Murphy's Law.

[reible]

If my wife found out I got that close with a chain saw I'd be band from ever using one again. In all likely hood I also have to sell the ones I have.

For major jobs like the ash tree we had to have removed I'm getting to old to tackle that big a job anymore so we had a tree company come in and take it down. They had a crew so it went really fast and within a couple of hours there was no sign of the tree other then the stump. It would have taken me a week or more and then who knows how long to depose of all the branches.

So now I'm down to just 2 electric chain saws for taking down smaller things and fallen branches and the likes.

For smaller cuts that are hard to cover by normal bandages I use a product called new-skin. In fact I have bit on my right now on a knuckle cut that was causing me difficulty due to the movement issue.

You don't need much of it, the .3 oz package expires before I use it up but it is nice to have handy. Most drug stores also sell it so it is easy to find local as well.
