Mechanical Update

 After some tinkering, I started the engine of an old chainsaw that a neighbor gave me. Now that it runs, I'll replace the missing chain, and start cutting down what I believe is a privet tree. This is a large, messy tree, and the way it's growing this could be my last chance to remove it myself. Later, when it's cold, I also want to significantly trim the almond tree.

The new chain was only $13 on Amazon, and I'll have a good 42cc, 18" chainsaw, branded Craftsman, but actually made by Poulan.
