David you know what they say "haste makes waste" :D
I can't say much, about a month ago I did it twice in 1 day, 1st go around hit the backstop about 1/8" from the top and sawed it bout half off, 1hr later got it again and sawed it the rest of the way off. Oh well :D ::) ::)

The other day Little Jo hit a dog.
New saw just put on after  hitting an insulator while squaring up the log with the last new saw.
She was kicking herself for that one ;D

Might as well take lunch and breath air fir a few min ;D

Yea, these are little pine logs, doing just because,  bird in hand better than two in a bush.  Got me! first time in quite a little while, sad part is you know it just before the hit.

Not a blade, but I accidentally knocked the power feed control completely open while sawing yesterday.  That makes for a wild ride before you can get it stopped.  No damage, just a....  :o

I can only imagine what it's like to go along for the ride.
