Man Steve...Nobody is trying to bust your chops, Ethan. I have no doubt you're a very smart young man and a hard worker.
When someone recommends using the decomp on the saw, it's not because they've got great big fuzzy ones. But because it helps save the recoil mechanism from damage. From a safety standpoint, it could also stop a violent kickback of the saw. Thus preventing a possible fatal cut to a leg.
It appears you have a wonderful wife and a newborn child that you let sleep on your chest. Everybody noticed when you said that and everyone admired you a lot for that. I certainly did. It reminded me when I used to do the same thing. Something I will always cherish.
Personal protective equipment is designed for one purpose and one purpose only. To allow you to continue to be with your wife, your child, your father and, believe it or not, with us.
You're old enough to be my grandson.
Stop and think about that for a minute.
Like my own granddaughters, I will watch them and coach them. When they stumble and fall I will help them back up, dust them off and ask them where they went wrong. I will help them realize where they made there mistake. And sometimes I will scold them for their mistake. But I will always have their back.
I think I can speak for everybody here in that no one dislikes you, Ethan.
And more than one here has your back.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pay attention to what's said, not how it's said. Everybody has been pouring tons of information to you. I'm 60 years old and have learned more than you could possibly know. But I don't know everything. I don't know how to read a degree wheel. I'm not that good at sharpening a chain. Im a better auto mechanic than I am a saw mechanic. I'll be the first to say"I don't know". And I'd like to think everybody here respects me for that.
Now, with that being said, I think you're a fine young man. I want to wish you a very merry Christmas and to your wife and child the same.
Be safe my friend.
You're almost old enough to be my father...
Lol...
Just sayin...
Merry Christmas brother..
"Older brother" of course ...
