Um, no, they were all on the same side. Did you have your morning coffee yet ? "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all. And unlike most advice, it's backed up by proofs." -- Algorithms to live by: The computer science of human decisions. |

I look at it this way: You are twelve million points ahead, Fred gets the enchanted lifestyle of preparing lunch for loved ones, and I get the coolness of sitting by myself gloating about maybe getting one question right (subject to official verification), EveryBody Wins !!! :D "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

I cook for the family on weekends--Part of my creative satisfaction. Just finished cutting up a tree that fell on my neighbor's fence--wiped out a whole section. Am now once again expert at changing chain saw chains. Regards, Bill |

Off-Topic; Just be sure to heed the warnings if using a Husqvarna chainsaw ... "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all. And unlike most advice, it's backed up by proofs." -- Algorithms to live by: The computer science of human decisions. |

More off topic while waiting for Luke: I don't have a "Husky" . I have a McCullough but was surprised to find that the extra Stihl chain I found in my garage fit perfectly. I don't remember when or why I bought it. I always wear heavy clothing and the thickest work gloves plus heavy plastic eye shield. I always keep my head and upper body out of direct line of the blade arm. Keep plenty of oil in the reservoir and rest the chain when cutting a thick log section so it doesn't overheat and lose it's tempering. |

...I don't have a "Husky" . I have a McCullough...Ah yes, the 'famous?' Husqvarna inscription warns against using certain body parts to stop the chain/blade... I guess though you're safe to use whichever body parts you like ;D "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.
