That must be the problem because since if finished my Cabin Bedroom Project, I have been having trouble getting my butt in gear.

I call that the BIG problem. Can't get my Butt In Gear.
Give me a new saw chain and I can find you a rock in a heartbeat.

I've found that if before I start in the morning, I put my butt in gear and then start with it already in gear I can go. It's a little hard on the starter though, and you have to be careful when shifting gears.  ;)

  I remember my Granddad claiming to have "Dropsy and heart failure", dropped his butt in the chair and don't have the heart to make it get up.

I started slowly and tapered off today.  Sawing tomorrow and a guy called this AM with a ~10Mbf framing lumber & wall paneling job.  (building a new home)

Mojo can be like grabbing the air at times, humidity can take all the mojo even before starting,  I'm still not sure if its my clutch or slave cylinder, but between the rain, then sun and humidity as much as I hate to say it, fall can come in any time now.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

I shoulda kept my mouth shut.  Another call this PM with 4-5Mbf of SYP.  He said 40-50 logs all to be sawn into 1X6's, 1X8's & 1X10's.  I plan to start it on the 16th.

It seems I am a coarse thread bolt in a world of fine threaded nuts!

With your birthday coming up soon, I can guarantee that  your clutch will increase to slip even more.
However I will continue to admire your industrious nature. 72 is not old, just older.....You are a real role model for all ages !!!!
