Posted my cheesecake recipe on Virginia Chickens, coffee and chocolate thread. Hope all enjoy it.

My wife made a awesome cheesecake using cottage cheese, it's what they used a hundred yrs ago. There are recipes online. It was the best cheesecake I've ever tasted, couldn't even tell it was cottage cheese!
 
The whole chain is just about a quarter inch deep... Its a pretty small chain. No part of that chain comes out of the groove right now... but there is a little play when I push the chain up from its low point on the underside.

I have two 14 inch chainsaws. They're handy but can be a pain and tempermental. When the chain hangs down from the bar the little gap should be no more than !/4 inch. Hope this helps. Sorry it took a bit to draw up. sorry it's so rough looking.

 
I know I see a frog on a rock in a cave but what is it really?

I saw a frog on a country road, infront of a tuft of grass, and a wooden rail fence... no cave.

I also saw a poorly drawn... uh... female anatomy.

Only after you'll mentioned the horse, could I see the horse....

The anatomy is pretty clear.
 
I have that..... first part.... Thanks for describing the operation.... And Yep thats how it hopped off the bar cutting small branches about an inch in diameter.

this chain is pretty small maybe a quarter inch deep when its off the bar. The spacing between the cutting blades is pretty far like once every four links.

It came with about four ounces of oil which filled up the chamber about half way originally its down only a little according to the marks on the level.... But I will want to fill it up again before we use it again... it will be me using it this time. Thank goodness there are only two branches left. I have to stand to cut those.

I am going to have to cut the branches on the ground though probably a good truck load. They just need to be short enough to not hang off the back of the truck. I have no tail gate and have to strap every thing down pretty creatively.

I think I will make up a workstation right next to the truck so I can cut and toss...

I was going to say some Bar oil might help you until you find the right adjustment while cutting the remaining 1% of your job.

Here Deb: this is what you may be looking for. Go to the 4:30 mark of this video.
. Little on the snug side but it can be pulled up or down and it snaps back to the bar. no Slack. When it gets warm running it will loosen. ....apparently and according to this video.
 
Hey I fixed moms Chainsaw yesterday

Story is followed by a question for chainsaw users

When we were trimming the Mulberry tree the other day the chainsaw chain came off its track. Work stopped then and we were about 99 percent done. So I called it a day. I have never operated a chainsaw before and still haven't. But when I saw Miguel putting it back in its box I saw a slot in that bar that holds the chain... I immediately knew that was to allow for adjustment. I told mom I could fix it when she called and yelled at me mad.... I got mad back and told her I would buy her a new chainsaw... It was ugly.

Feathers smoothed down the next day and she apologized. That was Saturday. So Sunday she calls and says "When are you coming over to fix the chain saw" meaning she wants me to come over NOW. So I said "I guess I am coming over Now"

Apparently The fellow shes been trying to get to work around her house and not showing up finally showed up on Sunday. She had asked him to fix the Chainsaw.... He had fumbled with it for quite some time and decided he couldn't so he left it laying on a work table completely disassembled....

So I get there I didn't even tell her I was there. I had no instructions and the whole thing was all apart... Pretty simple design really. The chain orientation was marked two places on one that bar thing and one on the saw chassis. (just looked it up it IS called a bar) I had no idea there were sprockets in the end of the bar.... Very interesting. I understand sprockets...

Then I just tried putting it all together to see what it was that Terry couldn't figure out. Ah found the adjustment screw.... tried turning it but it kept backing out the hole... BAD design on the part of a cheep chainsaw.... There should have been a keeper for that screw to keep it from coming out.... I don't know chainsaws but I do know mechanisms.

there were three phillips head screws fastening the adjustment screw down with a plate. That plate had some punched features that followed the slot on the bar to keep the bar from rotating. I took those screws out and removed the plate. The Adjustment screw was now free to come out. I pulled it out and hand turned the adjustment pin till it was at the loosest setting. And reinserted the adjustment screw and covered it with the cover and reinstalled the phillips screws. Only one was into metal the other two were screws for plastic.

Everything finger tight with one more turn to snug. I know plastics.... and what those screws are capable of. The bar went on perfectly so did the chain... of course the chain was hanging but I couldn't adjust the tension till I fully assembled the housing. One screw.... and a nut fastened down with its own wrench.... finger tight then a good snug up with the wrench.

Then the acid test I started tightening the tension.... and was very happy to watch the chain lift up into its groove on the bottom of the bar..... YAY. I snugged it up but didn't take out all of the play. I think the chain moves about a sixteenth of an inch when pressed up.... Which is about the width of a semi sharp pencil tip.

OK Now here is the question for you Chainsaw users. Its a fourteen inch electric chainsaw. How tight should that chain be?
