For 15 years after I built my house, I heated solely with wood.
A lot of friends/family did as well.
We would sometimes do work party cut & split events to help each other out.
My buddy had a Husqvarna chain saw (55cc, IIRC) and was positioning himself for the next cut on a 14" oak log.
My Father came beside him, almost elbow to elbow, and set his vintage McCulloch on the log.
Buddy looks up, like WTF, this isn't safe.....
Then, the penny dropped.... saw it on my buddy's face.
Dad wanted to race the Husky saw...
Later, Dad explained to him: "if it's got a motor, and there's more than one of 'em, you can RACE IT!"

My grandfather on the value of looking your best after years of marriage- “ There is no sense in chasing the trolley car once you’re on it .”

If at first you don't succeed, go back and get a faster bike!
