Man, I wish I'd started doing that years ago! I keep a running list on my phone now and it saved my butt last month when a guy tried to say I scratched his screen.

Did your buddy end up filtering from that beaver pond like mine did?

You ever crack open a brake cover after a dusty job and find that black goo has basically turned into peanut butter? Had that happen on a big eucalyptus takedown near Clovis last spring, except mine mixed with sap and got so bad the brake would not fully release until I scraped it out with a flathead. I ended up pulling the cover every other tank just to wipe the drum and the little spring area down with a dry rag, which sounds like a pain but beat fighting a slipping chain. Dry rags worked way better than the wet shop towels for me since those just smeared it around.
