TIP OF THE DAY
Are you starving your chainsaw?
Bar and chain oil keeps metal moving smoothly and prevents costly friction damage. Check the oil reservoir before every session and top it off.
Run the saw for a few seconds and hold it over cardboard; you should see a light oil spray pattern. If the chain looks dry or smokes during cutting, stop immediately and refill the reservoir.
BUG CONTROL
Dust mites feast on the dead skin cells humans shed every day - about 30,000 to 40,000 per hour - which explains why mattresses can double in weight over ten years. We've gathered 4+ telltale signs that these microscopic creatures have made a home in your bedroom, plus what to do about them.
FUN FACT
Did wine save pasteurization from obscurity?
Louis Pasteur was hired by French winemakers in the 1860s to figure out why their wine kept spoiling. After discovering that gentle heating killed the bacteria responsible for turning wine sour, he applied the same method to beer, then vinegar. Dairy producers didn't adopt pasteurization for milk until the 1890s, more than two decades after Pasteur published his findings. |  |
