Mount the saw on a bench vise clamped to the bar. Mark the first tooth you file (the Stihl has a green link, no marking necessary), do that one and the others you can reach then move the chain to get to the next set.
@Bruce You missed a couple of steps: 1st buy a bench then buy a vise to mount to it. :plbb We just got a 20ft storage container to use as a shop but it's not leveled yet.

You can buy a stump vise, pound in into a good size stump or round you haven't split yet. Not as comfortable as standing at a workbench but good in a pinch or if you are out cutting in the woods and need to sharpen the chain.

A friend and I leveled and blocked two 40 footers, my son’s shipping containers. You need the big square 4” pads and solid concrete blocks. No cinder blocks. Those things get deathly hot inside. The little vents he had that are made for those things do nothing to ventilate or disperse the heat.

Daylight savings time messed me up this morning, I didn’t adjust my clock. I didn’t make it to 9:30 class, but I made it to 10:30 church. Then I went home. Started laundry, changed sheets on my bed, started a roast in the crock pot. Well, sorta a roast. For whatever reason, it was sliced. So I grated a lot of garlic and layered it between the slices. A splash of soy sauce , a little water and a carton of fresh whole mushrooms. I can get some meat out, add vegetables and have a good supper this week.

Hunger now! I cooked 2 pork chops and cheesey baked Brussels sprouts. Those turned out delicious. I have a pork chop and a couple of helpings of Brussels sprouts left over.

I tried a Keto bread recipe. It’s ok, mine isn’t as lofty as pictured, but it’s ok. I think next time I’ll make the hamburger buns or the breakfast biscuits. I’ve made them before and they are good.

Was talking to @farmerjan and she asked for the cheesy Brussels sprouts, so here it is. Haven’t tried the other recipe yet.

Here’s my roast and mushrooms, and bread.

I’ve been so tired this past week that I’ve settled for a bowl of cereal. Not this week!

Years ago, I traveled pretty much non-stop to military bases all around the world so I was catching flights at some strange times. I also lived in an area that had power outages quite often so I splurged on a clock that had battery backup as well as an auto reset via satellite that adjusted for the time changes.

@Baymule I've been following 2 keto groups on facebook that have some REALLY great recipies.
Kristie Sullivan has a couple of different groups & several cookbooks - her bread recipies ROCK!
Eat Like A Bear is low carb & intermittent fasting. She has several really tasty 'one dish' meals that I often break up into 2 or 3.

Margali: Where did you get your 20' Connex container? DH wants to price them and see if it would be better to buy one in Texas and have it delivered instead of trying to bring one of ours back. The benefit is that we would not have to pour a slab like we would to put up a metal building. Getting ventilation into it without allowing bug access will be tricky, but doable.
