Looking good Ken, and here I'd thought you'd fallen off the face of the earth.
Here's a thought for you, and it won't cost more than a brush full of paint. When you get down to the last cut of the log, rather than trying to cut the 18" off while leaving the short stump on the deck and having to hold it with your hand sometimes, there is an easier way. Paint a stripe on the deck your desired block length BACK from the saw bar and line up the back end of the log with this line for the last cut. That will allow you to cut off the short stump from the bigger piece rather than the other way around.
