A giant tree falling over just randomly

....


Not good.

I once hired a guy to cut down a giant dead oak.... he brilliantly decided not to call the electric company....and yeah, climbed up on the tree with a chainsaw and started going at it.....and yeah, hit the line... it shot him out of the tree and onto his back on the ground.... but the chainsaw shut off, and after a minute he was, well....just as fine as before he started.

Taking a break while the rental company comes out to see why the gezzie quit working properly.
I am being very careful with these tree's as they will drop a limb without any warning or even a good reason. one has been hit by lighting more then once and the top 1/3 is very dead and about 1/2 of the trunk on one side has died also. They overhang the house by a fair bit, so they have to go on my terms, not some cold, rainy and or, windy night when they want to.
So far I have not used anybody's name in vain.

Sounds dangerous to me. Be careful

Oh yeah, needing a cup of coffee. Lousy coffee at the field trial, but had a good. Young male named Tee Party won the class of 20. This is his second win in limited number of field trials.

Glad to hear you are being careful. Can't have you getting hurt!
We recently had the power company come out and cut a few trees. Hubby was going to cut them, but its much easier on me when the power company does it. lol

WV did you see that the fertility guru has once again called me demeaning even though I exited her thread 2 days ago ? She also stated the FACT that she has a hen that has been broody for 5 years. Still waiting on her technique for determining fertility in non incubated eggs.

We went to the zoo today and of course I befriended all the farm animals, namely the goats

Also went to a concert last night, I'm friends with one of them, so always fun seeing my friends and we stayed overnight, though we probably didn't need to, and then zoo today. But they didn't have very good signs or many at all so we somewhat backtracked a lot and UGH SO MUCH WALKING LOL

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Well, I am laughing cause that whole conversation from this point of view sounds funny! Congrats on the win, Sour.

Thanks, MM. He's a young dog who is developing into what may be something special.
