Well today sucks. I woke up with strep throat. But worse than that hubby stuck his finger in the hedge trimmer. Industrial hedge trimmer. He had on Teflon gloves or we would be undergoing reattachment. As it is, he's getting a bunch of stiches in his right index finger. I am NOT picking his nose for him.
Agree, today ducks! - Yesterday my new battery powered chainsaw was delivered to the orange big-box store and i rushed to pick it up. Today the battery was fully charged and i was eager to try it out. It is really good! I am surprised. Cutting trees as fence posts will be a breeze from now on…
You know the saying »If the donkey feels too well, he walks onto the ice«? here in the U.S.?
I was the donkey today.
No, there's no ice on the pond anymore, but in December the line-men cut a lot of trees under and around the power-line that runs over my property. I asked them to leave the wood there, with the intention of using it as fence posts, trellises, etc.
So, new chainsaw in my hand i walked towards the cliff at the road-side of my property and started cutting up the downed smaller trees into fence post size chunks. All went well with the sycamore tree-trunks. Then there was that red oak, off which i cut an 8 foot long piece and tried to pull it uphill…

Big mistake!

It was waaaayyy too heavy for me and instead of pulling it up it started to pull me down towards the cliff. And the glove on my right hand got stuck on a twig-stump so couldn't let go…

I somehow managed to pull rip my hand out of the glove before trunk and glove went over the edge and tumbled down those 5 meters to my driveway.
It wouldn't have been a death fall, but i would have ended up with some broken stuff in my body. So i just received plenty of scratches from the wild roses and the hawthorns, a twisted arm-muscle and some bruises on my knees.

Today ducks!

Hope your hubby is doing okay!?
 
REALLY?!? Oh for goodness sakes...
I was laughing my 🎑 off! - Before i could even complain at YT they had re-enabled the video. Basically i found two e-mails in my inbox, first one telling me that my video is in violation of the community rules and the next one, just seven minutes later with an apology.
Maybe they have just tested a new AI…
