That was a good find, Fiona. I was confused at first by his wanting to cut around what either was the co-dominant joint or a crack, thought the tree might split then and there. Then when the whole tree was shown and later on, it sure didn't seem like good reasoning that wedges would be getting...

For smashing a house?

It does show how quickly someone can get themselves in trouble when they go to cut down a tree. That one was when he first started the engine.

Not wanting to look like I just stepped out of a Bailey's catalog page, I'd have also rubbed a little dirt on my chaps,

Seemed pretty careless with his wedges. At one point after his doubling up popped out the tree set back. Fortunately he had another wedge in there that kept it from setting back hard and losing it. It seemed like a combination of details could have added up to something undesirable happening...

Before burning up the saw?

Them boys are what you call slow learners.

How come on those wannabe vids there is always a woman unable to control herself first screaming then laughing? Wonder if it's the same woman going around the country with her crew?

How can a person be pulling and not know why? That defies all logic.

A battlefield commission, Dave.

Depends on the situation. I'd say massaging her ears would be more fitting there. Supposed to be a way to relieve stress.

The woman laughing lacks education.

you could well be right, Jerry. I thought the thick brush might be an asset with that one. Wonder of the roof was punctured? Kind of in an analytical mood about it with recent happenings. :|:

Still lucky, a fairly soft landing
