Do you mix it or just drink it straight?

Yesterday I watched my neighbor fell a tree with the help of...someone.

The cutter seemed to not be familiar with the task. The neighbor had a line around the tree to make it fall where wanted, which was accomplished by pulling it directly towards himself.

The line was not longer than the tree was tall.


Today there is an Eversource truck doing...something with the electrical wires right next to where they were dropping a tree.

I'm sure it's unrelated.

A couple of years ago the local power company had Asplundh trimming their right of ways.

They were cutting some trees in the tree line between our house and the neighbors to protect the feed to the neighbors house.

There was much chainsawing...a crash...and...'oh make the beast with two backs, that's not what I wanted to happen'.

Ripped the power line and cable right off the house...and these are 'pros'. [roll]

Old Tom always straight.  The regular stuff both ways.  Sometimes a gin and tonic is perfection.  Got to be good tonic, like Fever Tree.

Lumberjacking is typically #1 or #2 for dangerous jobs.

Not something I'm inclined to mess with.

I described it to my brother and he asked why I didn't go over to stop the stupidity.

I told him it was because I had never seen an accident like that in person before.

I don't really enjoy the late afternoon meetings.

Time for a drink!

Dislike not having the ability to do something (sing, run fast, cook).  That something today is getting the pedals off my bike.  Such problems I have.

After 5-ning  [drink] [drink]

Had a win  ;D   The quaint old pub in the next village brews their own beer and is surviving in these closed-down times by delivering 9 pint 'boxes' of the stuff to your front door.

One down, 17 pints to go  [beer]
