The Axe Man Cometh

 Yeah this is late.... or early depending on your perspective. I have kinda lost track of time since I am on vacation. I have been out doing stuff like????? Turkey hunting pretty much every morning that it's not raining. I heard one gobbler opening morning, you know??? the morning I forgot my call. I haven't seen any turkeys but I did see this guy yesterday.

I know that was yesterday because the day before that I was at my neighbors house doing what I said I would do. He mentioned to me about a year ago that he needed 6 tree's taken down. Me being the idiot I am said, "I could do that for you, no problem". We have looked at the project a couple times formulating a plan on how to accomplish the task. Finally the stars aligned, the 75' cherry picker got dropped off and after a short discussion about what tree and where, off we went. As you looked at them we started right to left since we wanted them all to fall to the right. That way we would have 0 clean up until all tree's were dropped. He had the boom rented for 2 days but it we got done in 1, so we could save a days rental. So it was Bill, Cliff, Cliff's 2 kids and myself, it was a team effort but we got it done. In preparation for this feat I doubled up on Axemen to hone my knowledge and skill.... yeah I mostly just winged it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

These are Cliff's kids Michael and Lincoln they wanted to go up

We didn't get too high before, "Can we go down down"? was spoken in unison.

I told Bill we'd miss the house.

We missed the house

Well that was Sunday and after Turkey hunting yesterday I went over and limbed and sectioned the downed trees. Next we'll move the logs out and rent a chipped for the branches. I already had an ad on FB to get rid of the wood. We have over 15 people that will take some so far. Today I'm going turkey hunting again and then heading into Fort Wayne with Jake to get a truck for the trek to AZ. We'll be leaving early Wed. morn and getting there Thursday sometime I'm guessing.

As a side note: now I understand why Corey doesn't talk to his neighbors.
