Man Time

On Wednesday night after work, the IBM guys came over with their chainsaws and stuff and helped Todd take down two GINORMOUS pine trees that had started to block our satelite's ability to receive HD channels. The first one came down with a loud thud and no injuries - it even landed on a Coke can without tipping it over! The second one came down fine, to a 45 degree angle, leaning on another tree. It took the 4 guys and a heavy-duty pick-up truck to pull it off, and then it ALMOST hit the house, but didn't. Whew.

They ended the evening with a few beers and some tacos, courtesy of me, and the kids' ability to entertain themselves long enough for me to make them :)

Great pic of the tree in mid fall. The thought of combining beer, tacos, chainsaws and pick up trucks makes me want to head out to Lowes this minute!

That's not mid-fall! That's the tree hung up on another tree!

Don't forget to put the gun rack on the back of your truck.
