I got to use some tools I haven't used in a while this afternoon...
I was upstairs on the computer, the XYL (that's wife to you non hams) had just left for the grocery store, a couple minutes later I heard the front door open and she came in saying that there was a tree across the driveway. I asked her how big it was, BIG she replied.
It was a maple about a foot across at the base. My old Homelite chainsaw that I bought right after Hugo wouldn't even begin to start, hasn't been started in several years. SO the only option was to use our Black & Decker battery powered chain saw.
It took several battery changes and finishing it up with the bow saw to get through it in two places but I got it cut and moved out of the way, so Belinda has left for the grocery store, again, maybe we won't starve after all...
Got to get the Homelite saw to the small engine shop this week, you never know when another tree will fall and we'll be trapped again.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, what's left of it.
