One Busy Day

Monday, October 26th we took off to get some things finished

and it ended up being quite the productive day for the boys.

After putting a new bumper on Mike's truck they  came in and 

put the last coat of paint on the ceiling.

They then took the trailer, trucks, splitter and chainsaws down

to Florence's house to take out one of a number of dead trees.

I love watching these guys work - especially doing wood.  It's

an amazing cooperative effort and they just seem to know 

what to do without really talking to each other.

Bill hit a rock with his chainsaw and was trying to salvage

the chain - but ended up not using it for the rest of the afternoon.

The beer is always flowing though - nothing like using dangerous 

equipment when you're drinking.

I think that's the woodsman's way.

I'm tired just looking at the pictures.  It was a beautiful day and 

the only issue was getting out of the woods with the mud 

and a loaded trailer.

But with Florence's direction and dog tired determination

they got out on the first try.
