And you thought I was kidding ...

About having to do yard work on Father's Day.

I got to play tree sturgeon.

I'm no tree surgeon, but living in a pine forest I have four chain saws. On Saturday I loaded all the limbs and branches that I cut last summer or that fell off during the winter (tons of those all over the neighborhood) into the Dakota and took 'em to the rodeo grounds for our annual "get rid'a that shit FREE day". We also get free chipping of limbs from the town if we wish to avail ourselves of it. They bring a big chipper right to your driveway. They used to haul the chips away but budget cuts now mean the chips are yours. The town chipper guy will discharge the chips in any direction you like, though.

I'm cuttin' the sumbitch up and throwin' everything back from where it came. Over the fence. Heh ...

My next door neighbors did that to me once many years ago. Heh.

I wouldn't do it if I liked that neighbor. Crazy cat lady, it's been Hatfields and McCoys with her for close to 50 years, when my parents still owned this place.
