TIMBER!

28 Sept 12 - Couldn't sleep Thursday night, but finally turned off the music at 2:00 am. Alarm woke me up at 7:30 am Friday, so got up and turned it off. Went back to bed. Woke up for the second time about 10:00 am. Went in and had breakfast with Ken. Then we got busy and went outside to prepare for the tree falling. We climbed into the truck and drove to Ken and Nancy's church.. Literally right next to the church. I should have put a target on the ground for Ken to aim for, because he fell the 40-50 foot tree perfectly. Ken sawed off the branches and then cut the trunk to hauling length. And we put the larger limbs into a pile which Ken and his friend with a trailer will pick up later. We filled up the truck with the small limbs and cut up trunk. He drove back to the house and cup and axed everything to fire size. I piled the branches into their piles and helped stack the split up wood. All in all a good two hours.  Great job Loke!!!
