Memorial Day

Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend? The weather was stunningly beautiful here. I had a great time. I busted out my brother's chain saw: an 18" Poulan Wild Thing. I took down three small trees/shrubs in my front yard and then fired up my John Deere and dragged them out back. They'll dry out and I'll burn them. But the big fun was at my neighbor's house. He just got a load of wood for his wood stove. He got the load in logs, like the size of extra wide telephone poles and a chest-high pile of them. So I went over to his place and started cutting them up too. There is just something very fun and soothing about working with a chain saw. I love it! On top of that his wife brought out Honey-Browns for us. What a great night! Then to top it off, he's got a high powered telescope and we looked at Jupiter with its storm clouds and moons. Very cool.
