Wednesday News

Still no word on Buttercup.
Today was spent supply buying - notebooks, highlighters, peanuts (the polystyrene kind), pens and whatnot for TERM and Bible Camp. Not my favorite job, but got it done anyhow with no problem.
Only packed 11 orders today. 12 yesterday and 31 on Monday.
Other than that, just a typical day in the office!

Here’s a link to a video that was shot a while back. 7.3 mb - of me cutting the top out of a ‘telephone pole’ - or a tree with no branches. It’s a *.mov - so you’ll need Quicktime to play it. It’s un-edited, and shot from the neighbor’s camera from inside, so there’s not the right audio.
Cutting the top out of a tree.

The things flying out of the top of the tree are plastic wedges. Tom should have been wearing a hard hat!

You are just plain fortunate you didn’t get hurt!
And your groundman should be fired! So much for letting the piece run . . .  Anyways, I’m glad you’re OK and thanks for the permission to use this.  I’ll use it in class showing why we let the log run and why we arborists don’t snub it off.

I agree full heartedly! My thought when I was up there going through that was “I hope I don’t get it in the chin!” (Very thankful I didn’t!)

Whoa! Not a pretty sight.
Thank-you, Lord, for protection.
