Friday, Feb. 11, 2005 - 9:48 p.m. Before:
If you look closely, you can see how twisted and contorted this tree (what was 3 trees growing in the same spot, to be completely accurate) actually was. After fighting my chain saw for 20 minutes, I made a gas station run for fresh petrol (note- old burn pile should catch fire nicely in the near future, if a match finds its way into the brush). After that, the trees were down, chunked out, and the brush was loaded into the Hillbilly truck in about an hour and a half. Here�s the after view:
Dragging the small stuff (two wheelbarrows full of firewood-worthy pieces were salvaged, btw) to the truck was a chore! With all of the twists and turns the various branches had made, growing over the years, grabbing just one branch was impossible. I had to climb up into the bed of the Hillbilly truck several times to jump up and down on the mess. Nothing like a 250 pound human brush compactor to make the pile smaller. Here, in all its glory, is my Hillbilly truck, loaded in a true Hillbilly fashion:
What kept the branches from flying out and decapitating any following motorist? Two lengths of �� nylon rope, tied catty-corner in the bed. Worked great. Nothing hit the road in the drive from here to Mike�s house, about 3 miles west of Casa Roadiepig. So now there�s room for two of the Aronia berry bushes. I will have to move one of the tiny Christmas trees I threw into the ground back in December (shouldn�t hurt it one bit), and the root system of the wild cherry trees will be another obstacle. Even so, the Aronia bushes should do just fine� Took the digital Rebel to N.P.P. Lake today. I caught a few decent bluegills (I wanted to keep my consecutive months catching fish streak going- now at 14 months), but that wasn�t what I went there to accomplish. Shooting a few deer, along with a few pheasants, and a stray Red Tailed hawk was what I hoped to do. With the camera. Not a gun. Mission accomplished. More on that over the next few days�
