well our barn burned down today we lost 60 hens and 5 rabbits plus a bunch of equipment and what have you luckily it didnt spread to the house or anything it was caused by a heat light over a fresh batch of chicks we were raising
 
Took down two large River Birch today. Large leaders with no good central TIP so it was like climbing 8 or 10 trees. Had to rope everything over the house off of it's own leader. Nothing really technical but time consuming. Got everything cleaned up by 5:30 though so it was a good day.

Rain forecasted for tomorrow but I'm praying for it to pass us over. I'm behind. I've got a large Oak to do tomorrow with a postage stamp drop zone. Every stick is going to have to be roped and the spar is going to have to be blocked. 30" opening in the gate for access. Also have to remove a small brushy Mulberry at my condo complex. 4 stumps to grind. Just happy to be back to work. Feels great.

Congrats on the Baby girl and condolences on the barn.
 
Ouch!

Hope you can manage to relax and get better. :cheers:

Been doing just that...doesn't seem as bad as we thought at first, but been keeping weight off it and doing the treatments. Maybe a week, who knows. South Park has been a diversion between studies...Sally Struthers as Jaba the Hut is just about as good as it gets. See, enjoying my vacation already...

I suggest mass quantities of pain meds and 22 hours of sleep a day. Just time warp through the whole thing... Then again, I cannot stand too much couch time; drives me up a wall.
 
Five hours in Emerg. They seem to have ascertained I do not have appendicitis, so now am waiting for the scope up the arse to check for the big C. Came home with a dose of Toredol coursing thru my veins but the pain is back again. It is probably a good time to be unemployed.

Got to sit next to a convict in orange jumpsuit, shackles and cuffs who claimed he had swallowed a razor blade, and witnessed someone else go beserk in an examination rm with the ER staff, sending four security guards running to restrain the guy. He bellered at the top of his lungs for about five minutes until I presume they sedated him. Prolly on drugs. The poor old man ahead of me in traige had BP of 77/50-they took him in pretty darn quick.

Best wishes to you Jumper. Just take it in stride and don't worry until the Doctor has thoroughly checked you out. I had a good friend who was having to be thoroughly examined because they thought he had lung cancer earlier this year. They were dam near sure it was cancer but it turned out to be some other rare, non lethal lung illness. I'll send a prayer up for ya.

Rain day here for me. The weather radio woke me up at just after 4 this morning with warnings of storms rolling in. That was eerily the same time the radio went off last week when the tornadoes hit. Looking like storms tomorrow too. Gonna dump a load of logs today and get my saws ready for the rest of the week. I've got to grind three chains and file one. Gonna see what I can tear up in the shop while it's raining.
