Are you talkiing about the tornado in Barrie? I lived in Montreal at the time, had been laid off not long before, wasn't doing anything, so I took the train to Barrie and helped clean up for a few days. Quite the destruction. Worked with a bunch of Menonites, good guys. The Red Cross came around and fed us a few times a day. Spent most of the time putting bricks in piles and going around with pails picking up personal objects, pictures and books and things, so people could go through them later and maybe find their stuff.

That place really took a hit.

Yeah. I was in Camp Borden for the summer and the entire base got called out in "Aide to the Civil Power" The twister passed right over the base before really touching down hard in Barrie. It was an F4. Edmonton had a bad one in July 1987 as well, killed 27, another F4, perhaps an F5.

Did you get sent to Barrie? Maybe we met, who knows. :cheers:
 
Today I welded 12 trailer frames, then thinned a Red Maple and rec climbed with my 3 year old girl and her new New Tribe harness and Petzl helmet. It's her second time up and she can already run a VT pretty good, no old school for her, lol.

I started in 69 and climbed all day yesterday. I could climb every day (don't have to) if I was spiking every day (easy).

Don't let Jeffy scare you into retirement Rope. :)

Now thats hope lol good for you glad to see some grit is still left:clap: Hey Jeffy get up a tree:hmm3grin2orange:
 
What did I do today? Well so far I got a truck&trailer nearly full of dead red oak. Some rounds were HUGE but my MS 390 virtually called their mother a ##### then proceeded to transform them into liftable pieces. Now I loaded up the bobcat mower & gotta cut a lawn. Good times.
 
I am waiting for my climber to finish an estimate and phone so we can go do a small job. Couple of maples, not big, one busted 20' up and leaning into another tree, a few hangers here and there, and one small leaner. Maybe two hours. Very nice client. She's a bit hard to find sometimes to get paid, but she never complains about the price and there are years where we walk away with several cords of maple from her place. She never wants to keep any, and that's okay with us.

He's probably still snoozing with one of those little cartoon circles above his mustachioed head that shows you are dreaming and little pictures of safety glasses, ear muffs, chainsaw chaps, etc etc swirling around in it. :)
