whoa!!!!

That just brought back a memory from years ago when my older brother had me, our youngest brother (Bob) and a friend help him clear some dead trees from his back yard.

While we were clearing the deadfalls he decided to cut down a 20-30ft dead tree without telling us.
We only knew he had cut it down when it fell on Bob, grazing his should enough to tear his rotator cuff and scrape his back and shoulder. We realized that the older brother literally came within inches of killing Bob if the free had hit his shoulder or head.

Needless to say we don't let the older brother cut trees when anyon is around. I fear that he'll be a feature video on you tube showing what happens when a tree hits your house or car.

Glad you son survived with just a bump or bruise, and you with a few more gray hairs!

I am a legend in my own mind!
