Yup, wait for it … The sound of Sirens! Yup, he fell off the ladder and needed 30+ stitches.

So much for "I know what the F*&^$%K I'm doing.
Maybe that's EXACTLY what he wanted to do?
Or (more likely) it what he didn't want, but we all knew was going to happen.

I've cut branches from a pine tree in our yard while straddling another branch, using an electric (POS) chain saw. Not too difficult if you aren't standing/sitting/attached to the branch you're cutting.

Now we have a pole saw, for cutting SMALL branches within reach.
The big stuff we leave to the pros.

I am a legend in my own mind!
