Just about everything!

I feel so elated! I was able to drag four very large, very heavy logs out of my backyard. I prepared a take-off strip. Manipulated each one there with that STIHL Cant tool I bought a few weeks ago. Log rollers rock!!! Also had to strategically place some 2x12x24 pieces of lumber along their intended path to prevent them from rolling down and crashing my home in case a tow strap snapped or something else unplanned happened. The first one made me really nervous. I had to go slow, stop several times, adjust my angle, shorten the tow strap. Did this on each one. Very tedious and time consuming to say the least but all went well. I did get a little cocky on the third one after I made it past the house and started down the 150 foot drive way. I hung it on a stump but no big quiz - only extra work. The truck performed well as usual, kept the 4x4 engaged all the time when dragging.

Also, found out this type of work is helping with the pain in my right hip, leg, feet and toes. The sciatic pain returned full force almost three weeks ago when I fell on the back patio. It was hurting a lot this morning but shortly after I began the log dragging task, it disappeared.

All I know is for each log, I had to roll it to the take-off area ... secure it with straps, then tie it to the truck. Also, because of the size of these logs, I crawled out and climbed back in the truck on the average about fifteen times per log to adjust tow straps along the way . At any rate, I am so so grateful! For a change, I actually had what I describe as a productive day.

I already have five more lined up, positioned and really to roll.

Yes, smiled a lot today! Still am!
