What Disappointed You Today?

Just very let down right now.

I have been cutting down pine trees today with my Black Friday saw. So sweet! Having a fabulous go at it

Who could know everything could turn to shit so rapidly?

One bad cut has ruined the rest of the afternoon. I went in too deep ... the tree pinched the bar and chain. It was difficult getting it out. I mean my poor little Black Friday chainsaw was helpless, just hanging in the tree while I went to retrieve tools to remove it.The tree started falling toward me after I put a wedge in there and began tapping with a sledge hammer. I had been holding my new little saw as I tapped but when the tree was coming my way, I let go of the chainsaw and dove away. It hit the dirt. I have cleaned it but am almost afraid to crank it ... possibility it may have taken on some sand when it hit the ground. Chainsaws do not like sand.

And after all that, the damn tree is stuck about 90 feet up on another tree. It won't fall by itself

I am beat. There's less than an hour of daylight left. Tomorrow I will hook the tow strap to the tree, attach the strap to my truck and we'll say Bye Bye to this aggravating pine tree.
