What Disappointed You Today?

[Lyte]

Totally get what you're saying re: getting a chain saw stuck and losing momentum on the day! The pinch is annoying as hell... even when you've weighed n measured every angle and it STILL gets stuck!

The only thing that's slightly more scary but no less annoying than a pinch... is a kickback on a circular saw! Each time I swear I'm gonna slice a limb!

This morning I have re-evaluated the mess I left yesterday with the tree caught up in another tree's branches. It'll be a non-quiz to get that tree down. I do need to quit getting so cocky with outdoor machinery though. When I am having a good time and things are going well, I notice I go too far with it, push my luck. Yesterday I knew I was cutting in too deep with that one cut but thought I would just hurry things along. I now see what happens to me with that mindset. Last night I recalled summer of 2016 when I was having a party with that GroundHog auger I rented from Home Depot. I went too deep (knew better) and buried the auger tight. It was like buried in concrete ... took half a day to dig it out in scorching heat and over the top humidity. I know I do not want to end up in a youtube DUMB-ASS EPIC FAIL LUMBERJOCKING video. LOL ! I wonder if there is anyone else here who does things like this.

I will take out the limb late afternoon because yesterday was supposed to be only day of weekend to work outside. I must do indoor work today when I get back from buying groceries and getting a haircut. Now I wish I had done housework, bought groceries and gotten haircut yesterday. I despise working indoors. It makes me feel trapped. But I seriously need to quit whining about it or hire a housekeeper.
