Lumberjack

I'll have to make room on my resume for LUMBERJACK.

 

A tree in my front yard was struck by lightning Monday. It fell directly into my house. As the storm continued, I used a bow saw and loppers to get the tree on the ground. No easy task.

I then set out to find someone who could loan me a chainsaw. Today my friend let me know she had one, but that it had never been used. I drove up to get it, and proceeded to attempt to start it for about 3.5 hours. Daylight was wasting, so I headed back out with my bow saw and loppers.

My neighbor came home and tried for a long tome to start it... eventually... it... started...

I cut and I cut until the engine got hot and it stopped.

There is more to do, but my back can't take any more today (not to mention the blisters), AND it is raining.

So I'll add lumberjack to my resume and head off to work at the circulation desk in the morning. Multitasking a specialty!
