[GH85Carrera]

As a little kid like most boys at one point I wanted to be a policeman or fireman or a doctor, but I never thought hey, lumberjack sounds like a great job. I was very wise and I can assure everyone that is not a job I want and will be real happy to be done with here some day.

We spent another 4 hours out there this afternoon. The Chinese Pastiche was damaged mostly all on the east side strangely enough. We will wait to hear from the arborist before we go further. The Bradford pear is a gonner.

There was one broken limb wedged in the crotch of the two biggest parts that my wife was insistent I get down and expend effort on its removal. The tree is getting cut down, and that little twig is insignificant. By golly it had to get removed.

Her birthday present, the electric cutters came in yesterday only 3 days late. I gave them to her already as it knew it would be helpful. She used them a lot today.

I ordered the chainsaw and the chainsaw oil and some of the leather water proofing oil Vash recommended. The chainsaw oil and the Obenauf's oil came in today. No chain saw. The Obenauf's could be delayed a month and no big deal. The chainsaw oil is pretty much unneeded with no chainsaw. I have always just used the same motor oil as my Porsche in the old chainsaw. It is getting a workout and was smelling pretty hot from a lot of use.
