Update:


I wish I could figure out how to have this thing work on this blog so you folks that want to contribute money to the Ottertail could do so easily......



Caught in the act, I should have hidden the camera.... I kept thinking, "do not saw between the ladder and the trunk....".





Relax, I'm not sawing off my support limb! It's really on the other side.








I quit because this storm front was moving in. Weird lighting, but it looked really neat out there.





The weather chased me away from the outdoor work, so I had to go into the house and have a bevvy.... as Onslow would say. We watched Onslow and Daisy's grand-daughter's christening on the telly tonight. I think that's one of their best episodes. It's the "Keeping Up Appearances" series, and it's a riot.

I gotta go, Carlo

Usually a logger will cut the tree down and then cut it up! It's interesting to see you cut it up before you cut it down!

Wall, I ain't no usual logger.... I'm a blogger.

But thanks for the comment, who ever you are.


I gotta go, Carlo

It looked a little rotten in spots, some holes in the side going into punk wood, etc.. Besides, it gave me the chance to do something dangerous, if not outright nutty.....
