[DMCForum] Re: Angle Drive Cable (Joe)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trust me -- there's no way I could earn any money with the crappy
chain saw I just resurrected.

I'm doing a bunch of yard work in exchange for free hair cuts. The
owner of the shop is definitely coming out ahead on this transaction.

But I am very proud of the pecan limbs I managed to cut down without
killing myself. For those who don't know: pecan trees are amazing.
Their limbs start about 200 feet in the air, then droop over a half
mile span to touch the ground. Absolutely no easy way to get them down. 

I also cleaned out a scrub oak -- another amazing tree. The limbs are
all intertwined. You can cut them free from the trunk all you want,
but they simply will not fall to the ground. I ended up using rope to
pull them down.

I have never planted a single tree or bush, yet between the PO of my
house, my ex-wife, the owner of thus hair salon, and the church,
enough other people have planted green things to keep me busy for the
rest of my life. Am not getting paid a penny mind you, but I am
working myself to death cleaning up after them.

Thank God for cement.
