............till Sun evening about 7, got internet back Mon morning. Went out Fri morning at 7. Lost 2 trees in the back yard. An ash tree fell before I was up then about a quarter past 7 was standing in the living room looking out the back windows and heard the next one fall. It was a triple-trunked hedge. Guess what I got to do Fri afternoon and most of Sat.[:(!][:(!]

Will post pics later.

The one on the left was taken out last winter in the ice storm. I left it like this for a natural jungle gym for the kids.

    Must be tough for a member of the Internation Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to sit in a dark house and not be able to do anything about it. There was an old saying when I was a kid that "It's always the woodcutters stove that's cold."

    Trees, wind & hydro lines are not a good combination. [:(]

    Looks like you need 4 mexicans and 2 chain saws. A couple of cases of beer and that'll be stove wood in no time.
