Up a Tree



The branches were getting too close to the deck. It was like sitting in a jungle.



The branches were big so there was a lot of sawing involved.



A lot of sawing in a very high place on a very little ladder.



The branches kept falling and hitting the ladder.



I couldn't wait to get down.

Bounty



The bugs are eating more than we are but at least we have a little something to show for all the hard work.

Hot Stuff



I've really got nothing to smile about.



I've been doing this all day in the heat.

Top Golf



My girls took me to play around at Top Golf on Sunday. I had a lot of fun.
Thanks!

Happy Father's Day



Yesterday me and the father-in-law were hanging out in the garage doing some men stuff. In the past 24 hours I had narrowly missed smashing the cable transformers with a tree limb I had been cutting down and had also flooded the basement with the water softener. That's enough men's stuff to last a long while. Today my kids are taking me golfing, that should keep me out of trouble.

It's Always Something



We had a monster of a storm last night. In just a few minutes we had major damage from falling trees. The cable boxes narrowly missed being demolished.



Huge trees were snapped in half.



Roads were blocked and power lines came down.



I had to fire up the chainsaw to get the cars out of the driveway. There is a big mess to clean up but now that I am retired, I can take my time.

A Big Clean Up



I took advantage of some cool weather and cleaned out the giant mess of a shed. I can't even identify half of what I am throwing out. I think the neighbors have been putting stuff in there when I am not looking. At least I could get it all in the truck. I was worried for a minute it wouldn't all fit. Off to the dump I go to see if they will take this stuff off my hands.
