IT IS A BIG DAY AT THE CHURCH O THE PINES, as guys from the Northern Clearing Co. are here, opening up (dead and threatening trees and limbs) the area around our power lines that run to the cabin.

VERY professional and nice guys, and it is a pleasure to watch the experts work. Always more to learn in the area of chainsaw use and safety, how to control a drop and more. Of course, I told them that if I had all this equipment—and a 5 man crew—I’d be pretty good, too.
