Chainsaw Massacre

I played lumberjack in the backyard today. The heavy storm winds on Tuesday knocked down some significant limbs (12 inch in diameter). So out came my Eager Beaver chainsaw to clean up the mess. The first frost today made it feel crisp and enjoyable to be outside working.

There is something manly about using a chainsaw. The roar of circling steel, the blue smoke of exhaust and the spitting drips of oil flipping off the chain all add to the excitement of trying to control nature.

Plenty of firewood for the outdoor firepit - now just in time for Smores season.
