    Scotty Overkill , when I saw that video I could not help but think of you dropping that oak and there was a camera on the ground taking a video of it falling. Thankfully it missed the camera but not by much. Was that brenndatomu who put the camera there?

    Man I don't see how you have time for all you do? Does the electrical shop work 24 hour shifts so you have days off at the time?
