    It is great working back there. All alone in the woods. Can't see any houses or traffic. Take a break and listen to the birds and other creatures. Life can be good sometimes!

    Gonna edit that a bit there Dennis.
    :)

    And as to the tree dismantling, Chazsbetterhalf said, "it's just amazing to watch all these guys cutting that up."
    or something akin to that.

    I enjoyed the cutting I did get done at Jim's place, and it was cool that with so many people running saws, everyone had presence of mind with their surroundings and other cutters.

    Was a great time.
    :)

    I'll third it too. There's something to be said about solitude.

    For sure, & it's not that easy to find in today's world either. That spot where Denny's working is a real beauty too.

    Funny, that was the first day for me to work with just a t-shirt (but also had pants on).

    I guess you could say partially. Wasn't at first but seems to be getting better. Have to take today off though after 2 days of working with the wood. But of course you know it was not 2 days; just a small part of 2 days, but I am super sore today.

    What kind of shot are we talking about here? Shots from a doctor or shots of Fireball? You can never tell with this crowd!

    Don't mind them at all. Also love to hear shooting in the distance. The music of Freedom!

    Nice work, Savage and team!
