    Ninja and I went down to help FIL take the pool cover off and we started looking at a few trees. I went back to the house and grabbed a saw and ppe and we’re ready to go.
    just as we’re ready for this 8” oak the lady’s got back to the house from an event.
    Daughter grabbed her phone and caught the action.

    Guess who on the deck is the SIL.

    Yahtzee!! They didn’t figure you could make the shot did they?

    As for the tree I love stuff that size! Easy to handle and split!

    I'm guessing SIL is the one who says "better hope that goes the right way."

    Nice work

    The rope was an insurance policy for the breeze. The tree wanted to go where it went, like most do.
