Multitasking in the moment.

Today I had conversations with my dad and my mom. Simultaneously.

Left eye and left ear on dad.
Right eye and right ear on my mom.


Dad: I would like to fertilize the lawn soon.
Me: Ok. We can get that done on Saturday.

Mom: We got he results of your dad's PET Scan.
Me: Oh?

Dad: Aerate the lawn first.
Me: Sure. That's not a problem.

Mom: It's not good
Me: (silent)

Dad: Use the 10-2-5 this weekend.
Me: Ok. And what to do with the other bags?

Mom: Your dad is refusing a biopsy.

Dad: One gets spread in November then the other in December.

Mom: Without biopsy test they said maybe 6 months.

Dad: Putting it down this way will cause the grass to grow faster but the weeds wont have much of a chance.

do you wanna know how to say penis in Arabic? “Bamboola” lately I’ve been singing “shake, shake, shake- shake your bamboola!” While aggressively dry humping my wife. stuff like that is probably why @Laughing Grass is a lesbian.
Awesome stuff..... :clap:

I have been watching several of this guys videos. Packing into the backcountry with goats and dogs, trout fishing....pretty cool:cool:

Well, after waiting 2 years for my buddy to recover from misdiagnosed lyme disease, we decided to cut down this dead oak tree. The tree is 60' tall.

So he climbed up there and cut the most dangerous limb off, the one that could fall on the fence in a storm.
20201001_102306.jpg20201001_105657.jpg

It hit the adjacent tree and took off a couple branches. So he decided that we could burn the branches in a little brush fire.

Except it was windy and things didn't quite go as planned.

The brush fire caught the fucking tree on fire.

Had to rapidly get the ladder off the tree and try to control the fire.

It burned up behind the bark and burned up into hollow spots left by bugs and pileated woodpeckers that have been pounding that tree for 2 years.
20201001_135850.jpg
Burned off most of the bark and continued to burn.

20201001_204559.jpg
9 hours later, it's a fucking light show, and still burning.

Back to the drawing board in the morning. It's in a reasonably safe location that can't really ignite anything else.

I hope.

How hard should it be to cut down a dead tree?

It's not what you expected but it sure looks like a nice fireworks display.

Just trying to look for a silver lining.
