Note American flag heaphones and American flag hat topped with the most American pose I could strike. Probably my most American photo to date in 2009.

OK, are you ready for the action video?  Hit the play button on the bottom left for good wood action. This is Grant on The Unicorn, slaying a dragon sized round!

Ohh what an exciting year it was!  I fell 2 of 4 trees the exact opposite way so there’s plenty of room for improvement next year.  Good exercise though, and it all goes toward something good.  Hope we have enough to keep the folks warm over the winter as the woods will be shut down in a week once the rain comes.

Timber!

Logging with trouble…

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Today was interesting.  My father lined up a day of logging in our woods to offset the high oil prices.  He found a helper to show up at 10AM from an local AA meeting.  The new guy and I greeted each other and headed down to the woods.  Amongst small talk I asked him what he was doing this week.  ”Going to jail” he replied.  ”Really?  For how long?” I asked.  ”6 months”.  He said it very calmly, and I later found he had been in trouble plenty of times before.  He told me about his problems with drugs and alcohol, and his bender that lost him his job and sent him to jail.  I left thinking how lucky I am to be free and to really appreciate the time I have.  He left having helped some people and making a change for the better before he’s forced to.
