Big storm. High winds. Trees down. A man with a smoker doing his civic duty!

[DeepElemCue]

What??!!! The road is blocked above my house? A maple and an oak down you say? Helps on the way!!!!

same day I get a call from my brother....

Your peach tree needs pruning? Without seeing it I believe you are correct it DOES need pruning. Be there tomorrow.


I like to think I do my part.........

 

[LMAJ]

What a good guy helping everyone out like that!

 

[DeepElemCue]

What a good guy helping everyone out like that!

Absolutely. I do it for the greater good. My reward will be great in heaven. I like to think of myself like Gandhi with a chainsaw.

 

[dwfisk]

I'm thinking you will get part of your reward when you fire up your cooker!

No no!! I do it to see the smiles on all the children's faces when....they can drive......down the road. That's it!!! It's all about the children.

Children of all ages smile when they eat good Q too, just sayin.:becky:

You are absolutely right! It would be selfish of me NOT to take the wood to use in my smoker.

 

[bkleinsmid]

That's why I stay very close to my buddy that owns peach, prune, and almond orchards. Never know when he might need some help trimming.....:grin:

Nice to meet you Ghandi, They call me Yoda. :mrgreen:

A while back I was in to lumberjack competitions. My saw is bored, stroked (65 to 87cc), ported, and has been on a dyno to verify what I feel when I pull the throttle.

I do it for the smile it puts on my face.

 

[trufunk]

I need a saw!! For mesquite & oak cuttin'. wish I could find a husky 346 in good shape local.

 

[DeepElemCue]

I bought a cheapo reciprocating saw through harbor freight and was gifted a chainsaw by my Dad. Both work well, but you'd be amazed at how well that $30 saw from HF works.

 

[trufunk]

Might have to check that out. I was even thinking of the Poulan 2050 from HD.

 

[Happy Hapgood]

You are a True Humanitarian Sir!

 

[Fwismoker]

My neighborhood produces the best TBS....Silver Maple, Mulberry and Oak...Can't beat it!:-D

 

[DeepElemCue]

Well it wasn't easy cutting all of that wood, but I am glad I did it....for my town

 

[jeffturnerjr]

Exactly. For the town. :wink:

I think it's the Boy Scout in all of us that comes out when we see free wood.
I keep my large Chain Saw handy for these 'Emergencies'...

There are a lot of Pecan trees around my area, and as a good deed I remove downed trees and limbs...
A few Apple and Pears split apart in windstorms too.
Another Example... When the hot weather breaks, I'm gonna take down a dead Persimmon tree for my Brother-In-Law...
It requires work on my part, but I don't have to buy wood, just wait for it to dry.
