#8. I've seen this from plane, on land, and on the sea. From the air, its neat watching the circular gust front spread out.
I wonder if we were caught under one while sailing offshore. On a 45' vessel, so much rain it knocked the sea state utterly flat. Could not see the bow from the cockpit. Cockpit foot well filled up with water. Two 2" drains woefully inadequate. Lasted about ten minutes. As sudden as it came under a leaden sky, it was gone.
I heard of accounts of ocean birds found dead from fresh water drowning, wonder if they flew into something like that and with their nostrils on the tops of their beaks got drowned in mid flight?
#1 If you climbed the tree to limb it, why not drop it from the top in sections? #3 Rudolph had it coming!! #7 Done that quite a few times. Extending the garage this summer so I never have to do it again. Al_in_Ottawa
I'm with Rob. Move. I hate winter anyway, though. In this case, there's IMHO no point in getting the ice off the car. If the driveway is that slippery, the roads will be too. No way trying to drive on that will end well. Need to wait until it's bet salted/sanded before even trying, and with neighborhood roads, that'll take a while.
Anony@3:03 If you section it down by 12-24 inch pieces, it takes longer and they can take a Murphy bounce and hit the fence or house. If you rig each piece down, in 2-6 foot pieces (the higher and lighter they are, the longer), it still takes longer. When you've dropped enough trees, it's skill/physics and smarter not harder.
#1: can't speak for him but here in the Idaho forests, I've seen the loggers do some really weird things. I know one guy that will put a stake in the ground and hit it with the falling tree.
Yep. Most of the really good fallers I know in California can do exactly that. They also know the nature of the species of the tree they're falling and can use their experience to get a tree of that particular species to aid them in directing their fall.
Most great fallers live long lives, and you don't live a long life as a faller without being highly intelligent.
I've seen a number of tree felling videos that manage to drop a huge tree in between tight spaces. It's an amazing skill. I wonder though if they can account for a bad bounce when the tree falls?
#1. Great job. Really outstanding.
