Did you ever just seem to be having one of those days where you either need to be in a padded room or a bubble? So here I am now sitting wondering why I even got out of bed this morning. This is how all this started. Yesterday we had a quick but rather hard storm come through here. When I got home I looked out in the back yard to see this enormous limb from the very large Elm tree laying on my garden shed and going quite a ways across the yard. At the limbs thickest point it is about 8” around and is probably 30’ long. Well the real problem for me is that it is blocking the way to the shop!
So I decide this wont do so I take a vacation day to stay home and get it cut up. The chainsaw is in the shed and when I open the door I find that I have a nice new skylight in the shed. Apparently the branch fell on the roof first and punched a 2’X2’ hole in it. Ok, so I get the chainsaw out and start on the limb but what I did not see is the large red wasp nest that is on the soffet of the shed. I felt something touch my ankle and I looked down just in time to see a bunch of wasps at my legs and one lanced me in the ankle! As I jumped back I hit a sharp branch with the other leg and sliced it open! Chainsaw went one way I went the other and now I am sulking sitting here with meat tenderizer on one leg and placing a large bandage on the other.
Anyhow, thanks for letting me whine!
