Oh man, I am not looking forward to this winter and her storms. Sorry you have to fire up the chainsaw so early in the season.

The tree turned out to be no big deal. It fell right on the driveway, rather than the opposite direction onto the power line. Our power is still off, but at least we don't have a live wire in our yard.

My neighbor came by and cleared enough so that we can drive around it. He had it done before I even finished a cup of coffee.

The more troublesome issue was the septic system backing up into the basement. I sure wish they had put in the basement floor 6" higher so that it would be above the clean out port in the yard.

Living in the country and not having a water/sewer bill is nice until something like this happens.

A little extra firewood for next year, if it dries out enough, or maybe a set of Michael Jenga Blocks, you could sell them at the bar next year, after the wood cures a bit and is cuttable. Or a bunch of Michael Memorial Wooden Nickels.

At least you are home and safe for now.

I will see if there is anything worth cutting for furniture in a few hours when the sun comes up. Most of it will probably end up as firewood.

Michael had quite the tantrum here today.

What I really enjoyed was half the stop lights being out on the drive home from work and people ignoring that the intersections with no lights were supposed to be treated as 4-way stops.

aaarrrggghhh 😃

Sounds like driving in a third world country.
