No thoughts before breakfast..

I'm not going to lie to you, I wasn't a huge Within Temptation fan.. I mean I'd heard their music here and there but really didn't pay that close of attention to it.. Then I came across that black night show, the orchestration show.. Changed my mind instantly.. Sharon den Adele is one of the greatest vocalists around.. Such range.. Rivals Tarja Truenen (ex of Nightwish) but more range more like Flood Jensen of Apocolyptica and now the new lead vocalist of Nightwish (hopefully).. That's what I was thinking of last night after watching that concert, I know more about so many more bands from Europe, Scandinavia and Australia than I do from here in America.. Strange how that is.

Monday was D day.. They day I hadn't been looking forward to.. I bought this rope for the idea but didn't think it would work.. a few years back mom bought these saws that have a handle on each end and wrap around the branch to be cut.. I tried one the day we got them and never used one again.. Last year I saw this branch heading towards the house and I thought I'm gonna have to cut it back (this was more like two years ago) but getting up to it would be a trick.. I could have climbed up there way back when I was in high school but now, not so much a good idea.. I bought the rope for this idea but kept putting it off.. Last Friday I email my brother about weather he had one of those pole saw things, a saw at the end of an adjustable length pole, but he replied he didn't have one.. I had looked at one years ago at the local farm supply  store but never thought I'd ever need it.. Well Monday was the day I would try it.. But how to get the rope that high??  Throwing it up that high, not gonna happen plus it would have to have a weight on it.. I got one of those 2 1/2 pound weights and tied the rope to it, and the first try was a close call nearly conking me.. But the second try I took more effort to nail it and got it.. getting the saw tied to it I got the saw up there but it was going sideways.. messing with the ropes (jiggling it   I hate the word jiggle) I got the saw to go teeth side down.. I think it is, lets give it a few whacks.. So I pulled back and forth a few times and then crack the branch started to fall, and then one more pull and the whole lot came crashing down.. Not even an hour after starting the project I was done.. I thought this would take a week of frustrating idea after frustrating idea..  That was weird.. I then cut the rogue aspen trees down and then the tree in the ally that was leaning on the T line.. The only branch that didn't get cut was the one that touches the car as we come in the driveway every day.  That will get cut today or tomorrow or this fall or winter or spring summer fall winter spinsumfalwinspsufawispsufawispsufawi...  Sometime..
