Chainsaw Training...

Whenever a guy sees one of these machines sitting around, you know what will happen. A tree must come down!

This is the offending tree, a eucalyptus. It had to come down, and we were the right men for the job.

Here I am trying to explain something to Billy, on the far right, while Martin is thinking, "That will never work."

I wanted to take a picture of my tree spurs, because it was my first time trying to climb with them. I was so nervous, I put the left leg on backwards with the spike on the outside. Fortunately, no one noticed. It took me two attempts to get up to that branch.
