But about 3 years ago I went to the parents house with my sis
only to find out that we were going to pick out a tree for the 'Rents
and one for sis and a friend so we pile into the 4x4 and up to the
woods we go, find a nice spot to park and start looking out for
a tree or two well as luck would have it we found all three in about a
hundred feet or so well I'm marking out Mom's and Dad's tree
when I yell to my Dad bring a saw and we will be done and home
for lunch! well Dad hollers back there in a second. I have my back
to my Fathers approch and I'm talking to the sis not watching Dad
when right behind me BRACKKKKKK I jump and about wet myself
the sis is dying laughing at me as my Dad uses A CHAINSAW
to take down this poor little tree, I'm like Uh dad just a handsaw
would have worked I mean this is a nice tree and all, but it's only
6 inches through and all I could have sawed it down in a short while
my Dad is like well yeah but the hand saw is in the bottom of the
toolbox and I did not feel like digging it up besieds I'm too
old to be running around in the snow with a hand saw chopping
down trees this way is faster. I still can not convince him that
it was overkill .
