Her Majesty had regular (monthly I think) meetings with the UK Prime Minister (i.e. the head of the UK government) and you can't tell me those meetings were to discuss the corgis.

Charles has strayed occasionally into political territory, but usually on matters of the environment.

I think Charles has "strayed" more than once.
If things were different Diana would be Queen Consort now......

This dude is NUTS.

I had one big branch in one tree that he took out. The guy climbed the tree about 30 feet with a running chain saw on a rope....then cut it in multiple sections to drop it.....he just dropped the 50 footer dead center in the middle of the street. Here comes the challenge, fitting it on the trailer and also has another small tree to and one more palm to trim..

Lets add to the excitement...........it is now raining...........

Technically, Diana would have the title Queen.

Camilla, because of complications over being a divorcee and the spectre of Diana was only given the lesser title.

The dude put all of the branches and such into the trailer, then jumped on top of them and cut them into real small pieces with his chain saw....the main part of tree he has cut in about 2 foot sections. There is plenty of room for them as they will compress all the other crap.

Lesson Learned...don't try this yourself.....money well spent, plus entertainment........when he started climbing the tree with the running chain saw, my wife couldn't watch anymore...................

Second small tree is now down, and being cut into smetherinze.

I wondered what consort meant. Thanks for the lesson

When I did my fire brigade chainsaw training, that was one of the things that surprised me.

Always start the saw on flat ground, then with the chain brake on, haul it up to the work.

If you stalled it up the tree or on the roof, you climbed down to restart it on the flat ground again. Apparently, that is the safest way

I was never convinced but that's how I still do it

The guy is nuts....he told me yesterday, "I love trees, I love climbing trees, I love cutting trees"....He told me the story of falling out of one about 5 years ago and was out of work for 8 months.. He said he missed climbing tree's and couldn't wait to get back at it.......

I arrived at the ramp before my friend and starting prepping the boat when I found out that I never locked the trailer down, or plugged in the lights or hooked up the safety chains. In 45 years of towing, this is the first time I forgot to do that.

Me thinks you have a lot on your mind these days

Good evening folks.

Busy day at work catching up from vacation. Glad tomorrow is Friday.

too dark out for a photo...

the dude wins......fit it all with room to spare....
