View of the day-Al trying to chop the bus out with the chain saw...he was successful...with no injuries.
Today we decided to do a bit of rearranging in the yard, which isn't really big to begin with so there was some strategic planning to do. We had to plug the big trucks in so they would start...one at a time due to power cord length and then the job of getting the theatre group's school bus out from under the tree.
During one of the big wind storms that occurred while we were gone, a large branch...well actually a third of a tree, broke and fell across the bus. Since the group didn't need it over the course of the summer, it sat until today. The branch hadn't broken anything on the bus, probably because the branches on the hood kept the largest part from snapping off from the main trunk. Al had borrowed his brother's chain saw and before too long had most of the branches removed.*
Once the other grain trucks were started and moved out of the way, the bus was moved to it's new parking spot near the neighbors for a quick exit should it snow a lot. The grain trucks got nestled in beside the camper and after a bit more trimming, we called that part of the job done.
Al had a visit from a friend who wanted to look at some of his farm toys...and purchase a few, of course. His 14 year old son came out with him and discovered the Wii, so Marilyn got to watch an expert at guitar hero and baseball give her a few pointers...practice, practice, practice.
All the fresh air should make for a good nights sleep...
