Not quite but I did think about taking the boat for a spin around the neighborhood.

Neighbor lost a big pine in my back yard. Spent the morrning cutting it up. The lady is 77 years old. My good deed for the day.

I did enough of that from Isabel. Cut a Gum tree that was over 280 years old. It was so big that the saw we were useing would not cut the middle cutting on both sides. Saw had a 24" bar on it. Snatched on it a few times with a D6 Caterpillar before it snapped off. The limbs were the size of regular trees. We cut all the limbs to liten it up and pushed them to the woods. then hooked to the main trunk. We had to use the winch on the dozer while the dozer was in gear pulling to move the thing. even broke the 1 1/2 cable a couple times pulling it. All together we had over 200 trees to push and cut out of the field and 30 in my back yard and another 20 in my Dad's yard. Took 6 weeks. If someone told me that I could never look at another tree as long as I live, it wouldn't bother me a bit. CF
