This tree was cut into boards by Fred, one of our neighbors-down-the-road. I acquired them from Fred and drove them home hanging out the back of the Blueberry (Chevy Tahoe). I will use them for some project. It was raining a lot.
Here is the pile of ex-tree, somewhat blurry.
Meanwhile, Arthur and I ended a week-long saga of trying to get the boat out of the water, finally with success, helped by another neighbor, Brant (the new owner of the house-that-burned-down, next door, up visiting his property briefly). We had several different mechanical problems on trying to pull the boat out. Monday we had wheels that wouldn’t turn. Thursday we fixed the wheels, but then on Friday, we had problems with too much wind, and a broken tie-down rope. I fixed the tie-down ropes this morning, and we got it out, with an extra pair of eyes/hands to make sure things went right.
