your last words will most likely be " hey y'all, watch this!" ??

what the f were you doing up in a tree with a chain saw?!

- i know, you were obviously pruning the tree, but, what the hell were you doing up in a tree with a chain saw?!

This from a guy named lumberjim?

Nope. not it.:confused:

Well, xoxoxoBruce, if you happen to find it let me know! I'd be a little creeped out if someone did attempt the same thing from USF's campus in a similar location.

Very creeped out, actually, but pleased to know there are some other strange people out there who do similar things.

I seriously consider this guy to be one of the most amazing aviation pioneers of our time...

Actually the ladder was leaning against the tree and when I cut off the very large branch the whole thing shifted on me. I was "pruning" because the fucking electric company hacked out & off 30 some trees in and near my back yard.

So not only was I in a tree with a chainsaw, I was in a tree PISSED with a chainsaw (can't remember if there was alcohol involved, but I'm sure there must have been). My wife watched the whole thing, she's seen me do so many stupid things resulting in near death, it doesn't even phase her anymore.

I'm still pissed about the trees.

btw Kitsune, forgot to mention, but those pics were awesomely cool!

I found this project very interesting:
