Took a day off and headed for the woods October 28, 2010 There were only a few hours of work to do to finish a major outdoor project (a house I have been painting) and the temperature was predicted to reach a high of seventy-five. I took off to the woods for a little fishing and a bit of woodcutting. I pulled in a couple of bluegill sunfish like this one (underwater, still on my line)... 
...which I let go. Then I left for another pond, where I had left, last Sunday, the trunk of a fallen pine self-cantilevered from its roots. This is the end of the trunk: 
The very green and sappy trunk hung across a vicious thornbush of some kind; I had to lay down a piece of plywood to get decent footing so that, in case of something untoward happening with the electric chainsaw, I could avoid cutting off any human limbs. (I generally take care to discriminate between animal and vegetable when using power tools.)
I left a slice by the roots, but most I piled for later disposal.
