Yesterday was warm, humid and breezy... not what I would call overly windy, just breezy.
I'd just finished a bit of grass cuttin' and the boy was buzzin' around on his little Chinese ATV... makin' loops around the big forked oak behind the machine shed. So his ATV starts sputterin' (runnin' out'a gas); he's learned what that means and heads for the shop doors for a refill. As I'm pourin' gas in the thing when I hear a loud crack, look back at the big forked oak, and...
Less than a minute before the boy was riding under it... less than 15 minutes before I was mowing under it...
The worst part is... the damn thing landed on my shooting bench‼
It's raining this morning... but when it stops I know what I'll be doing...
