Five months of no rain now five days of nothing but.
Getting cabin fever here - not that I don't love my woman, but......
The Pedernales (pr: Purdnalis) River is due north of my front porch. It's usually three feet deep and ten feet wide - this morning, as it's been the last couple days, it's 4/10ths a mile wide and thirty feet deep, runnin' around ten to fifteen mph. Seeing many giant pecans and sycamore trees floatin' by. Lost one of my three wonderful dogs, the youngest and dumbest. Miss him greatly.
Spent two days ago helpin' clean-up Luckenbach, now I can't leave home 'cause the mile of road has moved somewhere else. I'm 4-wheel drive but with nothing to drive on, might as well swim.
You guys in Seattle? - I know moss grows when air is water but when you get days of nothing but, what do you do? I could sharpen all my chains I guess, tune-up some gear too but the thought of that puppy helplessly floating away.....
Oh well, melancholic moments. I have plenty of storm damage out there once I can get there. The oak trunks turn green with blooming moss after so much moisture, very hard to climb safely with thoughts concentrating on knots, saws, and drops. It's going to be a few days after all this before tree work again, I'll get fat and soft in the interim - work slower, feel sorer.
Bored, restless, and sad. Just maybe I should add that this site and all you tree dudes are helpin' me get through the day(s). Detected a bit of a spat between a couple of ya last couple days but on the long road, ya'll are a ???? fine bunch of humans. Thanks.
