After watching the excellent Chain Saw Massacre IV the other day, I was hit with acute GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome).   Just kiddin’ – I hate splatter movies.  Anyhow,  severe weather the last week had wrecked havoc in our back yard, and this gave me an excuse to head over Home Depot to do some serious shopping.

And for just $129 I got this red beauty.  Can’t beat that !

Now this is what I’m calling a manly-man’s power tool.  

My back is now officially out of commission, but hell, it was worth it.  I had a blast cutting up rather thick branches that the wind had ripped off the old Maples in our back yard.  I actually ended up searching for more stuff to cut down.  Great fun !

And yep – I was humming the old Python classic while I was at it.

I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing
And hang around in bars.

 I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa
