A few days ago there was a mighty wind storm that blew through SLC. Shingles were flying off the roof, branches coming off of trees like missiles and in some cases entire trees came down! What a storm it was, a storm that came with opportunity. The day after the storm one of my friends posted a picture to fb, a tree had fallen in her back yard! Being the good samaritan that I am (and in need of fresh firewood) I asked if I could come over and take the tree. It turned out to be a win-win, she got her backyard back and I got a truck full of firewood! I need to back up a second though, so I can tell you that I didn't have a chainsaw. I wasn't about to tackle an entire tree without one so I went to the Home Depot and snagged a 14 inch electric chainsaw. I was skeptical, such a small saw and electric? Meh, it was fifty bucks so why not give it a try? Holy mother of chainsaw! I was impressed from the very beginning! For such a small (and lightweight) little saw it packed a punch! After using it for 5 hours it was still going strong, I could not believe it. Any ways, it was a great day. I got to have some fun with a new toy, my friend got her yard back, and I got firewood. Today was a very good day.
