@ebinmaine, @PeacemakerJack @dells68, @shallowwatersailor, @elcamino/wheelhorse and the rest of RS, Since I'm off for the holidays I was trying to get a bunch of things caught up around the house like removing the broken and damaged trees from the ice storm here last month. Anyways today after a pretty uneventful past few days I had a "small" mishap sawing a 8-10" diameter "leaning" wild cherry tree had notched it with the lean go around to finish felling it as I was cut it decides to split before I was half through with that final cut, I started to back out when I seen what was happening but those damn wild grape vines ivy and creeper caught my heel and arm as the tree split and caught me striking me in the left side of head and shoulder, then pinning my right ankle to where I could not move, dummy me called my wife instead of 911 where she called them , then her parents and brother, my in-laws showed up before the squad did, FIL just had a partial lung removed last month so he was still healing but BIL lifted it off my ankle as the squad arrived, they checked my vitals other than elevated BP I was declared ok, I am sore especially my left shoulder and noggin with a few scratches and scrapes I feel ok for now, SO REMEMBER BE CAREFUL WHEN CUTTING TREES whether damaged or otherwise, Jeff. (Here's the picture I took while waiting to be rescued)
