Giving thanks nobody was hurt. Had rented a dozer to clear wooded property. The dead trees scared me the most . I had a buddy cut those down while I pushed out the stumps. He had to leave and later on I came face to face with an old oak that was very tall dead and straight.

Needless to say i needed to change my pants after that!!
