Every once in a while I am greeted by a moment
where the first thing that crosses my mind is
"I am going to need to write a post about this."
This morning I had one of those moments.
It started with this:
"What is that?" you might be wondering.
It is Casey's solution to a problem we have had in the backyard
for the last couple months:
A limb that cracked during one of the blizzards this winter
was dangling precariously over an area of
the yard that we walk under regularly.
To reach the offending branch, Casey created this saw-on-a-stick.
The only problem with the contraption was that it ended up
being about 5 feet shorter than it would need to be to reach the branch.
So instead, he decided to climb up the tree and cut it by hand,
a process which took a painfully long time.
But, in the end, the branch came down.
So the lesson learned is when innovation fails you
there is nothing like brute force and a bit of crazy
to solve the problems of the day.
