A few weeks ago Al, Tony and I dropped a giant walnut tree in our yard. Al and Tony are interested in the walnut lumber from said tree. We loaded a couple of smaller logs that day. Today we took on the task of loading the butt of the tree that measured at least 30 inches and was 8 feet long. Any guesses what that might weigh? Here we are preparing for the load. We thought of the ancient Egyptians and their pyramids and all the things we had learned in school about simple machines. We also added neighbor Steve due to the trouble we had loading the previous logs.
We were able to get them on the trailer. No injuries occurred and lots of fun was had by all. It was good to add the fourth man for this operation. It was also good the ground was still frozen so the truck and trailer did not get stuck. That patch of white you see near the tree is the snow remaining from Tuesday's eight-incher.
Mission accomplished in a little over an hour! From left to right, Tony, Steve and Al. Imagine this tree made into some fine furniture.
