I ended up cutting down a dead tree in my Front Yard this time. It was a beautiful sight to watch this tree finally fall and shatter on the road. The Slo-Mo is event better and you get to see the mechanics of the tree braking and twisting away from the hinge. It was a successful cut and we had a lot of fun cutting it down. Anywhooooo........., here is that story.
