I sawed down the dead peach tree and the other peach tree which was 90% dead. I also sawed down the cherry tree which only had one living branch. It's truck was be speckled with curly spaghetti gout's of sap. It was clearly diseased. I took it out in the hopes that the other cherry tree wouldn't get whatever the diseased one had. I will plant rose bushes in the fall. Pink ones, coral ones. Not red ones, don't care for them.
Did experience some problems. The chainsaw popped apart and the chain came off ! I called up the brother-in-law for advice. What I wanted was for him to tell how they were put together, so I could get it going again. Instead, and impatiently he made plans to come over and finish the job. Surprised, I agreed. But I still wanted to do it my self. I went on line and found a online article on putting the chain on, and adjusting the chain. I realized I didn't have all the parts. I fished around in the saw dust and found the nut. Put the chain back on. Pulled the blade out and screwed it together. I am missing what every is between the tension screw and the nipple hole/ screw top looking thing. But it worked long enough to get the trees down and chopped up in long lenghts. Now the chain seems stretched and I can't get it to stay on. I tossed the wood over the side wall into the back yard.
I'm planning on ordering a fire pit from Walmark and burning it all in the autumn. The wood will have to chopped into way smaller lenghts to fit in the pit. But, I suspect, that Goosie and Jilly will enjoy the process as we all sit around the pit and enjoy the warmth.

Applied for a job with Westcliff Labs as a courier. I even wrote a cover letter.We will see what will happen. It's full time. I most likely would have to use my own car. But it says salary depends on experience, so it would be more then minimum wage.
