Life on the farm - the part you don't want to experience

New toy for me
Loading up the back
Hey, can you cut them shorter
Even one of these can cause some unwanted pain
Tried out a new piece of machinery... John Deere with four wheel drive... lovely thing to operate.

I only wish I could invoke the rule that the driver only drives and does not help with the loading. But, I guess humping the logs onto the forks, dodging the falling trees and being wary of the wildlife is all part of the fun (spiders big enough to carry you away I tell ya).

My buddy dropped some trees while I took the tops and threw on a brush pile. Normally all I hear is the chain saw ripping into the trees. Thought I could hear a high pitched buzz, much like a Motocross bike whipping along the road. Chainsaw stops and this buzzing sound got real loud. I look towards the sound and as my focus changes, I notice all these yellow jackets filling the airspace. I yell out to my buddy, he grabs the chainsaw and we both run for cover. Fortunately, these little divebombers decide to focus on the brush pile. Needless to say, I didn't stop for a picture of this afternoon of infamy.

Exit stage left and we refocus our efforts at the other end of the clearing. Now I know why the driver is not supposed to help load but stay in the cab...

P.S. Supplied picture approximates what I saw, only difference - there were a million of these suckers flying around
