When a big tree falls across the road, Andy paces himself and clears it off over several days. He took these pictures after the first day.
He first saws off all the branches and throws them to the side of the road.
Then he saws the trunk into rounds and rolls them down the side of the hill.
He says he’s slowing down, he cuts the rounds a lot shorter than he did twenty years ago. I say you’ll never catch me doing that when I’m 83!

Whoa!
I’m lucky if I can cut off all the branches
And then I really feel it the next day!
But I’m sure that’s why he’s able to do that at 83.
He keeps active and fit.
I wouldn’t say he’s slowing down
but just working smart. 😉
He’s just so cool!
🙂
I think he’s cool, too! 😀
wow. Cindy’s right.
but good lord.
what a man you’ve got! lucky lady! XO
I’ll keep him as long as I can. 😀
definitely agree with Cindi and tammy…sure to be others who agree as well
I pick away at things too in the garden, but then again not with a chain saw and nothing like those “rounds”
I don’t even do as much as you do. 🙂
You won’t catch me doing all that now, leave alone when I am 83! Remarkable man Andy is and I doff my topi to him.
Thank you. I will tell him that. 🙂
Bravo Andy! I like the labor saving strategies, like planning every move, and cutting the rounds shorter! A common sense approach…
Yes, doing the best we can with what we have left. 🙂
Andy must be amazingly fit with all that strenuous physical activity. Most of us are shamefully sedentary. I was just reading of a 68 year old man who climbs the Old Man of Coniston in the Lake District at least once a day!
He’s been having trouble with his back and now his hip, but he’s still hanging in there.
