PAY ATTENTION !!!

I've been a little distracted.  My daughter is getting married in 5 days.  I should be in a sensory deprivation tank, unaware of anything.  But that is not the case.  I need to take care of...stuff.

One of the things that I needed to do was to trim branches over a sun room.  I had access to one of those poles with a trimmer and a pull cord that does a really nice job of chopping off branches.  But it was sticky.  Rats.

So I held it aloft and sprayed the innocuous device with WD-40 to loosen it up.  Of course after you do that, you need to test it, right?

Yank on the cord, cut a limb...when it's not stuck.

Pretty sharp clipper...with mechanical advantage!

Really good that the nail was involved,
or it might have been really deep.
Aren't you glad I spared your the gore?  I need to make sure that I concentrate and am not distracted.

In any case, I pledge that I will go nowhere near a chainsaw until the wedding is over.
