Chainsaw Repair

Back 20 years ago I had a cool Chevy S10 pick up lowered all around and all blacked out with a Chevy 350 and THM350.

As I was walking out to it from work and got right up close to the passenger side, the whole passenger side rear view mirror fell off into the parking lot.

A new one cost $50.

If I had not seen the mirror just fall off on its own, I would have been really PO'd that someone had broken my mirror off?

Neighbor 4 or 5 houses south of me had his two sons holding a rope to pull a tree over away from the powerline when he was cutting the tree. Needless to say the power went out for about 3 hrs.

My oldest step son cut down a tree over his garage some 10 years ago but don't know the details.

I pull on the tree until all four wheels spin while in low range and 1st gear right after the notch is cut.

I watch in the mirror and feel. When the tree starts to go from the back cut and the rope gets the least slack I'm hell bent till I see in the mirror that the tree is falling correctly.

I'm afraid to pull too much while he's cutting for I may cause a barber chair situation.

No tension on the rope and obviously no notch or proper back cut, the only thing that tree could not do was fall away from the truck.  Looks like she will get her new kitchen.
