frankly, I'm terrified of chainsaws...

low vision, plus weak-as-a-kitten hands is part of it...

the rest is probably due to hearing of accidents when I lived in woodstove country (rural snowy Northern California) and developed an allergy to chainsaws.

oh, and that movie I saw as a teen, about some deranged person in Texas...



then again, I've never dug a ditch, or driven a canoe either...



but the IMPORTANT thing is, YOU did it, and you had FUN, and learned something new... for which I am proud of you, Melody.

you GO, girl !!
