Going back home has always given me a venue for an entirely new set of backyard projects, including recently converting the back deck into a ninja warrior obstacle course. I've long been a big fan of the tv show, and making my own course has been a fun way of getting in shape while building more crazy stuff. Here's the classic salmon ladder:
With the day after Christmas an unusually warm 55 degrees, it was nice being able to still work outside in the yard. I ended up not getting much done on the course, and instead cleared up the yard by chopping down some trees. I like the workout, and after a long semester, it was good to vent and blow off some steam.
Of course I managed to drop it the wrong direction, adding some excitement to the day. The tree fell right on top of a few smaller trees and hung up in the air...
Daddio went in to assess the situation, but the big tree was perfectly wedged between three smaller trees and wouldn't be shaken loose...
It made quite a mess, but also made for a fun afternoon and a ton of firewood...assuming the winter ever comes sometime in the near future.
