It won't, it's a completely separate policy... and getting to be an expensive one. My premium jumped 500% this year.

So. Fucking. Jealous. Right. Now.

Some of you may remember when I posted pics of the huge limb of a Douglas fir fell on our house.
It was one limb of a "candelabra" that grew out at the top after a storm.

Well, 2 evenings ago I was standing in the driveway, and heard a "crack".
Then another "crack".
The a much louder "CRACK CRACK"

I didn't even look up, but started running to get to the protection of the porch.
Just as I reached the first step, slipped and fell, the sister to the first limb hit the ground.
I knew I wasn't hurt, but scared beyond anything in my life before.

It's taken a couple of days to clean up and cut off the sections so far.
The butt end of the limb on the ground is about 3 ft in diameter,
and the sawed end now is at 16 inches.

As the situation is now, I think it could not have landed in a better place,
and with what is remaining at the top of the tree will probably go
on to reach new heights.

Hope,
Hope,
Hope...

Today a tree service company removed the "widow-makers" left on the trunk.
We now have a new living sculpture on the property.

Oh, and the plastic bag on the bicycle seat is because you've be riding around the neighborhood naked again, isn't it.

Congrats on the new place fargon/keryx, it looks so nice. The back yard is brilliant.

Yea, but does that mean you have to get their permission to paint or make any changes to the outside.

Nope. They're not that organized here.

Yet! If they form a local historical commission/committee, be sure to get on it.

Not bad at all Fargon. Most excellent.
