It was a beautiful day here, we saw mid to upper 80s most of the afternoon. Tuesday the crappy weather is supposed to be here. (60s for the high and lots of rain)

You can borrow my chainsaw Ric. Unlike Tony's it's not a good one so I don't mind lending it out.

Thanks Hank, I took my regular saw over there but just ended up hooking it to the truck and yanking it off the road and cut some of the big parts and threw them in the ditch and will deal with it later.. She is still with out power so I'm driving out there 3 times a day to check on generator and fill it. She won't stay with any of us because she is stubborn and 78 years old and set in her ways. The house is 4000 sq ft and my dad passed in 2008 and she won't leave so I'm the one that has to maintain it for this kind of things and it is getting old. Both of my brothers live out of state so they can't help that much.

My mom lived about 50 miles from us, fortunately she was in a condo so not that much to do but still the occasional stuff.

If you need the chainsaw or some help, give me a call. I have a pretty busy schedule with this retirement thing going on but I can lend you a hand. Seriously, if you need some help or a chainsaw or both give me a call.

Thanks again Hank, I just got home from going up there and when I got there I noticed the street lights were on and that told me power was back on and I switch from generator and all is good for the time being. My son that lives in Grand Rapids said he will bring his chain saw over and on Thursday we will go over and cut it up and he will take the wood back with him so that will be good. My car temp said it was 1 degree. Merry Christmas
