The way you keep digging up your land, it reminds me of "God's Little Acre"
40, actually. Which means I can do my thing far enough away from the house to be less annoying than if I were right in the back yard. :)
I really think you need to get a new hobby, something a little less disruptive, or you can keep digging new tributaries, and set up your own "Deliverance" fun park.
My daughter has become as much of a Flecktones fan as I, but I don't think I'm gonna get her to pick up the banjo and play it on the front porch.
Hmmm... Just occurred to me that in about 5 years of not having to look "professional", my beard and hair have gotten to a state that would probably make Ned Beatty shudder visibly if he saw me.
We had a some scrub pine trees fall in our back yard the year before last during an ice storm, so I've heard the cracking sound. The trees were very tall, and very close to our house.
It was not a very pleasant sound to hear when the electricity was out, along with the heat.
Exactly!
I first heard them when I was at the workshop trying to get the one "running" generator to do the "running" thing (to no avail).
These were mostly oaks, walnuts, maples, and sycamores. Big hard-wood trees. Since they can't bend as much under the weight, they just break. Although it takes a lot of weight for that to happen. When they'd snap, it'd sound like a shotgun going off nearby. And when they'd crash down, sometimes you could hear them taking out several other trees at the same time. |
