Windstorm ...

Yesterday afternoon's windstorm was like a Reminder string around one's finger...

A reminder?
Yup.

A maple tree, at parking lot edge, lost a big branch in the storm

More on the reminder part later...

OK, the reminder part:
Some months ago, we had sawed about one-third of that large branch (look closely at first photo, above).  The saw quit and we left the job "for another day". 

Well, then we both got busy with other spring projects and, even when the saw repair had been completed, didn't get back to removing that branch.  We simply forgot about it!  We're amazed that we BOTH forgot about that partially-sawn branch.

So yesterday when the storm arrived, fortunately golfers--and parked cars--were few (folks having obviously seen the black clouds on the horizon) when the branch CRASHED down onto the pavement.

Whew...the only liability was our bruised egos.
