Stupid Tree Reached Down And Bit My Deuce

[FarmerRob]

The truck bit back but now I have hours and hours of metal work to get everything straight again.
Having the extra space inside the back with the custom uprights and bows was nice but now the drawbacks have become apparent. The worst part is that I drove under the exact same tree 12 hours earlier without so much as a twig brushing the canvas.

Its a Live Oak tree that hates trucks, cars, houses & R/C planes, quadrotors & helicopters! You extracted a piece of flesh (wood) from it, but it did siginificant damage to your pride & truck. Make firewood out of what you got & eye the rest for more firewood next winter! Sorry for your tree thrashing!

YEP, you have to look out for those mobile attack trees

I hope you burned that tree then pissed in the ashes afterwards.

That does suck.

 

[FarmerRob]

It will be burned this winter after it has seasoned. For now, my landlord's goat herd will be picking it over to get all the green bits.

The aftermath...

 

[Jeepsinker]

Now get the chainsaw and go after what is still standing.

 

[Hitman]

it makes nice BBQ woood for smoking. so go kill a deera and smoke a way.

 

[FarmerRob]

I would go after the rest of it but it's not my tree. And besides that, good trees are few and far between out here so it would be a shame to kill one just for spite. I will definitely enjoy the pieces of it that I have, though.

I'm now looking at a few trees that I pass under with suspicion. May need to do some preventative chain sawing to make sure they behave.

I had my M105 trailer parked under some oak trees for a while. Shortly after I moved it a branch about twice that size fell off one of the trees and landed right where it was. It also knocked another large branch off when it fell so that could have been bad! I never trusted these trees before now I trust them even less. They're especially bad about it during hot weather and give no warning something is about to give. Just SNAP and off it goes. Be careful where you park your vehicles!

Just be thankful it didn't take out your cab ! You have to be very wary of those kamikaze Trees ! Death from above !

 

[Flyingvan911]

Ouch.

 

[RAYZER]

When it rains, those branches hang lower!

 

[porkysplace]

That's a rough way to collect firewood.

You need to cut the tree up and go after a few others to set an example for all the trees in the area.
