What I did on my summer vacation

I think this has probably been the most I have ever worked on one of my vacations. Something new almost every day.

Yesterday the crew from Maine Public Service came to cut down trees from the front of Knucklehead's mother's house. I have included a before and after picture. There were two maples, a birch, and a spruce. They'd been there about 35 years and had grown into the power and utility lines. And his mother had become nervous about them being over the house.

Knucklehead had contacted the utility about two months ago to have them removed but due to the storms up here they have not been able to schedule it. They have had at least one tornado plus tremendous amounts of rain and thunder storms. Fortunately the guy responded to a request to do it while we were still here. Knucklehead has arranged for a tree service to remove some additional trees and to clean up the "treemains". Unfortunately, due to the storms, they are also backed up. Alas...

Today is the last day we are here and there are still things he needs to do. Let's hope he can finish before he leaves tomorrow!

For Knucklehead, this is DucKie reporting from Presque Isle, Maine, the Star City of the Northeast.
