as i walk outside the sun beat down.. fuck its hot out.. i look down at the paper in my hand and read the list..

1.Replace laundry line outside so they can hang laundry outside.... ok
2. Dump kiddy pool and refill for later ... sounds easy enough
3. Cut down the 2 maple tree's leaning on the garage... fucking hell..
4. Cut backyard grass this time.... bloody hell .. the green menace..

I proceed with #'s 1 and 2 on the list... take down the old laundry line that is about 15-20ft long .. get rid of the old line .. restring up a new line .. took about 10min to do .. not to bad.. next up .. the little 3yr olds pool .. its not a big pool.. one of those small plastic pieces of crap from walmart.. i grab it by one end... liiiiiiiiiift ... water pours out .. put back on the ground .. place hose in the pool and fill it .. no problem .. time wasted .. 3 - 4min ..

i head to the garage and take hold of a mighty toothed weapon of great power and even greater danger.. it goes by the name "chainsaw" .. weird name for such a beast .. i make my way outside and stare down my foes .. 2 maple trees ... about 25 - 30ft tall .. i choose to take down the smaller of the 2 in hopes it would be easy.. i was wrong..

I began to cut into the flesh of the first of 2 foes.. bits and pieces flew everywhere.. as i ended the cut, i watched as the tree screamed in terror and fell to the ground but it had a hidden attack for me .. the second tree, seeing his brother fall .. let loose with a barrage of dead branches.. i was struck twice... one on my left shoulder and the other on my head .. taking a few minutes to recover from the surprise attack, i was in a rage.. i grabbed the chainsaw and i cut the felled tree into pieces and the other watched in horror.. once done.. i then with no forgivness, turned to the other tree and cut it down and chopped it into many pieces.... after piling the wood.. i headed to the house to let the family know that the task was done...

walking into the house, the fathers woman and the step-sister were horrified.. blood had soaked into the shirt where i had been struck earlier on my shoulder .. i pulled my sleave up and to my surprise.. i have indeed been bleeding from 3 small cuts on a fair sized bruise .. i then explained to them what had happened.. they inquired about my head.. i said i dont know.. i then removed my hat only to see the look of horror on their faces... seems my hat stopped the blood from running down.. after washing up, i indeed was hit harder than i thought.. i had a pretty good gash on the top right side of my head..

After sitting down for awhile i decided to take my leave and head home.. my day was done.. as i was walking.. i pondered what tomorrow will bring.. i thought of only one thing.. the green menace .. that in itself is another story yet to be written.. tomorrow is another day...
