And found a whole #$%@%% tree laying where my cycle shed used to sit. Here's the crazy part ... it hit NOTHING!!!
Normally I would have had my cb550, cb450, and Tiger all sitting in there along with my lawn mower. It started sleeting on Tuesday and I was absolutely KICKING myself for not getting my toys put away yet. The Tiger was parked in the driveway with a cover just like my mower. Am I one lucky SOB or what ...

The Tiger would have been sitting RIGHT where the tree came in. You can see it missed that 550 by about 3 feet and it stopped just inches above that power washer. I mean NOTHING else was in it's way.

They're decent ... but um .. my ability to drive this heap to the recycling place is much better ....
I would really enjoy putting that on the fire, looking forward to seeing the CB getting the cafe treatment.
Good save!
Nice one, sometimes luck is on your side.
With that amount of luck used up,you'll not be winning the lottery this week :D
that trunk would keep my woodburner in logs a while :)
That tree/log does not look very healty, with lots of fungi on it.
You should cut down those old rotten trees before they come down on you by themselves :roll:

Agree but unfortunately it wasn't my tree. It was on the OTHER side of the holler on the neighbors property. I have two large ravines on either side of my house and am surrounded by woods.
He's just sick about it but no harm no foul. We'll rebuild the shed together in the spring ....
