Slayed The Dragon
Posted by Sean on April 25, 2009
Meet the Dragon:
This was the result of cutting down limb, branches, twigs from some of the trees surrounding our house. It’s hard to understand and appreciate the magnitude of this pile. I should have had my wife or someone stand next to it.
Meet Our Weapon of Choice:
This was the wood chipper we rented from a local rental company. We had this baby for 4 hrs (that was the agreed upon rental-contingent price). So we had to ‘kick -it-into-high-gear’ for 4hrs to utilize our weapon.
We slayed the beast in less than 2 hrs with the help of our neighbor and his trusty chainsaw.
He offered us some additional manual labor if he could ‘utilize’ the weapon for other trees and branches he’s been wanting to eliminate. It was a win-win situation.
An hour later here is where the ‘chips’ fell.
Beast Be-Gone
I had plans of visiting the gym for my workout training session. After re-evaluating my afternoon activity and listening to what my body was telling me post dragon slaying. My dragon slaying served as a very good training session. All the elements of some great training: total body movement, heavy lifting, stretching, high intensity interval training (a lot of hurry-up stop-and-go action).
I think I might have a revolutionary new workout on my hands. What do you think?
Carpe Diem
