Good old Jeri, (she works offshore for Shell) I am sure she knows all of the proper procedures. http://www.cowboysnightmare.com One time, when she and her twin sister were living next door to me, they wanted to cut off a limb way up high on a tree in the back yard over there.Jeri's sister went up that ladder with my old electric chainsaw.I loaned them my big heavy duty safety belt that I bought at a pawn shop years ago. Jeri's sister chickened out.Jeri said, Hand me that damn chainsaw! After Jeri cut off that tree limb and came back down, I told her,,, I bet you can't wiggle out of that belt without unbuckling it first.Skinny Jeri wiggled out of that belt. cuhulin |
