| Will post pics later once download, otherwise rented a Local Lumber Yard Man Lift Trailer style, safety lock out switches on everything. Enough for what did here, managed to raise canopy grown in with some spots under 10' to over 14'; the length of drive and pushed back the searching for sunlight growth beyond the mowed lines. Forgot to count, but either eight, maybe nine repositions, required a Unpin/Repin at each reset. Most stuff under 4" diameter just lots of it. Took out a couple Elms and other garbage variety smallish trees. Started at 8, finish at 2:30. Yard has a Sunday Drop Off point so only Two Day rented. |

i have never used one... brother in law rented one every 3-4 times with 40 ft boom to trim trees around the yard......... looked more like a forest... Kept the branches off the house , driveway, sunlight for yard.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| All can say is better than ladder for function. Very problematic machine and sensitive to over sensitive safety switch triggers. Next round likely to try for a self propelled Man Lift as the JLG Line of machines where used those at the Nuke. |

That is when the Fun Ended, as of yesterday Left Eyelids started swelling from outer eye corner, figured MAYBE got into some Poison Ivy or some other nasty with the chain saw as Forearms are also itchy. Treated with Cortizone 10 and took Benadryl as went to bed. As expected worse, IS Worse this morning. Most Likely allergic reaction Conjunctivitis or PINK EYE. Could be Bacterial or Viral but as not been around anyone or anything that had it, doubt it. Also lost a lower Tooth 'Head', was a crown and been root canaled but broke off the base of the tooth and left the two roots, lower right small molar second from front teeth. This Week/Month/Year is NOT starting off very well!!

| Per NP I see, NOT Pink Eye, just a Conjunctival Edema from Poison Something, Eyes are Clear, No indication of corruption drainage, she noted blisters around the eyes. Back to Zpack Prednisone. |

Got any jewel weed, in your part of the country? It grows in bottom land, has an orange flower and a self ejecting seed pod. Makes a pretty good poltrice to put on PI, you crush the fleshy stems, add a little water, cover and set in the sun for a couple hours, takes the itch away pretty quick... https://youtu.be/v5TYnQ_Yy2g?si=XpAHqc_1c2UXPT8Y" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/v5TYnQ_Yy2g?si=XpAHqc_1c2UXPT8Y ------------- Source: Babylon Bee.

Third day Prednisone and already swelling dissipating, itch is still ever present where have to make effort to NOT scratch at the sites. Eyes still clear and no Oozing. Nurse Practitioner 'Doc' actually called last night to see if responding. Thanked her for that as not been done for quite a while to myself. Still resorting to Cortizone10 cream for spots that itch terribly, she noted that Stinging Nettle and Cedar Allergic reactions will be less affected by the Prednisone. She elaborated on the current expanding Cedar Allergic Reactivity here, seems to be increasing each year where humans been cutting pruning them forever. Uncertain that reason.
