the local downhill track had trees fallen across it. since people
normally race down there at 70+ km/h, its pretty dangerous. SO i
cycled there today, and chopped through 3 trunks which were lying
across the path with an axe, then dragged the bits to the side . THey
were about 1meter high, so were impssible to jump, which is why i
chopped them 🙂 Now i feel all warm and glowy inside 😄

an axe? I'm not surprised that your insides are warm and glowy.AJ

All you do is tell one of your "mates" that you've found a really good
load of fire wood. Within an hour your "mate" would have snuck out
with his chainsaw and pinched it. This can work to your benefit if you
need a track cleared.Marty

Moonee Ponds bikepath in West Bruns. As it was dusk, and the front
halogen was flat, I almost got caught in the out stretched branches.
Moved tree, rolled it down the steep grassy bank. Simultaneously, a pair
of roady types hooned past. Didn't stop, didn't even blink, prob didn't
even realise they almost collected the tree & me. Just a belated "thanks
guys" if you're out there somewhere.😉--
