Today is the day when they prune the olive trees outside my window.

The trees are 20'-25' tall and in year's past, that meant climbing
into the trees to prune them.

This year a new toy for the tree trimmers.

A baby chain saw with maybe 12"-15" cutting length attached to an
aluminum tube maybe 12'-15' ft long which is next connected to the gas
engine and the controls.

All most all the pruning is done from the ground.


They are great tools. I own one and it is so much better than climbing up a
ladder with a chainsaw.
