Why I’m Cutting Trees in a Downpour - Video

We’ve had a lot of rain lately, and some of the larger tree branches are sagging under the weight. One in particular was looking like it was going to crack and drop right over the track, so I went out in the downpour to take care of it before it caused a real headache.

I already know the safety committee is going to lose their minds over this one. No safety gear, an electric saw in the rain (which the electrical engineer in me knows is basically not an issue), and just pure situational awareness and experience keeping me intact. But hey, the track is clear, and if anyone wants to donate safety gear for future use, I'll wear it!
