I need to do a little of that. And clear the winter deadfall before the first cutting.

Over many years I've become very fond of horses. They can be comedians and playful despite their size. They seem to exude a certain energy which is why some of us like to be around them and of course they like to be around people. It has been a partnership lasting between 5000 and 10,000 years and maybe more. A very good friend of mine was a quarter horse mix with a John Deere tractor. Which is to say he was not a beautiful animal on the outside but inside he was a prince. He was sweet and affectionate and named Chochise but his friends called him Coach.The video link is to two German girls having a day out with their horse, also a sweet animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJyT6Qg3ANU
Our John Deere was easily the worst of the three; it's been retired. The two Fords are older than anyone on this forum and still going strong.
The JD was definitely lower-spec, but still. It was a good 30 years younger and absolutely gutless.

Comparing the film to the play, English Professor James M. Welsh felt using real horses in the film was understandable, but argued the outdoor scenes infringed on the "abstract theatrical design" that gave the play its creativity.[8] Welsh also felt the explicit blinding was "potentially repulsive," and "much of the spirit of the play is lost as a consequence."

I spent a few years working in small printed circuit board factories. Part of my job was cutting them to size using a pin router, which would send fiberglass dust airborne. Everything in the room would be covered with it, including me. I would itch like crazy and I finally quit the business when I coughed up blood. Docs say I have asthma and COPD, maybe partly due to that.

Mrs. Pirkaus is an excellent cook, we often cook together. I enjoy cooking and eating, another reason I'm too fat for this sport.

I did a similar job back in the early 80s, but we had a central vac system so there was no dust problem. Rough cutting, finish with a router, size the rails, and bevel the fingers, a lot of hand work with templates. About a year before the crash, we got a CNC router which was awesome, and doubled production.
