Here's Alex on his inaugural ride in the bike trailer. You can't really see him or tell there's anything but a helmet in the back but he didn't cry so it couldn't have been all that bad.
The tree had already been cut almost all the way through and just needed to be felled. This was the most fun way to do so--and it didn't land on my truck or end up bonking someone or whatever America's Funniest Videos would have paid for. Oh well. Still fun.
