A Yard-full Of Trucks

It was right at 7 a.m. when I heard a truck pull into the driveway, followed by another, and another. Usually it is not a good sign when the white rigs of the power company show up with this show of force. I was almost hesitant to go out and greet the group.
There were two boom trucks with their wood chippers attached, two full sized pickups, one commander vehicle and one supervisor truck.
The chippers were unhooked and propped in the driveway and each boom truck dropped a load of fresh chips onto the pile. Hooray, I thought, this really is going to be a good day! Then the guys said that the trucks will all be staying around a while, parked this way and that, so they could clear out the power line behind the bull pen.
Out came chain saws, line poles, thick insulated gloves, goggles and chaps. The group of 10 walked through the pasture, over the electric fences and began slashing the trees and brush that was growing under and into the power lines.
While the guys worked, I made brownies and was able to share them with the crew for their coffee break. I’m very happy with my gift of chipped wood and my gesture, hopefully, will keep me on the receiving end of the chip deliveries.
