Looks like the cars are going to have to wait for awhile, something's moved up to the top of the "honey do" list... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
No major damage but it's going to take some effort to clean up...

At this very instant the news is showing a story about all these ENORMOUS old trees that got knocked down in Como Park in St. Paul last night. It wasn't even that much of a storm.

I think the trees are rebelling...

Whatever you do, don't save that shit for firewood. Eucalyptus burns great...until it EXPLODES.

Good Luck.

Only at the San Diego Zoo... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
These trees were brought to the US when the cross continental railway was built. They were desirable because the wood was as strong as oak but unlike oak eucalyptus grew very fast. It was only after they tried to split the trees into railroad ties that they found that the grain of the tree spiraled and could not be easily split into square ties. Now we're stuck with a bunch of these trees and no koalas to eat them.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
