After several of us spent a few hours one afternoon clearing a small corner of the property, one of the men decided to save us all a lot of time and blisters. He enlisted the help of a friend with a heavy equipment service. Okay, so we missed the joy of fellowship of men working together, but what would have taken us a couple of hundred man-hours, took just a few. All of the trash, debris, and dry brush is now ready to be carted off. There were a couple of delays because of angry swarms of yellow-jackets. The equipment operator had to abandon the driver's seat on one occassion, but he escaped with only one sting. We waited for about an hour for the insects to calm down. In spite of their ferocious activity they did not defeat the orange monster that had invaded their territory. Soon the driver could get back to his perch at the controls, and in no time the job was done.
