Branches, Branches, Branches!!!

Wondering what to do with that pile of branches before Christmas? 

Frustrated with aligning your schedule and the venting index? 

Looking for a Greener Way Out with a little Work Out

Instead of the old "Smoke Out"?

Maybe Thetis Resident Woody, a trailer mounted Wood-Chipper could be your Answer. Woody resides on Thetis, ready and available to serve the islands chipping needs. Woody's 49Hp industrial wood chipping teeth are hungry for wood up to 12" diameter. 

Woody's average hour typically converts a neatly stacked accessible VW Bug sized branch pile into wood chips ready for compost or ground cover. 

One hour minimum $125/hr

For a Chipping Good Time and a

Fun Workout, without the Frustration of 

When to Let the Smoke Out,

Looking for Cassette Player

Looking for something I can play old cassette tapes with. I’ve tried second hand radio but it broke after light use. If someone has a radio with tape player attached they’d be willing to part with I would happily give it a new home.

Needs to be working well. Thanks.

Dog Walking on Burchell Trail

Thursday afternoon I was walking my dog on the trail when a frisky dog suddenly appeared on its own. My dog took it as an invitation to play and shot after the dog. As mine was on a lead it did not bode well for me. The lead tore out of my hand, but the force of the tug pulled me to the ground, and I fell hard.  This is the second time that has happened to me on the trail. I am very sore and was quite shaken up at the time.  The owner helped me up and assisted me down the trail, which was very kind of her, but I really don’t want to go through this a third time so please, when walking your dog keep it on a lead. My bones will thank you.
