The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIX

Morning all! Busy weekend. Went out to do some yard work on Saturday during a period of relatively limited precipitation. I've been going section by section (yard is 2 acres, with areas to the rear and side that are forested) and slowly cleaning it up from years of neglect during the tenure previous owners.

Tackled the side yard, and discovered that vines have grown throughout, climbing most of the trees there, and killing several. After 4 hours of tree removal (cut down 3), limb removal (not mine), digging up vines to tear them out by the roots, and raking... man I was shot. Chainsaw housing got so hot it started melting. Piece of crap was meant for occasional trimming, not real cutting. Looking into a more sturdy replacement.
