I had a dish installed last year because the old dish the previous owner had installed became overgrown. So it does happen, but I wouldn't cut trees down, I'd just move the dish.

The definition of hoosier- or redneck for you non St Louisans- is someone who cuts down trees instead of moving dish. Also, doc, please don't climb tree with chainsaw in your hand.

she can climb with it disassembled, then assemble it once she's to the appropriate branch level.

bulletproof plan.

I had no idea trees could grow that quickly. And this entire thread is fantastic.

jim, while i love the idea of owning a $500 chainsaw - and i love the idea of using it, remember, i've driven into a moving dump truck before.
i think it is best that i do not use chainsaws to eliminate huge trees in my back yard that may fall onto my house, my neighbors' homes, myself or powerlines. It has taken me many years to think in these terms. don't tempt me!

ANYWAY: So I bought mlbtv.com thinking I'll just watch it online. I forgot about the local blackouts. So I decide screw it, I am going to the game. I show up in the 5th inning and i guess i regret it?
