Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You have to cut them first by hand...all the way back to the trees. But at least WhyFi can lend you the tools...if he does that sort of thing. And they WILL be sharp.

I very much doubt @WhyFi lends his tools out. Likely have a better chance of getting the keys to his new Tesla.

I really need to stop eating when I'm bored. My belly associates Netflix with carbs. Needs to stop.
