Today, Friday the 13th, 2007, will find me pruning my parent's Chinese elms. This activity involves several ladders, sharp implements and me dangling anywhere from 5-20 feet in the air while stretching to lop off offending boughs. I'm thinking about bringing along a couple mirrors and throwing them down to the concrete below just to make a propper job of it.

Awesome! Sooo funny....
You are def screwed my friend. Def. ;)
The Carnage Report:
Cubic Feet of Branches Pruned: Soooo many
Minor Scrapes/Abrasions: 2
Number of Bail-outs From Top Rung of 10' Ladder: 1
Number of Sprinklers Surviving: 5 ish (of 20ish)
All in all, a pretty successful day of cursed pruning . . .
Haha, what happened to the sprinklers?
Well, I was ankle deep in ground cover moving a 10' ladder about hither, thither and yon. That coupled with moderate dehydration and the fact that I seldom look where I am going spelled certain doom for a majority of the ill-placed sprinkler risers.
I patched em all up, though. No worries.
