(22:19:53) shamus390: you were in a suburban neighbor
(22:19:56) sapientmoron: ya :-)
(22:20:04) sapientmoron: that's my tree
(22:20:07) shamus390: neighboorhood rather
(22:20:15) sapientmoron: it's perfect because there's a branch at least every 6 feet
(22:20:26) shamus390: you should see the tree we climb most often
(22:20:28) shamus390: it's the best
(22:20:29) shamus390: evar
(22:20:39) sapientmoron: we used to go down by the rec center and climb up in the forest too but it was sketchy
(22:21:03) sapientmoron: pix?
(22:21:08) shamus390: im lookin
(22:21:54) sapientmoron: that tree in my yard is like... 45 feet maybeh? i dunno
(22:22:13) shamus390: this one is huge
(22:22:16) shamus390: and you can go all the way up
(22:22:20) sapientmoron: sweet
(22:22:26) shamus390: i only gots one pic of it 'cause anne can't use her own camera
(22:22:31) shamus390: some day i'll upload the bajillion ones we have
(22:22:57) shamus390: here 1 sec
(22:22:57) sapientmoron: it'd be cool to have a tree INSIDE your house
(22:22:59) sapientmoron: like built around it
(22:23:04) sapientmoron: and you go up to the rooms by climbing it
(22:23:05) shamus390: yah
(22:23:14) shamus390: it's called a tree house bro
(22:23:17) sapientmoron: NOooo
(22:23:20) sapientmoron: not like a tree house lol
(22:23:24) shamus390: i know what you mean
(22:23:27) shamus390: i've often though of it
(22:23:28) shamus390: but
(22:23:30) shamus390: it'd be atree house
(22:23:48) shamus390: i decided i'm going to build the sickest tree house ever one day
(22:24:38) shamus390: IMAGE REMOVED.JPG
(22:24:44) shamus390: you can kinda see what kind of tree it is
(22:24:47) shamus390: big swooping branches
(22:25:19) sapientmoron: yay :-)
(22:25:28) shamus390: it's tricky to get up first because the lowest branch is like
(22:25:35) shamus390: 7 ish feet off the ground
(22:25:39) shamus390: so you gotsa run jump and swing
(22:25:40) sapientmoron: yeah
(22:25:40) shamus390: you know
(22:25:46) sapientmoron: how wide is it
(22:25:51) sapientmoron: can you hug it
(22:25:52) shamus390: very
(22:25:55) shamus390: no way
(22:25:58) sapientmoron: i mean not arms around it
(22:26:00) sapientmoron: but arms spread width
(22:26:11) shamus390: you couldn't get your arms all the way around it
(22:26:15) shamus390: maybe like half way around it
(22:26:40) sapientmoron: for rowing competitions sometimes we'd go to this place in mathews virginia
(22:26:48) sapientmoron: and in the forests there were these trees
(22:26:56) sapientmoron: very skinny
(22:26:59) sapientmoron: like
(22:27:02) sapientmoron: as skinny as that branch she's on
(22:27:06) sapientmoron: but also pretty tal
(22:27:07) shamus390: o rly
(22:27:11) sapientmoron: and i'd climb all the way to the top of htem
(22:27:13) sapientmoron: and it'd bend down
(22:27:15) sapientmoron: to the ground
(22:27:20) sapientmoron: and then you can let go and it goes BOING
(22:27:22) shamus390: that's cool
(22:27:25) shamus390: at the farm
(22:27:26) shamus390: we have like
(22:27:30) shamus390: 25 acres i think
(22:27:33) shamus390: so there's lotsa woods
(22:27:43) sapientmoron: 25 acres wow
(22:27:43) shamus390: and then theres 60 acres of a land preserve adjacent
(22:27:46) shamus390: yah
(22:27:49) shamus390: it's on the side of the city
(22:27:52) shamus390: state line actually
(22:28:03) shamus390: and there are places where you can climb a tree
(22:28:04) shamus390: and
(22:28:07) shamus390: go from tree to tree
(22:28:20) sapientmoron: sick
(22:28:26) shamus390: i think i might see if i can build a big tree house this spring

(22:32:59) shamus390: yah
(22:33:04) shamus390: i know what he;s talkin about
(22:33:11) sapientmoron: trying to figure out what the tree is called.
(22:33:35) shamus390: i'm not good at climbing trees with not branches tho
(22:34:13) sapientmoron: i can climb a decent width tree with no branches just by hugging it
(22:34:18) shamus390: there's a river at the end of my street
(22:34:24) shamus390: surrounded by forests
(22:34:31) shamus390: used to play there all the time when i was younger
(22:34:33) shamus390: and at our spot
(22:34:37) shamus390: where out fort was
(22:34:48) shamus390: a really tall tree had falled like
(22:34:51) shamus390: decades ago
(22:34:59) shamus390: and in a way that like
(22:35:12) shamus390: it was held up by other trees
(22:35:23) shamus390: so it was horizontal above the ground
(22:35:30) shamus390: steady as a rock
(22:35:42) shamus390: and it goes from the top of the river bed out over the river
(22:35:53) sapientmoron: we should make a tree thread
(22:35:54) shamus390: these days it's gotten to weak and we're afraid it'll break
(22:35:56) shamus390: but
(22:36:00) shamus390: we always used to walk out
(22:36:05) shamus390: and then grab this one pine tree bracnd
(22:36:08) shamus390: and swing down
(22:36:12) shamus390: like a rope
(22:36:15) shamus390: it was awesome
(22:36:36) shamus390: although one day i cut myself on it
(22:36:42) shamus390: when it whipped back up
(22:36:46) shamus390: i have a scar there
(22:36:52) shamus390: kinda looks like i cut myself lulz
(22:37:06) shamus390: k i'll make the thread rite naow
