A sports interest, a metal ruler and the book with biography of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. A diary note.
The rest of the trunk (about 2 meters high) from the cut (sawed) tree did not particularly interfere. No harm.
But Sergei Sergeevich felt a sporting interest - to try to cut down this trunk as well.
There were clearly not enough tools for cutting such a thick trunk.
Had to turn to a metal ruler and to careful planning.
According to rough estimates, it turned out that it needed a four days for all the work. About 1.,0 - 1.5 hours a day.
January 5, 2020. A morning. The cutting of the trunk in the thickest part was launched.
The work was not going badly, although without much success. About two hours later, Sergei Sergeevich completed this matter and decided to read the biography of Solzhenitsyn for half an hour.
He is reading this book in a random sequence. Solzhenitsyn completes his studies at an artillery school and goes to the front. A frontline events. A destroyed enemy batteries. Solzhenitsyn's meetings with his wife (Reshetovskaya), with a friend of his youth Vitkevich. Exchange of letters (passing through the military censorship) mentioning "Vovka" and "Pahan" and great (political) plans ... He writes constantly. Periodically keeps a diary ...
Lots of interesting details!
It is useful to switch from one activity to another.
While process reading the biography, ideas came up about using an additional tool to cut (to saw) the remaining tree trunk.
Let's try!
One two three! One two three!
The metal ruler is used again. She prompts that the case is progressing, that it is nearing a successful result.
More extra effort. The tree trunk emits a characteristic creak. A falling will be soon!
A final actions. The remain of tree trunk is falling!
What is a result of comparing of Assets and Liabilities?
Plus: a sawn tree, a saving of time and of money, no fuss (the hustle would take half a day). A physical exercise. A fresh air. The sports interest received a positive response. A fragment of Solzhenitsyn's biography was read.
What's in minus? A huge risk (the task itself was risky, the use of some instruments was very risky), a some damage to health (the colossal bruise on the thigh).
What else to invent of interesting?
