The DAVE!

 To those who may not know... Dave is a crossfitter.  ( Is that even a word? Google?)  For those who may not know what a crossfitter is...  They do workouts that Mirror the life of a caveman.   ( Lifting boulders, rolling giant tires,  and jumping over tall things.)   Most of the serious crossfitters end up looking like hulks (Minus the green paint) after a few years... So be warned!  

Well today,  Dave was walking around the neighborhood when he encountered a neighbor that was having a bit of an issue...  With a tree.   

 You see,   this neighbor has an immaculate lawn that he dotes over every day and he wanted to remove a fairly large tree so he could plant a new, younger one.    In the process, he did not want to damage his wonderful lawn by tearing a large gouge in the turf.   So... he has been working on removing the tree bit by bit over the last several days.  Until today,  when he finally had to remove the large stump.  


Dave to the rescue!  

 After conversing with the neighbor,  Dave walked over and picked up the stump and put it on the guy's Massive Truck!  Looks like all of those years of picking up boulders had finally been worth something...  

  The entire scenario reminded me of the animated TV series "The Tick!"    A guy who is so ridiculously strong  that he is practically indestructible.    Yet,   he seems to be unaware of his own strength.    He picks up trucks with one hand so he can look under them for "bad guys."  Comedy ensues!  

To be fair,  I guess the neighbor helped a little.   And I saw the stump... ( It was not huge, but big enough.... And  solid!)
  Still,  the idea that a heavy tree stump could be ripped out   by some random guy walking down the street makes for a funny story.  Nice to know there are guys like him around in the event you ever lose the jack for your car and you need to change out a flat tire.
