What can I say Jim – you and your trees are just a pack of trouble!    :-)

I wonder if the type of tree makes a difference or not.  Here in CT we have Oaks, a few Pines and lots of hardwoods – Burr Oak, Cherry, Maple, Ash, Black Birch, etc.  No redwoods except in playground swing sets.   :-)

It was the insulation on my wire that scorched when it arced to the 
redwood branch!
