I don't mean to interfere with your work processes, but might I humbly suggest that this is an excellent point in time to put away those tools, see a doc about that bicep, and call in a professional to take care of the tree?

Does anyone have any good resources for applying business-focused solution architecture (in the broader "Why/Motivation" sense) to gap analysis with TOGAF for a client's core business? I'm kind of going back to first principles but would prefer having existing case studies etc.

Saw a couple of these polyhedral fungi out on my mtb ride. Is #fungiverse a thing?

Nope, my bicep is too knackered. Ho hum, probably for the best.

I'm going to strap myself in well. The problem with that though is that I can't get out of the way should a branch do something unexpected (a basic tenet of chainsawing). However, we're not talking about full trunks here. I'm also not sure if I can hold the chainsaw properly with my buggered bicep...

Right, sod this. Time for the nucular option. I'm going to attach the big ladder to the tree, wear my harness, and attach that higher up so I can attack the main branches with the chainsaw. What could possibly go wrong?

Ok, right bicep tear is painful but there's no lump of muscle tissue that I can see so it's not completely gone. I'm now mainly using my left arm and angling the cutting head to be optimal for each given branch.

Or I was. I now have an impromptu artwork in the garden as I may have slightly over-lengthened the cutting tool. It's impossible to bring down as the two parts are detached and the top half is cutting into a branch. Oops.

"On July 5, the day after the Texas floods hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received 3,027 calls from survivors and answered 3,018 of them, about 99.7%, according to Maxine Joselow of the New York Times. But that day, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies that answered those calls. The staff at the centers were fired. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or about 35.8%. On Monday, July 7, FEMA received 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, around 15.9%."
