There are so many things I want to say about what I see. But I am going to bite my tongue.

Don’t worry. I had to do the same. Can’t afford to turn down work right now. For what it’s worth, i had the informed consent of the neighbor, and I explained that I didn’t think this was the best approach.

At least it’s a Mulberry.

Plunge cut that took out the hinge.

…More dead Oaks. Climbed a 50% grade to get to the postage stamp side yard and work these stems that could easily crush the roof in. 6 trees. Hopefully finished by 13:00.

Why do people let their trees get to that bad of a condition?

Do I say congratulations that your photo didn’t show up twice in the post, or is that @Vicente that it was happening to? Think it was one of you guys…

An acute impact about a decade ago killed so many trees that I think it was financially out of reach initially. We’re still reeling from the impact in my area. EAB just arrived and now BLD. Heads gonna explode.

Made some applesauce this morning before another tight back yard jobber.

Applesauce really brings out the bees, at least around here. And I've clogged up my chipper real bad doing that in the past. Now I just scoop them straight into the back...

Going to hit 66 degrees again today. Time to move north. South Minnesota is in the 90s already. They can keep it down there. Ought to be part of Iowa anyway.

I’ll check the chip box this afternoon and see what’s flying!
