    Passing of Greg Hoover

    Nice of you to recognize your friend. A common thing I have observed is when someone mentions that the person being remembered is said to have always stopped to acknowledge the presence of another right away, It is usually a sign of a good person...at least from my experience. Thanks for sharing

    Okay! It can stop anytime now!

    Very little snowfall this winter... I'd consider trading for the back to back to back storms we keep getting. last night was the latest. Don't get me wrong, I know some folks have it way worse...

    I put up my first box this winter.... I'm afraid I was a bit late. Fingers crossed I added the perch, It was a gift.

    So Who Speaks For The Trees?

    So many decisions are based on unfounded fears. Even more jobs are sold when fear is introduced. They aren't growing as fast as they are getting cut down. I used to be excited to notch my belt with a big ass removal. It just feels different now. This subject always has and always will be an onion.

    Need Rigging Pictures

    @evo did you uproot the fir just to see if you could? Seems like fun. Never had the opportunity (maybe the time) to do something as large as that.

    Nice tribute... watched the cottonwood vid when it was first posted and could tell he (Jed) was the real deal. What I liked most about him was his humble demeanor. He shined on camera. fuckin storm damage, general public has no idea...

    Nomenclature of a felling cut

    looks can be deceiving, in the spirit of transparency, there was room for error. Green giant arborvitae. Supple exterior vs. Granite.. for the record, I always treat each marker as if it was my family or marble, in other words, I always make sure I miss those targets, regardless. Thank you just...

    Better ways to achieve same outcome....agreed. This was intentionally left attached, cut a small amount off bottom to clear. one and only time I did this cut

    Left-handed saw?

    when I'm face cutting or felling, I am throttling with my right hand(usually). When I am flushing a stump, I am throttling with my left. I guess this makes me a bit poindexterous too. It would be difficult, at best, to have only one grip option.
