    It took a long time for my first load, but I do live out of the way for most tree jobs.

    Good for you Ralphie. Now you have to get busy. Hopefully you can get it done before any road trips. Or have you cancelled the trip for this summer?

    I live out of the way as well. It does say there have been 69 deliveries within 50 miles of me in the last 30 days.

    I heard saws this morning, and a very loud chipper.
    Unfortunately they were removing the huge ancient old arborvitaes across the street.
    I could tell by the smell before going out to the street to eyeball it.
    They're stacking neatly cut rounds.
    I don't need want them.

    Still waiting. I have been signed up since Nov. and have reupped twice. Ralphie Boy did you pay the, I believe it was, $20 fee/donation when you signed up? As I understand you are paying the Arborist's dumping fee with the$20.
    By the way. Nice drop.

    I did this time but my first drop I didn't pay. By the way, while we were out they dropped again. Pictures to follow soon. Neither Chip Drop or the arborist charged me for today's second load.

    I phoned the arborist and thanked him for a great load of logs. He said they would be working this job for 3 days and if I wanded more he'd send it. I said I take all he could send, so, we shall see.

    We are changing plans and taking a couple of short cycling trips and some hiking, up Mt. Marci in NY. The camping option is different from state to state making a long cycling trip difficult to plan.

    We leave for NY tomorrow so wood processing is on hold for a while.

    A pine by any other name would smell as sweet...
