I have a large Apricot tree in my front yard. It's about 40 years old now. It really needs to come down, but my wife wants to save it. Last week, a large branch broke off. I finally got around to cleaning it up this morning. Lots of brush from one tree branch...
Did you save any for the smoker? I took out 2 sick apricots in my yard a couple years ago and saved most of it. At first it was just gonna be firewood, until I tried some on the smoker. Now that’s all I use. Tastes great and smells even better
I gave some to a friend awhile back and it's his favorite smoking/BBQwood. Think I might do some burgers or steaks with it. I have some that is real dry that I cut last year.
Nice save. Looks like it's been "saved" once or twice already. Any way to plant another one somewhere near it ? We had a full size peach tree that eventually just plain got too big. At the end there was just one big branch left and it was almostimposssible to spray well. The core of the tree was rotting. Man that tree had some nice peaches though.
Yes, it's been chopped on many times. I'd like to get rid of it and plant a couple of shade trees farther out from the house.
You need to tell your wife that you are the man of this house and what you say is how it will be. get back with us and tell us how it worked out.
At best, when we awaken and become aware of our indentured servitude, they give us just enough slack so that we can fool ourselves into believing we have a say in things. It's only a ruse though.
I dont get much in the way of fruitwood, but its geat firewood and popular with smokers. I scored some apple back in March. Are you removing the rest of the tree bigfrank ?
Sourwood Quit picking on Eric Schamell . He told me he wears the pants in his family and he has his wife's permission to say so
We've got this new generation groupthink ideology today that believes we men rule this world with an iron fist, squashing everyone not in our good old boys club... yet I can't make a single decision under my own roof without it being questioned, ridiculed, taken out of context and distorted into a strawman argument... In short, I'm always wrong. And every single married man I know finds himself in this same quandary. We're all being gaslighted collectively! Except those among us who didn't buy in from the start, or the ones who through one turn of events or another were forced out of the game. The bachelors out there without anyone to answer to, who can wake up every day and set their own rules, be as selfish or selfless as they want, those men have it made. The fathers that put in their time, had a life rich in experience raising kids, being a husband, being a provider, then got out when they realized that role had run it's course and it was time to move on to seek fulfillment through new avenues... hats off to them. Jaded? Me? Pffffffttt. To end my narcissistic rant, I'll simply say this: Glad I got that out, now I'll go back to my role as a doormat
