    We need to get you a trailer load to go with that truckload for those half hour from home hauls. Get all the more while you’re there! Looks like some great stuff!:yes:

    Looks like a long box on the ford? Ever drive by the scales and wonder what a full load weighs? I know I do!

    I would not have had time anyhow even with a trailer. I accidently left my Isocore there and will go back for more. Was going back anyhow. Have a small job near there too so was trying to plan accordingly. Im trying to figure storage for more BL now.

    Where in LA do you live? I didn't think there was any around here, I finally realized what it looked like and have found some in 3 different spots in the little town I work in.

    Brad should pull a Johnny Appleseed and travel the country dropping Locust seeds in various states. He’ll be in the history books....I mean tablets for young future generations to look up to!!!

    “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.
    6 And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
    7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
    8 And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold.”

    Havent had a chance to get back to this score. Had a small job nearby this so hit it after. Been without the Isocore as i left it there last time by accident. Homeowner put it in his garage for me.
    Town had returned to take down another BL leaner. WOO HOO! 11" DBH tree cut in sections. Flip flopped to truck to buck. Bucked and took a big trunk section. IMG_3736.JPG IMG_3738.JPG 361 loves cutting locust! IMG_3740.JPG IMG_3741.JPG IMG_3739.JPG IMG_3742.JPG IMG_3743.JPG
    Still three trees left to get out of the woods. The town cut one was a bonus. Maybe two more trips IMG_3737.JPG

    Cut half a PU full to fillout a load as i cut directly across the street. Worked one 16" DBH tree. Bucked into sections and flip flipped to the road. Cut and loaded there. IMG_3977.JPG IMG_3978.JPG
    Trunk was off the ground which made for easy cutting. Cur single rounds from there on.
    IMG_3979.JPG
    IMG_3980.JPG IMG_3981.JPG
    Some smalls, rest of trunk and a couple of 12" DBH trees to harvest yet. A top in the tangle too. At least a heaping PU full. Gonna be some work but any BL for me is work! Not sure when ill go back.
    IMG_3982.JPG IMG_3983.JPG
    Mound of dead rounds continues to grow. IMG_3984.JPG As does the stack of green rounds. IMG_3986.JPG Anyone feel like coming over to split some BL?
