This tree is down close to my house. I have cut a few truck loads so far off of it so far, and my buddy has cut two off of it. And then I got this load today.
Anyone’s guess until clemsonfor responds… In the meantime, I’d say his phone will have “feed thong” ready on ClemCorrect tho.
Nice! Looks like a fun score to work. Look at all that purple wisteria blooming too. We don't see that around here until mid-late May
Uhh. Yeah. You guys only scratched the surface of the available wood in that tree. Nice score clemsonfor ! Hoard on!!!!
Mostly a Stihl 650 wearing a 20" bar so far. Also a husky 372 but I think the carb finally gave up when I needed it as a rescue for the pinched Stihl.
My younger brother went to a boarding school up in New Hampshire. When do you graduate, I don't know May first week of June? Heck I don't know. It was shorts and t-shirt weather back home. When I got up there I was wearing pants and sweatshirt almost the whole time. I was cold as all get out, the locals were in t shirts and shorts. My wife and I drove out to try to find the coast. Ended up in some small coastal town on a cold windy rainy night I remember. We just wanted to see the northern coast. I'm from the coat myself so it wasn't just to see the ocean thing. We Found a local burger place in a closed down coastal town due to off season. We be came the attraction in that local burger joint, I guess the random "tourists" that came in that time of year. That and the southern accents I guess?
Graduation is somewhere around mid-June up here, in general. Coastal New Hampshire isn’t known for being too warm even at the height of summer either, at least for more than a few days during a heat wave. I went to Hampton Beach years ago to try surfing, the week after Labor Day weekend. Figured by then the ocean would be as warm as it was going to get. Water was barely in the low 60s and the air temperature wasn’t any warmer There’s a world of difference between mid-New England and southern New England. If you look at the growing zone maps, some spots close to the coast in southwest Connecticut are classified as sub-tropical. Lots of nice coastline up here, from Acadia National Park, Martha’s Vineyard, the pine barrens in eastern Massachusetts… I’ll bet you guys piqued the curiosity of the NH locals. There’s no shortage of snowbirds crossing the Mason-Dixon Line to escape the cold, but it’s not commonplace for southerners to head north other than to see iconic places like Niagara Falls or take a stroll through Central Park.
First time I vacationed on an island off the coast of Maine was Memorial Day weekend. I had rolled my ankle real hard the day before I left. Drove a standard all the way up. First thing I did was hobble down to the water and stuff that ankle in the ocean. YeeHaa little Willy was so scared he was next I think I became a girl. LOL. That’s some dang cold water.
clemsonfor may be busy. That is Wysteria, a parasitic plant if memory serves me correctly. Very attractive in spring but not very nice to deal with when felling .
Google wisteria and look at images. Wish I had one! Not too far away a couple towns over, someone has one stretching down their split rail fence. It's beautiful when blooming. I've only seen it as a vine, not a tree that could be felled.
Wisteria is just as bad if not worse than kudzu in my area. My next door neighbors woods is destroyed from Wisteria and I have to keep spraying the border to keep it off my lot. They will never get their land back from the devil vine. Don’t let the purple flowers fool you. If you have it, destroy it.
