    The power company has been trimming around their lines lately. The power lines are on the other side of the road so they haven't touched any of my trees. But my neighbor has a massive maple that grew right through them. It was actually trimmed really nice and didnt look to be a threat, but I guess they decided enough is enough and they're taking it down.

    All week I've been driving by 2-3 cords of maple, cut to length, by the side of the road, easily mine for the asking. I'm letting it go :eek: - Ive got enough of my own to deal with already.

    I told my brother in law about it and even offered to help, but he didnt text me back. So I told my sister about it... :whistle:

    Yeah, you sinned big time! And confessing here won't get you redeemed either.
    First you say you're too busy.
    Then you say you would help another with it! :loco: :crazy:

    Sometimes it's like trying to drink from a fire hose. You do what you can do and that's it. I have turned away easy pickins because I have enough to deal with on my own property. It still hurts to see it and not grab it. I feel your pain.

    I think it's a red - definitely not a sugar. It really is driving me nuts passing it up. :hair: If my BIL doesn't take it soon, I might not be able to stand it...

    OK it's a smaller sin if it's red... If it was Sugar we were going over for an intervention and some therapy! Cause you needed some help:hair:

    Oh, go get it. You know you want to! It's an opportunity that if you don't take it, you might end up regretting in the future.
