    The tree in the original post is taken care of, the rounds are back home in the splitting pile. I was done cutting before ten so the hear wasn't that bad.

    I'll post some pictures after I take the heating pad off my hamstring, it seemed to feel better after loading the trailer with the rounds.

    I had a good laugh this morning when I took a better look at the tree, that small longer branch I thought was hung up in another tree was just a very small part of that branch.

    The drop went fine except for a long branch on the top right side caught on a branch from another tree but some wedges took care of that. I brought home 18 rounds of some smaller but good Sugar Maple.

    I would've taken this Sugar Maple but the hamstring was tight so I'll grab this another day.

    Geeze Zap. We're like twins. My left hamstring is also very tight and then there is that other problem you mentioned (something about heading in a hurry to a small room in the house).

    The heating pad did a nice job on my hamstring, the other is under control.

    If the weather is good, I'll grab these two limbs off the Sugar Maple I grabbed the other day early tomorrow.

    I bucked up the small Maple branches that were on the ground, I hauled out 36 small rounds.
