    Had a few guests for the last couple of days. Some of the Montana crew were here for a nice visit. Couple of the boys came down and they went to work!!
    Friday night they went to town in my overgrown back area. Trust me, the hatchets were flying. So come Sat. morning, they wanted to go down to Denver to pick up the "new" wood chipper. Long story short, we chipped most of Sat. afternoon and a number of hours on Sunday. You can actually see across the creek now.
    Yes, there's still a lot to be done, but they got the ball rolling. So a big hat tip and Thank You! to Jayden and Damon! Well Seasoned will be kind enough to post a few pics. for me in a bit, I can explain them then. JB

    Put down a bed load in a planter box up front, but it's really wet so not too much. Also, I seem to remember Aspen mulch may be bad for some reason but I can't verify that. Thoughts?

    Don't know about poison mulch, maybe. Got me looking at chippers online. I may rent one for now. :makeitrain"

    Thanks Eric, it really was a team effort. Much more to do though... I'll get there.

    I have a 1/2 interest in the same chipper. That pile of brush there is about all I've ever put through it. If you need to do the brush from an entire tree, you're gonna be there for a little while. It's probably nice for occasional yard brush like that but it just wasn't big or fast enough for what I needed to do. I'd like to get one that is though.

    Beautiful creek! I'd love to have myself a view of something like that. :)
