    On the way home, caught out of the corner of my eye a tree removal crew. A big chunk of oak. So I did a u turn at the next available entrance. I stopped and Ask, that’s when I noticed 2 small chunks of black locust. I told him give me 20 minutes. So I could go get my trailer. Got a nice load of Oak, black locust and hackberry. All loaded with a dingo.

    And a old weed eater stuck in the hackberry…:rofl: :lol:

    Nice load there sir! :thumbs: Great that you could be Johnny on the spot, or in your case, Kevin on the spot!

    First time ive ever seen any gas powered equipment stuck in a tree. Be sure to post pics when you remove it with surgical precision! :saw: :axe:

    Id cut above and below where it's stuck in the tree and keep it as a conversation piece. That's really cool.
