    I got yesterday’s tree stacked, so I’m going to put another on the ground today.

    It’s got some back lean and there are other trees I don’t want to tear up, so I put a rope in this one too.

    A well fed hoarder is a focused hoarder!

    I did, but I still have to do it. Yes it’s good to be focused while cutting. As soon as I dipped my bar into the dirt, I knew it was time to stop cutting.

    Thanks, the 661 is safe, because of the 28” bar and big wood power. It’s the 70cc group that’s crowded. Some of them may be seeing less daylight for a while.

    Yes they are beauties that will make lots of squares and rectangles. Probably have to cut them all in half when the 400 shows up. :saw:

    No doubt, cool shot! We had a bald eagle sighting about 2 weeks ago @ our house. Yesterday my wife said she saw it again on her way home from work. They are huge!
