    Finally got around to cleaning up a dead elm blow over from last weeks storm. Decided to use the stealth saw since its the only one currently sporting a sharp chain. Still have a hickory blowover to clean up. That one pizzed me off nice straight good sized hickory and its in a low spot too. Not sure how that really happened.

    We’re supposed to have upper 90’s through early week. Just going to relax. If I do any work it will be early morning before it warms up over 85*.

    even last night the low was only 76*F.

    That's about as perfect as elm scores get. :thumbs: No bark, no mess and long-dead makes much better firewood compared to a live elm. Best way to get it IMO.
