    Split some willow with the north star today....in the backwoods style.

    The good old Honda actually took three pulls to start! Usually, it's only two pulls. Haven't used it since Sep.....

    I'm already cleared for no work tomorrow. With a working TENZ unit, fresh ice packs and a handful of IBU, I've been able to walk around the house a bit. Really beats 24+ hours laying on my back.:thumbs:

    The tree probably had no more than 5 years till it came down on it's own. Big hollow spot about 6' long in the base and it was also a leaner.

    Smelled bad and split worse with all it's twists, gnarls, etc.

    Gee Eric... I just read all of your recent posts. Sounded like you got kicked by a horse. Sorry you had to get through that kind of pain. It's no fun at all. Go slow ... no marathons or weight lifting competitions today... ;)
