    Almost done now.....Am going to wait a while before piecing down that huge stem.Now that 95% of the weight is off,the risk of it falling over is pretty much gone.I plan on leaving it 6 or 7 foot tall,maybe a bit less.

    Neighbor's yards all free of wood,any sticks picked up, chips/sawdust raked up & scattered around the shed.Great to walk on,keeps weeds down.

    Not doing much tomorrow,may take a few minutes after breakfast & fix the rope on the 750. It pulled free from the recoil when I had a couple more cuts to make,naturally.:hair:Gotta make that knot tighter,guess I don't know my own strength :rofl: :lol:

    Since I haven't had very strenuous duty at work compared to last summer & fall for almost the past 3 weeks prior I didn't need my daily 2 Naproxen soon as I wake up.But started taking them again Thursday morning.Will take a break from them now for a while,until things are really hurting again.
