    Went out this morning and loaded the brush from my yard in the truck. I was surprised that I could fit it all in 1 load, lots of jumping on it. On my way out to my friends place to dump I got a call that a tree service was there to chip all the brush and wanted to use my driveway to set up. When I got back I went ahead and racked our yard while neighbors came out to rack there's. Just dumped it all in the pickup until I get it dumped sometime. Snapped a few pictures, but none of the brush load. IMG_20170806_164551.jpg IMG_20170806_164555.jpg IMG_20170806_164606.jpg IMG_20170806_164608.jpg IMG_20170806_164618.jpg

    Yes me and Scotty Overkill know that all too well! We did a big ash tree leaning over a two story garage built in the 1870's. The guy that owned it lived there as a kid and said I had a tree house in there when he was a kid.

    Chit there was nails the whole way up the tree to 10ft from the tops!:bug::bug:. Along with cable, chain, netting and rope grown into the tree!:hair::hair:. We each trashed 4 chains a cable and a rope! Here's a couple of pictures.

A limb broke off on there apple tree, what was left of it anyway. Took care of that and grabed the apples for my best friend.

    The apple limb is good for smoking or grilling over.

    It will not make it to the stove. I offered it to someone who purchased apple from me in the past, but they did not come by, so thinking I will just hang on to it. None of the apples will go to waste as their chickens will love the bad ones.
    Should have the rest of the ash next weekend.:dex::axe::woodsign::saw:

    Felling was delayed until the 11th now. Went out today and split all but 1 that's a little long and needs cut.
