    Wow" you have more blow downs than anyone I know. At least this one is hung up like so many of your others are. Hope the blade is workable.

    Glad to hear nothing was damaged. Hickory is great burning wood. Knock yourself out!

    Wind was howling here - 45mph sustained; 60mph gusts. Took a quick survey around the perimeter of the property yesterday before it got dark. A little spooky venturing into the woods with those kind of winds! Few large branches down, but I didn't notice any whole trees. I'll get a closer inspection this weekend. Saw a bunch down on my way into work this morning.

    So the blade looks OK and it seems like roughly 80% of the tree should be good. It had some old termite damage right at the base and snapped off there.

    Didn't get it bucked up last night as we had a coaches meeting for basket ball. Probably won't get it bucked this evening either due to bball. Guess it will still be here this weekend.
