8 feet of leverage vs. 80 feet of tree. Big mismatch.

Just like accidents. Usually a number of things combine.

Osage limbs are incredibly strong. A neighboring farm had limbs put in along the road for posts. Cars would go off the road in the winter and hit a small post. Owners would be amazed the damage they did to their car.

I discovered that mulberry is related to Osage Orange. That told me a lot. Their roots are both orange. That's what gave me cause to research.

I looked them up. They have positive reviews. Hard to believe, watching that clip. Crane would have been quick and easy.

A lot less I would say. Never cut one, but branches break off a lot. Good sized branches. Seems to be quite brittle.

Good around here.

Yes. I like you can put in your zip code and it will be more accurate than the closest big city, like NOAA does.

I wonder what it crashed, besides the poor little skid steer.

WU also will do a much more local forecast than NOAA also.

High 30s. 25 mph wind gusting 40. Power was off this morning before light. They had it back on 40 minutes later. They finally got off their dead asses and got the bunch of dead ash that used to take the power out every time the wind blew. They knew right where to go when it went out. Job...

The new one are getting worse by the year. Full of gimmicky unnecessary crap that breaks and take things away like grease fittings, dipsticks, keys that don't go dead and strand you etc. etc.

Trying to grease front end on my winter drive. 2003 Tahoe. All not bad to get to til I got to the pitman arm and idler. Figured I would change fittings to right angle. Fittings did not want to budge, so I struggled til I got things in the right position so I could loop the hose up and over...
