Looks like a good deal, but I don't care for a 6-mil dot.

“Planting more trees in cities would save lives.More than a third of all heat-related deaths in the world from 2000 to 2019 could’ve been avoided with more vegetation in urban zones, researchers in Australia reported this week. According to their model of temperatures and greenness across 11,000...

Increasing flora by 30% causing a 1/3 of a degree reduction in temperature....and thereby saving over a million lives....seems a bit far-fetched to me.

Had a nice, crispy dead white oak this morning. A tad over 90’ tall, on a bit of a hill, next to a house built partially underground about 35’ away. It had already dropped several big limbs that fortunately missed the house.

Can’t verify, but I saw in the comments on the video Cory posted of the dude getting thrown from the bucket that he lost his left arm at the shoulder and broke several other bones.

I got off a bit early today and we had some mushrooms that needed to be cooked so I fired up the Blackstone and made a Philly steak sammich…

Worst case, call Daniel Murphy and get his opinion…🤣

You say it’s a “crisp double action”…is it not striker-fired? Now that Glock’s patent has expired, everyone and their brother is turning out clones. I picked up a Canik a while back, and I know a guy who has a Stoeger.

And folks think three days’ membership on a tree forum makes them “qualified” to do tree work…😳

If only they’d used a bigger/deeper face cut….

Surely he hasn’t forsaken us already? If your ten-year-old needs his tonsils removed, would you post a couple of pics of him saying “AH” on a surgeons forum, asking for advice on how to go about taking them out? 😳

Easy, Tiger. No one here is trying to talk down to you. But most here have either witnessed first-hand an injury, or knows someone who has. I went up to rescue a climber in 1988 who cut his hand badly when his chainsaw kicked back. He panicked and was going berserk at the blood. And I once took...

I looked at a job for a guy a while back. He’d already looked into renting a lift and taking his tree down himself. I climbed it, took off the large failed limb that was still semi-attached and hanging off the side, hung a rope in it and pulled the rest of the tree over cheaper than the price...

Was the $6000 quote just to take it down, take it down and clean it up, or take down/clean up/ stump grinding? Without seeing more of what's under the tree, (and without knowing what all that quote included), it's hard to say whether that quote is a fair price, or highway robbery.
