Happy birthday @CurSedVoyce!

I can't seem to post pics, so I'll do it this way. Long story short, I had some scrap, including some Minute mount ears and an old pallet fork frame. A couple of hydraulic adapters and an hour of fab work, and we're off to the races.

After nights in single digits and highs in the teens, 38*F today was warm. And, it was warm enough to open the hoop house to water the Swiss Chard, Lettuce, Spinach, Radishes, and Arugula.

About the same here, it's now 10:30ish. Should hit about 50 this afternoon. Dry today and the next couple. Nice weather.

Heat wave. 38. It feels like heavy shirt weather.

Dang warm winter here. Now I have deciduous oaks budding out. We can get snow into April. There will be carnage if it keeps up. Might be too late no matter. Shat will get broken.

Nice. For me, stacked firewood is pure utilitarianism, which has its own attractiveness when done well. That is artistry...and I am no artist and certainly don't have the patience for it :).

Yesterday Tree was a sketchy poop piñata

26,000lbs of iron is 26,000 lbs. I broke all the canopy branches off and shoved to the side once down, no cutting. Hard, brittle. Several breaks like this. 18-24” dia Tree probably could have been mostly pieced down from a taller bucket or climber. The 38’ tele wasn’t nearly tall...

What you can do with a solid skillset in using a throwline (and multiple throwlines) is pretty much only limited by your imagination and doggedness. What you describe is within that range, maybe not even much of a challenge @davidwyby. ;) Boy, you are really getting a lot of use out of that...

About 48” dbh The tree fell on the face cut wedge and squirted it back up into place on the stump. I was dumbfounded. Soak the aches away…

When I’m pulling, I’m pulling with cable or 1.25” Bullrope…usually have something to get me up there, and specific ways and places I need to attach to. I wrapped this whole tree with the rope today half way up. Too branchy for a throw, no single stem strong enough. I see maybe throwing for a...

Looks like might have done that in one of the pictures....

Seems like we have a warm stretch coming. But I’ll believe it when I see it. Stay warm!

Life in the tropics.

Probably.

I'm jealous. Another below zero night. Wind chills have been something like -30 something American. Kubota self-started at zero this morning, so I'm happy about that.
