    I also gave the dog a bath. Nice, clean and fluffy...............for a short while, any way.

    How'd it go today?

    First day of summer. I drained and cleaned the hottub and shut down and cleaned the wood burning furnace. In Iceland they have a name for it: Sumardagurinn fyrsti. https://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumardagurinn_fyrsti

    Wildlife reintroduction in PNW , Grizzly Bear ... really ?

    Reminds me of a discussion I had with a guy on the Danish Woodturner's forum about Cyanoacrylate glue. He figured that because it had Cyano in it's name, and cyanide was an ingredient in Cyclone B gas ( Used by ol' Adolph to gas jews, for those ignorant of history) it must be pure poison. I...

    Protocol here is : " Run, Forest, run!!!!" Just get the hell out of Dodge when it goes. When I start clearing an escape path before falling a tree, my apprentices know, some heavy shit is going to come down.

    Tree Swing - Rope and Anchor Tie

    I have been called in to remove probably close to a dozen over the years, by the State forest. Worst one was over a cliff by the sea, with a 50 foot fall onto boulders. In a scetchy tree, no less. I looked down while I was up there and thought of Darwin. As in: " WHAT THE FUG WHERE THEY...

    We finished spraying for Giant Pine Weevils. No more 12000 step days with a backpack sprayer. Now we are dealing with Bracken Fern with scythes............and it is warm. Got a shitload of logging lined up for summer, that helps :)

    Yep, you can buy Pizza topping here, that never came out of a cow. I'd post an ingredient list if any of you were fluent in Danish.

    Bird Watching!

    We must have been working in a migrating corridor today. Had some hundred Barnacle Geese passing on their way to Svalbard ( I know that, because the Greenland corridor is further to the west) 6 Honey Buzzards on the way to Sweden and an Eagle on the way to god only knows.

    O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

    "An experienced tree climber" Compared to who, exactly? You are hanging with some of the top people in the treeclimbing business, here. Apparently you consider yourself an equal, who can go on Youtube and teach "how to climb". We have many members here who have been climbing trees way longer...

    How'd it go today?

    A couple of years ago I totally thrashed my anno 1846 apple tree in order to keep it from disintegrating. Posted pictures here and I think Sean suggested that I put some struts under it. Well, the farrier's horse and the shoemaker's kids and all that. Finally got around to it.

    What Are You Drinking Tonight?

    Good that you like them, John. Eventually I'll find the rarest one and send it to you. Made from the fermented and distilled roots of blue Gentian. There are only 2 small distilleries in Schweiz that still make it. No luck so far, but eventually I'll find it.
