    Did a storm restoration trim, removed two mostly dead silver maples and planted 2 new red maple variety trees to replace the 2 we took out. Got back to the yard, split 2 rick of oak firewood and made 2 deliveries. Cold wet weather is coming in, i think the firewood is fixing to pick up a little.

    Had a good hard freeze here last nite so ALL the leaves are now falling, especially the fruitless mulberrys. We had some to trim today and the leaves falling sounded like rain drops. It was pretty cool to hear. Dam leaves are the one thing i hate about fall.

    How'd it go today?

    did a bunch of stump grinding today finishing up jobs started earlier last week and this. Im hoping my breakdowns are done for a while. on the sycamore subject, the stuff is crap to split for firewood. It has to be really dry and even then it can split off weird.
