I'm allergic, but not to the point of anaphylactic shock (like my grandfather was) -- more just swelling, hives, discomfort, possible shortness of breath.
Easy 1/2 day today -- I dismantled a red bud out front (leaving all wood) while we set up out back in the alley with the grapple truck. Took down a walnut, piece by piece -- grappled or craned out with slings. Very light chipping duty, Got a few keeper logs out of the deal for milling. Neighbors were highly impressed, want us back for an ash and a Siberian elm removal. Then off to greet a friend moving back into the area, nice social time this evening, his family & mine.
