Damn Cory, you might have just have moved us closer to the climate crisis we all face (grin). Was it a highly valuable veneer log? Kidding of course.

Biggie twiggy has all the cool stuff!
Yes indeed, there were at least 3 good veneer logs cut out of it. I used a new log truck guy this time, he took em for free, my regular guy would have charged $400-500 to get rid of the big logs. New guy sells the fat, good logs to Amish in PA, smaller good logs to Canadians.
Re climate issue, I first calculated the loss of carbon storage the tree removal would cause and added that to the carbon released by fossil fuel use during the tree removal, and compared those figures to the resources and energy in kcal required to rebuild half of my house and half of the neighbor's house should the tree fail in a storm, added in the funeral and burial costs in both dollars and kcal of 1.5 deaths likely resulting from the tree failure, and multiplied that number by the current risk percentage associated with the link between sudden climate change and extreme weather events. I concluded tree removal was the most earth friendly action to take.
Biggy Twiggy- when that slogan came out 20+ years ago, it was indeed amusing, but now it's kinda ho hum. Plus, I'm still attached to another sweat shirt that runs circles around that slogan, my buddy came out with it in the mid eighties, remember when making your own tee shirt slogan was a thing with iron on letters? Lotta peeps really got in his face when he would wear it out to the bars

Stine had a T-shirt that said
“Save the whales, for dinner!”
It turned a lot of heads and she received a fair few funny looks for wearing it.
