Yes.

 

Still good going for a man of your maturity and seniority. Four and a half hours for the whole thing would have been very, very good going.

In fairness, I only had one groundy, who deserves some credit.

 

Lot of big limbs to process on his own (Avant does help of course)

And modest to boot. I reckon you're quietly a pretty good climber from what I've seen on here.

Best make sure you wear your "special occasion panties" to the next APF in case you bump into him, if you'll pardon the pun.

Oh give up, you bellend. A fellow can say something nice without wanting to hold his hand.

Very decent size oak to take down.

Nice short butt, saw just a tiny bit short too.

I know and agree. Doesn't mean I can't make a joke about you fancying him though.

Well spotted, 572, maybe just long enough, but I bolloxed it up coming in from the shed side.

Had fibre pull out of the felled butt, which would likely have got me  told off if I was a commercial faller.

If you were a commercial feller the cut would have been at ground level and the butt a bit longer.

Have we got a "trees eating things" thread? I had a quick look, couldn't find anything. 

 

 

Took the tops off two sycamorewhile the fellas chipped, ringed, and split a windblown multistem cyprus, a day and a half. Then went for a drive over the hill to find some windblown spruce and birch. Just rings, no chips or splits.

New jeep is earning her keep.
