A trimming Saturday...

unpack the chainsaw

Flip the lines over the branches
trim Krimpit

recruit a dangling trimmer...
trim branches
move on to the next dangling branch to trim.

Krimpit & Tootsie were too embarrased to pose for photos after they were trimmed

adios

Interesting pics, Pea. How appropriate that you just happened to have a prop illustrating Krimpet & Tootsies' sensitive feelings; you're such a good uncle!

Tis the season to thin the forrests.. the brave tree climbers are everywhere in our neighborhood..In fact, we just contracted to have our Black Walnut tree, totally removed from our backyard..after 25yrs of picking up tennis ball sized walnuts, ugh...decided we've had enuf..neighbors are very happy with our decision...gonna chop it up and burn it for heat!
Men,men,men, men...looking forward to watching the Tree Guys do their thang..50ft.up in da air! Keep ya posted, Pea.

A woodworker I know tells me you might want to hold on to some of the Black Wanut.
He says it goes upwards of $20.00 a board foot (a piece 4" wide x 12" long).

In the right hands, Black Walnut makes for some beautiful funiture/carpentry pieces ...
Just given' you a Heads-up here Forrest Stump

Roger that, Pea.. I keep hearing that BLACK WALNUT is worth something..but just try to find someone to pay you for it! Maybe I'll save a nice piece for a guitar back and sides...always wanted to be a LUTHIER!..."I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok..sleep all nite and I work all day!"
