Few postings

Busy

More time logging, but making progress.
Maybe quarter of the stand trimmed of "standing dead"

Good exercise, and you have to pay attention because sometimes these "standing dead" have different ideas about where to fall than I do.

So it becomes all about stepping out of the way, watching for the saw.
Then, if the pole gets hung up in branches of a healthy tree, you have to horse it around to fall, sometimes making some more cuts (carefully) to get it to move.

Haven't taken a tape, but some are 50-60 ft or more in height.

Satisfaction in anticipation of how much better the whole stand will look in a few years.
Sort of large scale gardening...
