Spring is a great time to remove huge dead trees from the fence line before they fall on it. JC is just the man for the job.
The tractor was set to roll after days of freeze plug replacement. And of course the battery decided to give up the ghost. But we got it going.
Before. JC up a neighbor.
After.
The supervisor.
Down she goes. Tractor pulled it the right way.
Possibly more impressive was removing a snag from a tree on the trail. You can see the snag on the right.

After around 8 hours of work (times 2.25 people), the distinguished tree is dismantled. Plenty of firewood for next winter and wood for the solstice fire too!

Wood piles
Almost as tall as Ame.
Several cords (splitter required)
Solstice wood (several piles like this)
Butt log
Base by the ball (over 36 inches)
An interesting joint.
