I was in Colorado when Y'all had the big fire last fall and haven't been that way in a while, did it get the lost Pines State Forest, saw an add on craigslist austin for tree fellers and Arborist in Bastrop, are you the one on the San Morcos side on TX21 on the left, saw a tree service there, cool we are supposed to be rain free till friday night, just fog this morning, ground is saturated though rained all night fri all day sat and til daylight sunday, yea our crane opp in Colorado showed me that trick if it is leaning out do your under cut then your over bypass down stem from the under while he has tip wieght so when he loads the line for snap it sets in that snap knotch while he "stands it up" to avoid roll, swing, and shock loading, I have done it like blocking it down on small stuff with my little bucket van too cut it like I am going to block it down with a good bypass cutt then go up to center on it with the bucket to remove with out swing or bounce, does he have crane or Alomo Crane Service,
