Morning all... We had one of the most saturating dews this morning that I've seen in awhile... I don't want to jinx us, but I hope we'll be getting an early fall.

We had a heavy fog yesterday morning. Was good to see after being so hot and dry! Trying to rain a little right now...
Yup, deputy daughter is working a checkpoint tonite. She don't know where.
A good indication is that they catche the orange traffic cones at the specified location a couple days ahead of time.

Mike, does blue lettering with a blue racing stripe down the side on white count? It will be getting a paint job this winter. Hum, since "Geni" bought out Marklift I guess I could paint it blue, hum....
This is not the one I got but is a fair representation of it.
I took the lift directly to a job about 40 minutes away from me & didn't think to take my camera. I will be going back later this week to finish taking down a a fairly good sized mulberry tree. It is next to a garage with power lines going through it on 2 sides. I am about halfway done. Having to cut a lot of the limbs in to 12-16" long pieces so I can control them as I cut them down. Only about 1/4 of the tree has a clear area below it to just let the limbs drop. Makes for slow going. I'd guess the trunk is close to 30" at chest height.
Mighty handy piece of equipment to have! Now I will have to build a heavy duty trailer to haul it with. I borrowed a friend's 20,000 pound goose neck trailer with tandem dual 10,000 lbs axles, but I think when I build I will be going with 12,000 axles & 14 ply/load range "G" tires.

Hedge, how ugly can you get? You can definitely bury a long bar in some of them!

A trader I know stopped by this afternoon, he had a old Titan similar to the last one I bought. It was missing the fuel tank, but had a like new chain on it. I give him 15 dollars and carried it to the house.
Me and the boys split, stacked, cleaned up the mess, and sold 1.33 cord today of some red oak. The guy saw me haul it in a month ago. Before I could get it off my trailer he said he wanted all of it. I told him it is green; he said "I don't care". I think I am going up a little on my cord prices next year. What do you guys get for a cord--picked up, not delivered?

Ugly is about all that grows out there in the hedgerows...
Cool! Now you have two of them pups no one can lift.
