I try and carry them or trailer them ,if they end up getting gravel or mud I bark them .

This is a good way to destroy the front bearings and seals so I don't carry large ones far any more.

I wasn't able to roll this 18' log without the help of a come-along. Filling an order for 2x10 & 2x8 longer than I preferer to saw.

If your log was a knife, even Paul Hogan would be impressed!!!

My Dad had his maples "topped". Three years later, they were dead, and had to be removed. The same guys that topped them charged him for removal. Damn shame!

When I did tree work, I'd refuse to top trees. You'd be amazed how mad people would get because I wouldn't make their trees weaker.

One of our neighbors took a stroll through the door yard this morning just to make sure we were still OK.

It's nice to know someone is checking up on you, I usually get contacted daily only about my extended car warranty...

I'm sure this is more common for you guys in the Vermont/NH/Maine States, at least more so than us, but there is a Village down here that was visited by a moose, not once, but twice!!! The last time was 2018, the previous one was about 2010. I don't think they knew if it was the same one or just a coincidence. For reference, the Village is an hour South of the Mass/CT Border, and 1/2 hour West.

We get these dang things all over the place.

Usually healthier looking. I think that is molting fur, not a sickness. Same as the one on
the right in the first pic and that was a couple weeks later than the bottom pic.

The ticks cause that. They rub against trees trying to get the blood thirsty buggers off, ending up with spots in their fur. I've seen them nearly bare, and when it starts raining they can't stay warm and die. You wouldn't think that such a small pest could kill such a big animal, but they do.

Got started cutting up and splitting the trees I had taken down near my house. Douglas fir. Skeans mentiined a while back that as the Doug Fir trees out here get older they harden up. Note the wide growth rings when young that change to narrow when older. That explains his comment.
