Gotta buy private sale. Dealers hose ya. Plenty of decent trucks out there if you're patient. Too bad most of em have 3' beds though. Glorified mini vans.
RIP. Some of my best morel spots were around ashes. I've got a few hundred board feet milled and a few 3' logs left. Ash will be in short supply in just a few years, sad.
Plenty of oaks left here. Seemed to me like certain parts of town for hit a lot harder than others. I drove on the mass pike at some point whenever that was and it was slaughter there compared to where I'm at.
Procrastinating cutting a triple maple on the edge of my yard for that reason. Gotta cut em individually even if it's awkwardly high. That one dead from the ash borer?
My buddy has over 1000 peach trees. Always a risk in SNE but the killing frosts have been more frequent. No peaches for the past two years. He's on a hill. Could be one of those rare low lying hills I suppose.
Some folks just born to complain. I've found the key for myself is to balance out the hope with an equal amount of dread. Just gotta load up on unpaid snow removal responsibilities, that ought to do it for all the whiners- give em a silver lining.
Making hot cocoa on the wood stove after sledding and my daughter just said this is the best day ever. Pope grinding his teeth in his basement. A wonderful day.
