One of the 200 year-old maples near my house is going to go down today. In spite of having a lot of life in it, it has had extensive insect damage (ants) and is pretty much a hollow trunk. We have an 20" branch drop off it a couple years ago (knocked out power for a couple days). Just got the bad news that the town is saying it's ours,not theirs. FTBTL (for the big time loss). :(

You may want to deal with those ants right away, My brother in law took down a couple ant infested trees around his house and ended up with the ants in the house as they scurry to look for another shelter......

Agreed...they'll march right into his house like a Tom & Jerry cartoon. Kill 'em all.

Its so depressing waking up in the dark this time of year, no birds chirping, just death and silence, time change will be welcome next month. All time warmest new england autumn is the goal, then snappa da rubber band and a snowy holiday season.

Nice day today, beautiful sw winds on Thursday and a mega torch, zero below normal weather as far as the eye can see :thumbsup:

Bust. Wall to wall overcast and much cooler than expected today :whistle:
