That is a really nice looking truck.

Thank you, I've owned it since 08, bought it with 13k miles and it has around 110k miles on it now. Something about getting in it and rowing through the gears always makes me smile.
 
Took the family to the redneck supershow in South Gastonia this afternoon. Would have been a great hour long show, but they stretch it out to 3hrs by repeatedly introducing the drivers and counting down and talking. Guess they are trying to sell merchandise and food instead of actually just offering a good show for $40/ticket...

After an hour of dragging it out, they had a "halftime " which was nearly an hour of nothing, and little man said F this, I'm out!

Took down this maple last weekend.

Needed some mulch for the kids play area, so everything from about 8ft up came to the house. Finally made time to chip it this evening, and got to really put the winch to work on the chipper.

Why did the maple have to come down? Homeowners want to feel like they were in a brand new subdivision and hated the idea of a tree over 6ft?

Base was rotten.

Once I got it cut, it was worse than it looked initially. About 60% of the center was rotten at the base, and the rot was several feet up. Also, it was starting to bust and crack the driveway and sidewalk, but those were secondary concerns and the homeowner would have left it if it was healthy.
 
Noticed one of the trees in the MIL's yard is dead.

Anyone know what kind of tree it is? I was told on FB sugarberry. Hack Berry came up in a google search.
 
Looks like Hackberry. The intarwebs says sugarberry is the same thing.

C’mon. You’re supposed to walk it up. Have it flip over/down on you at least 3x. Cuss a lot. Drink a beer then sketchily climb it to secure the straps.

My 14yr old son helped me put it up the first time. They aren't heavy, I thought. They sure as hell are when on a 19' lever! We didn't drop or flip it though. That was a positive.
