I about sludged my shorts. working in a grove of dead and dying B. Locust cutting up one of the down ones when I hear the "snap, pop, crack" of a tree starting to fall right near me. Took a quick look to see which way was the exit. Nope, not a tree coming down but the stump of a downed one I had cut up a week ago standing back up. Took a bit to get the heart rate down to countable level. I did get two more 20" diameter rounds off of it since they were now up out of the dirt.
Was the first really nice day all spring temps low 70s then, 78 now. Decided to make a quick trip to pick up the log I was working on (small but got a 1/3 load out of it) for some weight over the wheels then proceed on to a dead locust snag I felled two years ago. Wasn't able to pull it off the hill then. Chained it up and tried but no good, Cut it in thirds and pulled it down to the road. Had planned to cut it up too but I was already played out. Left it to cut up at some later date.
