Lantern flies? Don't think we have those, sounds like we don't want them either.

That's a few pics from the weekend gig .
I should have taken some befores.
The grounds guys do the chipping , they don't like how much work I make for them , they can't keep up along with their regular work.
The grounds guys take the harwood home along with some Spruce .
They pile what they don't want at the entrance for the patrons to take what they want .
The birdhouses had to be unscathed and the spruce had 3 dead leaders plus branches above it .
Cutting along a fenceline sucks .
60 gallons of mix through the KM110, FS550 and the 241 to date .
Not cutting but planting today. 2 pear trees one apple and a plum to go with one I planted a few years ago . And the neighbor who I give apple too dropped off 6 one liter bottles of fresh cider. 
But I did scrounge up a couple dozen of wild Paw Paw fruit . Real good stuff if you haven’t had it it’s tastes like a mango with banana . 
Never had pawpaw , thot it was just a nursery rhyme lol
Since this course was built on an old homestead/farm , it has plenty of apple trees .
I scrounged up the good tasting ones and the wife made a pie for thanks giving

Looks like chilly mornings on dancans end of Canada. Here in the People's Republic of Ontario it was a balmy 24°C with a humidex of 29. That's 75 or so Fahrenheit. Not exactly wood weather in my book.
One of my boys got a job that requires him to pull a trailer so we did some trailer training today. Harvested my apples this weekend. A friend was pressing some so we joined in on the fun and got some juice out of our windfalls and seconds. My daughter and I on the left and my friend Lou operating the press. Best apple juice ever!

Tried out my new new ghillie suit. Can anybody spot me?
Sometimes to kill a tree, you must first become a tree.
I used that to plunge in from the clean side, because it was a 28 and the saw was already wearing it, then I cut out on the dirty side throwing the dirt out of the cut. Then I used my 440 with an old beat up 24 and a stumping chain(last sharpening) to finish it off. The chain on the husky is still sharp and ready to cut, the stihl chain is going in the trash. Another thing, I wouldn't have been able to cut the road side as close with a wrap handle saw.
That being said, if I had to do it I would just do it, especially if it's for a client. Normally I bring two 70cc saws along when I'm going to be flush cutting so I can keep the pretties pretty
.Hopefully I can list a few nice ones and a few not as nice ones to get some more cash for the barn, everything to get up to the trusses came today
.
Not a ton in my county Steve (Delaware). Maybe saw 3-4 total this year? Nothing compared to last year, that’s for sure.

Hi. Been months. Did I miss anything?
The usual. 500 pages and about 4 actual scrounging posts.Hi. Been months. Did I miss anything?
Since the cops in Baltimore are dragging their feet for me to get my saws back I had to break down today. Good deal from my saw shop so I just HAD to.
I finished splitting all of the splittable silvertop ash (which is not an ash but a eucalypt) before I left my parents' place on Sunday. There were a few noodleables left that Dad was going to tend to. He finished stacking yesterday. That's how scrounging should be - do the cutting and splitting and someone else does the loading and stacking.
Be sure to report on that cream puff. Inquiring minds want to know!Since the cops in Baltimore are dragging their feet for me to get my saws back I had to break down today. Good deal from my saw shop so I just HAD to.

Nice! Produce prices been ok, have they FS? Can't wait for the review!
That's a lot of d@mn pepper picking Cowboy. Might be a bit for the review. Gonna be extra warm the next couple of days and I have lots to get ready for the local farmer's fair.
Steve, does your saw shop not do other colours? For real saws like? 
Enjoy
@Cowboy254 good effort! That looks a pretty huge pile for a single scrounge!
