I have a monthly expense account and an American Express card and have to account for my spending,,,sometimes I am not frugal for the right reasons, (like not buying Vietnamese knives for a morbark) but I can justify my spending.

The Vietnamese knives because of quality or politics ??? Just curious

I have posted here in the past with pic's of the knives that have broke,,inferior steel,,no politic's,,there is a reason the knives from Morbark are twice the price than Zenith knives. I hear all Vermeer chippers come stock with Zenith but if I ever get a Vermeer,(not), I would buy USA made steel.

You're talking about Simmonds knives right?
 
Is that a 650 Climbhightree ? I just bought one and haven't had any time to use it much. Seems like a decent size piece you dropped.
Yep the 650tx.

Sugar maple log about 20" by 5'....guessing. It was the full with of a ford fusion.

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Another dead tree. 32"DBH 140 ft dead white fir leaning over cabin. Not leaning back real hard, still climbed it and put a line in.
Was able to work a labor trade with a lot guy who had a mini skid steer to move it out of the backyard. In return had to go drop two more dead fir trees for him. I remember back before all the trees were dead.....
 
Cat rescue is officially NOT a specialty of the MDS. I don't think he's gonnna try that again any time soon. I don't have the patience to type the whole story, but suffice it to say that hinging the branch the cat is on down onto the one below it (in hopes that the vicious little ***** would climb onto that and scamper down) turned out to be a bad bet. "Gigi" bailed and just missed a boulder 20' down. "Reeeowww... Ka-thump", is probably not the sound of a successful cat rescue, ideally. Thing ran off after that. I hope it's alright.

I told them it would come down on its own eventually, but they didn't wanna hear it. Lol.
