My neighbor recently trimmed the red maple in their yard and today it was weeping like crazy.More than likely if it's budding already it is silver maple...

I've had both red and silver that were twisted as all get out.
The rest of oakzilla..been chipping away at it, but it is sloowww going having to shave the bark and punky wood off first on every..single..round. Plus so many of the pieces have double or triple hearts/branch noggins in them.
Can't wait to get done so I can go back to getting cleaner straighter woods trees, much easier splitting.
There were no leaves under the tree at all?Ive got a vid of me dropping it, it might give it away, lemme upload.
Pretty soon the snow will be all gone and one of my favorite times of year will be here.
I love the spring because there are no tourists, the woods and lakes are quiet, nothing else going on, and the weather is mild enough to work in long sleeves without breaking a sweat.
I have 2 cords in rounds sitting at my house, another 4 cords in rounds at the neighbor's yard (all about 50/50 aspen/maple) and about 2 cords of log length aspen in the woodlot.
At the hunting cabin I have a cord of geriatric aspen in/around my yard, a cord of Norway pine rounds in the woods (noodling material), and a host of dying/dead/windfall birch and maple to work up. In addition I am still working on widening my access road so there are probably a half dozen plus trees to count for another 2 cords.
Guess that will keep me busy in the spring and well into the summer.
I would like to have about 10 cords CSS by fall. Should be a reasonable goal.
What are you guys working on?
