Naw, I gotta 029 that'll keep up with that 88. . . Granted, it's wearing a 2" bar! Hahahahaha

Good to see ya pokin' around Ol Pat! :clap:
 
Here's a nice stick I got in June of 08. Was a full length snag that had to come down either in or out of control. If it had fallen out of control it would have side windered half a dozen smaller 3-5' firs over a well traveled road. As a matter of fact 14,000 school kids travel it a year. I can't think of a worse visual than having a bus load of kids hit by a tree like this. This is the same road that SlowP referred to as having a man killed in 09 by a falling tree.

Hell of a stick! I would have paid to see that one in person.
 
Yeah, when it went the whole thing came down over the stump about 40 feet up. Got a little up my neck on that one. About 40-50 feet up it turned into the most beautiful clear yellow fir you've ever seen. It's still laying there, rotting. I had two video cameras on that one as I figured it would be the last really big fir I'd ever fall. Also had a still photographer that took about 450 still pics. Pretty impressive when it went.
 
Nice pics Sam! Good to see I'm not the only one in winter still. 2-3 inches of snow on the ground today with occasional thunder. The snow turned to freezing rain and now its startin to firm up for the night.

The latest snowfall I can remember was about 20 years ago on May 15. We got about a foot that day and a lot of trees came down. I was nearly squished that day by a Maple in my back yard.

It's getting a bit old...I drag the winter boots to work until about June 15th for back up. One of the worst snow storms I've ever been in was on June 6th a few years ago. It snowed about 3 feet on the job that day. I've never seen my tent wetter of flatter.
