Ditto on the wilt. Anyone who shows concern employs everything possible and most infected stands are apoptic from the variety of treatment choices prescribed. Terminal velocity increased, mad landowners, happy but gone contractors, and here I drive up facing a mentality that's so ignorant and upset my dog doesn't want to ride along anymore.
That's why takedowns are so attractive and replacements the thrust of my work - but even that presents risk....people don't care for young 'uns you ask them to baby along. Like fast food and no taxes, they only want easy street here.

Cheap land along the Rio Grande north of Terlingua. 29.00 per acre, it's right up your kayak preferences. Look it up. Mountains and wild goats and young verile Tejas natives running about. Well, maybe. You have to buy them from their father's but with goat traps and old climbing ropes.....
Certainly still be here - got a chipper to justify being buzy, and before you leave Germany maybe dig around for some low-level long term investment opportunities, the fiscal future there over time certainly has more promise than here. You'll notice too the older your shoulders get from working colder hours in frosty surroundings makes a Tecate w' lime and an Enchilada on Sixth St. sound pretty darn sweet. I'll get the first round.
Later.
