Still see it every once and awhile around here. Fortunately most of those 2 drunks and a truck outfits have kilt themselves off. I still see topping frequently when I travel down south. Mainly notice it because I think its ugly as fork and a huge mistake for tree management.

Here's a couple of pics of two trees on a property that I got a call about last fall. Both eucalyptus, but different varieties.

The one at the front of the property was topped and left with regrowth gone wild. To understand the size, the trunk is as wide as my mid-size SUV, the vertical stems at the crotch are 30" diameter and the overall height is somewhere in the 100ish foot range and is just as wide. So, each of these regrowth sprouts turned into trees on top of one massive stump. It was an effing hot mess. These types require a crane to clean up and the bill is massive. None of the verticals were straight either. They all had significant lean. Picking limbs with the crane isn't much of an option as there's no place to set them down, and of course there's powerlines, a house below and a shed with antique cars under the tree.

The second is a tree that was never topped, but instead was left with a main stem intact. The first tree is a repeat offender for dropping limbs, whereas the second isn't, except for dead stuff which could be avoided with annual TLC.


This one does have a big fork near the center of the stem, but it appears natural to me.

I wish Our guys are actually doing rotating strikes right now with now after hours call outs. Waiting on some managers to figure out what what they are supposed to do next.

We had some of those power worker strikes a few years back. They would just randomly cut the power for hours. After some people ended up stuck in elevators between floors that chit had to stop.

I got a friend, she gets all the unsold bread and cakes from a bakery. Yum-yum.
Every 2 or 3 days I gets a WhatsApp of the stuff leftover. I have to limit myself to about 10 cakes a a loaf of bread,

this time I gotta small french stick with olives, and I’ve had 3 cakes for breakfast ..
I see me getting fatter in the near future.

Cutting the trees down Dave the direct approach I like it that’ll piss em off

He's had enough of his neighbors and their friends.
He started posting his land last year when
They kept riding utvs past his deer stand
During hunting season
They realllly pissed him off when the hit a downed tree he was setting against and had his rifle laying against
Knocking it over
It got tense.
He wanted me to drop tree's at some access roads
I don't want any part of it.

Well that sucks it’s bad enough when the power goes out and people get caught in elevators.Let enough just turning the power off to prove the point and hold everyone to ransom.

Sadly, these spammers have figured out how to get around our approval process. I'm the only one who approves new members, and I didn't approve this person.....or the last few spammers either.
