Cleaning up a dead oak and while playing with my dogs and I decided to fell 2 others that the tops broke out of.

This job began as storm damaged trees and while cleaning up that mess I decided to go ahead and clean up the rest of the trees that were standing, diseased, carpenter ant damaged; these are the trees that had tops knocked out from the storm but already weakened by the ants. All 3 trees are Chestnut Oak.

Every morning my dogs and I go for a walk around our place, we look for animals and tracks, as well as other signs of critters while we play and have fun. A tired Ridgeback is a Good Ridgeback.

I'm cutting up a mix of aspen, oak, and maple with a Stihl 461 with 32" bar, I don't like having to bend over to cut stuff on the ground and that bar size keeps me from having to do so. I also run 16", 18", and 20" bars on this same saw for different cutting applications of work.
