Always looking to improve my tree felling skill set, Billy. What "non-approved methods" did you use?
The method I used won't improve your skillset, just the opposite.

The top (about 50 feet up) was caught in the "arms" of another bigger oak. I cut rounds off the standing bottom of my leaning tree, shortening it with a thud as it dropped 18 inches, which made the leaning angle less acute, one section at a time, until it was 90 degrees and much shorter, and it then fell backwards from its original lean.

Good evening all. 30F for the start, mostly clear sky, light breeze. Light wind today, sky mostly clear to partly cloudy, and high temp was 63F, DP 28F. No rain in 10 day 3-4 days of fire in insert:). Men's meeting to start day, then on roof to take Christmas light down. Did get nap in . Took wife to dinner in town, and noticed smoke but did not smell anything, too dry for haze.

I’ve done that.

Good Dr visit for Sophie, said healing was coming great. Next appointment 3 weeks, cut steroid drops back to 4x day.

Rest of errands done, but longer day than anticipated. Replacement keg of Porter in the tap.

good morning all.
up too early, David is just going to bed....good news on Sophie.

glad to report a mini heat wave arriving today, 27 going up to 47 today and above freezing for next two days.
Two things planned for today, a trip to church this afternoon to do a full service on an electric utility cart. We bought it used, didn't
have a manual, though I'm sure it's online. I don't think our caretaker has ever looked for front end zerks so I'm taking my grease gun with me.
Plus I'll clean and top off the batteries, and leave him an automatic battery filler which will motivate him more than his current turkey baster.

have 50 daffodil bulbs to plant, wanted to do that this morning but ground needs to thaw a little, which it will over next day. So more likely tomorrow.
Unlike RS who remembers his plant names perfectly, which he surely needs to keep his amazing hosta straight, I just buy/plant by color. And mostly whether they are deer proof.
Makita cordless drill and plant auger makes the job easy, but even a steak knife has problems cutting through a frozen steak.

amaryllis inside starting to bloom. One of my favorite house plants. Got them to grow outside in NC, barely, no way here. They'll go in the basement when done.
