This is that big lower branch. With no good straights to salvage, I’m just gonna leave it to rot there to preclude hangers-on from the car-living colony up the road from pulling in and setting up

\n

Aaand, 10 minutes after posting this a guy in a van pulled up, got out, moved it, and drives in.

Then after 5 minutes he got out, and started a fucking chainsaw.

So I ran out to yell, turns out he was actually the 60-something brother of the guy behind me, old stock Cascadian tree-cutter, eventually we work to the same page and he does a lot of power chopping, I convince him that some of how I’m dumping wood behind Blueberry Hill is to prevent rain from flooding the neighbor’s yard and using his woodsman authority he convinces the neighbor wife, and what seemed like it was gonna be the worst episode yet of dealing with the car campers turned out to be a sudden bonus to the tree trimming
