We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Found a live, healthy 20" oak down today for that reason. That oak's not keeping my dog corralled though. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

Seems like about the nastiest possible chainsaw job what with all the needles and goop flying everywhere.
