Had this rather large Ash tree break off at ground level and fall over and get hung up in one of my good producing Maples. I carefully & quickly removed the bag holder and another one you can't see to a large Sugar Maple I hadn't tapped in a couple years. I had one eye on that Ash and was listening for any cracking sound just in case that tree decided to finish it's travel to the ground. Whew!!

The wife, the cat, the chickens…they’re all happy.
Dashed my plans for camping out in front of the woodstove, though.
Not sure how I feel about that, was almost looking forward to it.
Of course, my luck, an ant would have crawled out of the wood pile and tried to take up residence in my ear. Would’ve ruined the whole experience.
Bah, best I just went to bed. I’m getting a little long in the tooth for those types of shenanigans anyway.
