For those that read my reviews you'll know I've been fighting this tree. It was in a part of the yard I couldn't get any machines to so I had to do it by hand. Tonight, I got it out but I still have the hole itself to clean out. About 20 hours of digging, chopping, sawing and pushing so far into it. The trunk is 28" across.

Congrats bruddah! Makes me ache looking at it and remembering similar escapades.

Followed by a dram of something special, I'm sure.

I see our resident spell-checker can't spell tough.

That'll teach me to try to post WITHOUT using my reading glasses

I'd rather chop one down then dig one out but I've done both to more than a few. This is the first one I've dug out in about 10 years. Getting old is a bitch. :0

Andrew, like the feat of stupidity, nice blister.

I explored some of your other writings on the site and particularly like the story about the tobaccochino. What kind of burr grinder do you have there, I want to ditch my blade grinder and get a burr.

I believe in South Africa they ferment a tobacco liquid when they produce their moonshine "skokiaan". In college a South African native professor described this drink to be soo potent that you consume it by a wetting your finger and licking it. Perhaps you could supply Tony Bones with a new liquid to run through his still?
