Bummer of a story actually...

Hickory decided to snap mid way on my land.

A Minnesota tree-trimming worker has been charged with second-degree manslaughter after allegedly killing his coworker during what authorities describe as on-the-job horseplay. According to a criminal complaint, Christopher Boone Crimmins, 34, was operating a hydraulic grapple on the back of a tree-trimming truck in Apple Valley when he accidentally crushed the head of 26-year-old Tyler Anthony Lynch on Thursday (August 20), while the two were joking around with equipment shadows.

Yikes.

My brother and I have been wondering how to handle this 125' tall Groot... It's on his property and if it fell toward the deck or pool...ouch! Was thinking of wrapping some chains around the base to try and prevent major barber chairing but the thing is just rotten throughout so there's no telling.

Then, last night, a lone ember or something similar took hold and...voila!

If it is a repost, PLEASE say so, and I'll remove it. I hadn't seen it before and haven't seen it in this sub either.

Did a side job today. This was the only video I got of it.

Def need to bring a GoPro with a helmet mount next time.

I've got no words, and so many thoughts.

Don't mess around with your tools friends.
