He'll be 92, and is in guarded health. Has trouble with some short term memory, but doing pretty well. However, he did just get diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Not something that you can cure and not likely to die from directly, but by catching pneumonia or something like it. Plus my wife just got diagnosed with another very small spot of cancer.
Go with Eric and explain to your wife afterwards that you were abducted by a crazed game warden.
and that you managed to escape with no tickets and only slight mental anguish
That might work!
Slight might be an understatement after that
Was it on private land? Do you have a local contact there? Almost seems too good to pass up! Chuck
ok, mental derangement
True. Guess it would have to be crated for shipment.
Awesome lumber! Realize you will cut it up into blanks. Congrats! Chuck
Congrats! Never heard of Chinese Holly, but sounds fun! Chuck
Don't know anything about it either, but would you post some pictures when you cut up that crotch piece. I've got a couple of walnut ones and if I do it like others (remove the pith) the blank will be real shallow.
Wonder if the landscaper is educated? Hear folks call Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) Chinese holly. However, Ilex cornuta is more often called by that name in his area (NC).
