Hope yours was better than mine, Ford. I was scheduled to work the weekend prior and after my birthday, and my birthday (mid-week). Oh, work bought a cake, but it was eaten before I arrived at the office. Fuckers.

Last year we cut down an oak tree that was threatening to damage the house.
(Yes, it animated itself like an Ent and said "Hey IG, I'm big and scary and I'm going to damage your house.") I am looking forward to not having catkins all over the yard this year.

...aaaaaaaand the stump grinding machine showed up this morning ... the guy from the rental store was kind enough to take it right back without charging me for delivery. "The larger one" was only $100 more, but I wasn't expecting something huuuuuuuuge that was capable of destroying everything in a half mile radius.

The stumps will live for a few more weeks, but so will I. :(

Never did a stump grinder. I have however rented one of these:

Big chipper, nice chipper. Don't pull my arm off chipper. Makes short work of a huge pile of brush, but makes you feel like you could be involved in a "Fargo" incedent at any moment when near the in-take bit of it.

Haha, my old man was cutting down some problem tree up at his cabin and the shit fell into a power line. All you hear is some chainsaw action and just a "no.nononononononononononnNONONONO... FUCK!"

Heh, yeah. My ex has this long near 1 mile-long driveway (yes, he lives in the "country") and was bringing in gravel or some such with one of those bucket trucks. Seems they often travel with the bucket up....not necessarily the smartest of moves when on a gravel driveway in the middle of the woods.

Needless to say, apparently it got tangled in some trees and he ended up having to cut off the tops to free it up.

Oops.
