Path to the Wood Chipper

Larry ordered a wood chipper.  It was the one he was looking at since the aspens were cut down last fall.  When the mail order company put it on sale he ordered it.  Happy Birthday, Mother's day, Father's day, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year 2019!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Phil took down the overgrown honeysuckle hedge in West Allis.  That will produce a nice thick hedge in 19 months when we sell the West Allis house and practice material for the new chipper.  The photo is both husband and son testing the limitations of the tool.  This April 17 test drive provided chips for the West Allis garden.

The chipper had to be drop shipped to a truck depot.  Depots do not want your stuff clogging their docks.  There was a finite amount of time to pick up the new tool.  

The trailer was snowed in, in the Wausaukee garage for the winter.  The snow blower was in the West Allis garage.  Just the right size to fit on the trailer.  Too big for the SUV. 

My tough distance runner hand shoveled the snow on March 17, 2019 to bring the trailer back.  I want to say the snow had too much freeze thaw in it's history to move it with the snow scoop.  The tool used was a shovel.  I am going to guess and say it is the plastic one in the Wausaukee garage that now has a horizontal crack in it was his tool of choice.

Yes the distance is about 2 city blocks long.

  

March 30, 2019.  My first trip back to Wausaukee since I dropped off the SMILE milk cans in January. There is still snow on the ground in Wausaukee, but the driveway was clear enough for my car.
