I enjoy the arborist most of all for clearing my property (If you know my call sign you can look me up on QRZ.com). This place is a mess of dead cedar from the droughts in South Texas.BillBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593147581583316765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-28566547273643767482021-03-29T12:36:34.161-07:002021-03-29T12:36:34.161-07:00Yep.
