I watched it slowly work its way across our woods across the road from my house about 6-7 years ago. No real big ash trees over there, so I wasn't terribly worried about them. Really didn't want to see it behind my house though, as I have huge ash trees along the river flats up to about 40" diameter. I started noticing them dying off shortly after it made its way across the woods across the road. Before they went to total waste, I timbered about 45 very large ash trees that had real nice logs, better than turning them into firewood. I still have hundreds of ash trees I've been working at for the last few years, up to about 30". Most sawmills are taking a lot of ash right now, dead trees, before they actually become punky. Most of you know how long they'll last standing, until the roots rot off and they tip over. With that said, if you cut an ash tree, when it starts to get the sucker leaves on the trunk, it will have sucker trees growing from the stump. I'm sort of hoping by continuing to do that, I'll have some left until they figure something out to stop it. If you cut the suckers, I have found they'll sucker off too. I have a few now that are about 4" in diameter. Just a sort of home brew experiment I'm working on, what have I got to lose?

The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
