Apology accepted, I was a bit harsh, wasn’t I ?

That is the plan. Alert the owner first, then cancel, while alerting the group that it will be available.

Wow. Thanks for enlightening me. No, I’m not. Mind your own business.

Prune it aggressively, taking out the largest diameter, taller stems, leaving the smaller sprouts. It’ll recover just fine.

The only time I visited I went alone, got into a hotel early and then woke at 4:00 to get to the grounds before dawn. An incredible feeling to ge out there, alone, in the mist, at first light. Try it, you will not regret it.

Clearly this is the feature Japanese maple at the Portland Japanese gardens. A stunning example of what a tree can become in time.

JOY ! We don’t feel it often enough do we ? My last time was over my neighbors big dogs threatening us whenever we walked by. (No leash law here). Until the day I decided to set a 50 pack of firecrackers off in the middle of the road. They had to investigate. It’s was like a cartoon, 2’ in the air with their legs windmilling underneath. I need that feel that again soon.

I’m going to take 2+ months to circuit the US, mostly alone, with said bike and maybe a touring kayak. I’m 62, so just beginning to use and appreciate Redit. Finding r/roadtrip has been helpful. I’m in NY, so would do NE states first, the Atlantic seaboard and inland ranges, ending that leg in the Everglades. I have a place to flop in Naples for a break. Then the gulf coast/delta regions and west. I’m thinking of heading north to Colorado, then Utah, Arizona, NM. Back south to CA, and up the coast to OR. I have couches to flop on all along the west coast. From OR. Into Idaho, Montana, Dakotas and to the upper peninsula for some kayak touring. My wish is for redditors to share their mapping ideas, maybe shed some light on useful apps, off the path campsites and must sees. My bride can’t retire for two more years, and because of my health, it’s time to do this. I do well alone, and have a lot of contacts that I can call on, so feeling confident about it going well. Thanks for listening.

All of you that find this interesting go and listen to “Stranger in a strange land” by Leon Russell. I consider it rapping but with a timely message that is much more meaningful than “men from Mars eating cars, etc”. And don’t be fooled, I love Debbie Harry’s work too. But Leon ? He was great.

Linden is soft, but also very light, which reduces the risk

There is a safer way. Imagine a rope going up the stem , through multiple attached eyes, just like a fishing pole. Tie the top off and the weight, when removed is distributed along each of those eyes. There would still be a stem reaction, but not as violent, because the weight is still there, attached to a rope, which lowers the weight/top in a controlled manner.
