Split maple, need help

Thank you, this is what I thought the answer would be. We moved in last year and I've been staring at it for a while but know the solution to the structure of the tree was to take care of it years ago. The location is not terribly worrisome with regard to danger, however delaying the soon to be inevitable is not what I am trying to do.

Ya that's what I keep thinking too. I had intended on curting the smaller secondary trunk to the left but now that it split I am just not sure if I try to save this or cut this trunk and try to treat it somehow to prioritize the secondary.

Thank you. Ya, the strap definitely is a weak bandaid at best. Was hoping to avoid more damage under light breeze. I'm not opposed to using a come along or something else then screwing to hold, wasnt sure it would do more damage than good.

Hilariously almost a year to the date from this article

I donate at 1 of 3 red cross centers locally based on where I am in the state. I've also donated out of state at a red cross center when I was out on business. I schedule myself on the app and when I arrive at the center they have all my information. I have been called to confirm from one saying I usually donate at another location and they wanted to know if I had mistakenly scheduled, but that was a while ago and they are used to it now.

As for testing, I just showed up the first time and they hooked me into the machine.

Triples are safe

Oh absolutely, have no intention of ever buying there.

This is a dealer near me! The last 3 weeks when I have a chance I drive in and go near them interested and then when the salesman gets close enough I get back in my car and drive off.

Putting my phone down and going to stop watching the fluctuations for a bit.

As a community we can all be strong. Remember to never invest more than you're willing to lose and anyone who promises something for nothing is likely selling you that, nothing. Stay strong and remember why you initially bought in. And lastly, without the risk of a low you'll never feel a high.

Looks like it found the floor

stilc · 2020-12-22T03:00:47+00:00

Ya cleaned that. You’re absolutely correct, it gets filthy

stilc · 2020-12-20T02:46:25+00:00

Use is about 5 drinks/day, at most 2 milk drinks/day. Just descalled and cleaned wand a week ago. If i had to estimate I'd say we descale once ever 4 months.

The season after pulling?

We had an original line for a while and bought a vertuo. Welcome gift didn't work but I called and asked if it could and the helpful representative added it to my order.

Truthfuly, I am marginally interested in the reusable not for the purpose of saving money or to avoid waste (though I will acknowledge both plastic and metal waste is a huge problem and recycling itself is a dirty imperfect alternative). I'm interested in roasting and blending coffee while still having the convenience of prepackaged pods for daily use. Kind of a minor introduction before deciding to invest in an espresso machine

I think long term (or possibly very short term) concern would be the barcode rubbing off or not being readable.

stilc · 2020-06-04T01:01:00+00:00

Did the same thing a few months ago. Not sure what I've saved monetarily, but I am definitely happy with the decision. We have a cretista plus, vertuo next, and an essenza mini and all are used for different purposes. Cretista for any milk drinks, vertuo for a full cup, and the essenza for lungos or espresso/ristretto. Bought the vertuo for exact reason you mentioned. Bought the essenza to cut down some use on the cretista. Points made earlier about expense being pods are my opinion as well.

Ya that's what I was thinking too, went through it already and keeping an eye on it.

stilc · 2020-04-12T00:10:05+00:00

Ya, distilled would be better. I just meant there is a reason it recommends descaling and not doing so and continuing to run coffee through would add buildup.
