very common. It is a trial and error procedure as to how much foam and where.

the Whitetail hill chestnut trees I ordered came in this weekend and they are packed well and safe from the traveling. I’m very happy with the trees they are all about 24” and look healthy. They also sent a packet of beneficial fungi powder for the planting holes.

I also ordered some crabapples; all will get planted today. Order from whitetail with confidence

re: Meat carrying backpack recs?

I have an EXO pack it’s fantastic. The pack detaches from the frame at the top and levers back and there is a meat shelf attachment that keeps the heavy load at the top of the pack.

It is also a great backpacking pack for the same reasons. Well thought out design and extremely comfortable. It was however quite expensive

for a backyard patio slab?

:LOL:

by the time you do all that OP could have broken up the old patio, put down some stone and pour another 13 year slab and probably saved money
just go get some lightweight concrete deck post supports from Home Depot, and set the limb on top of the block

Done
I get that he was an avid collector but this is pretty unseemly to me. For example, the irsay family could easily give the Garcia family Jerry’s guitars back and let them decide what to do with them. It’s not like Jerry sold off his axes for smack money…his luthier got them in the estate lawsuit and immediately cashed them in

in fact all of the families of the deceased would probably want those items back. Some of this stuff is deeply personal.

Anyway

if there’s a grass fed beef guy at your local farmers market or one close by he will have it. The guy at the Hammond market always has it. He also has Picanha (top sirloin cap) which is fantastic for steak frites
I love geography. I had a fun geography surprise just yesterday driving from Nashville to Chattanooga when I24 briefly dips in and out of Georgia when you get close to Chattanooga. Made me smile

Tasty Town diner Birmingham AL
roasted eggplant dip with hummus and pita
Greek chicken with rice pilaf and greens
souvlaki plate with beef tenderloin, rice and spinach and salad
iced tea

Fantastic
couple of addendum reviews

we made little effort to dine well in Nashville it was very cold and windy and we were running on fumes after almost 3 weeks on the road. It was all we could do to get to the shows. But…

in Chattanooga on our last night we ate at a great ramen place called Attack of the Tatsu, very very good and cheap as shite. One of the best meals of the trip. And on the drive home today we stopped in Birmingham and had lunch at a Greek diner called Tasty Town, outstanding food and service. Their pita bread is fantastic and the meats and veggies we had were delicious. Highly recommend both
there also is a giant brand new Loves (still has the new paint smell) at exit 1 right before you cross the pearl river into LA on 59 with a bojangles

Business at loves must be booming

Same recipe works really well with skin on thighs and Italian sausage…chicken vesuvio

if I ever do a model again it will be something like that. Well done
that’s a very good list I would add loquat to that. Mine are bulletproof with zero care and maintenance.
why are you wanting those limbs to root? It is a very rare occurrence anyway most often the branch just rots and breaks. It’s not really a thing
you don’t even need to think about pruning either in any way until a few years from now. At that point you’ll be able to ID the main branches you want and start lopping off lower branches and any feeders (small branches off mains that look like they want to interfere with the basic shape)
