Nice! Mesquite firewood, the best there is. Love the smell.

Glad everything turned out okay, Richard.

My front yard looks like a lake but everything's okay here. And my Sovereign got a good bath. She's clean and shiny.

Most of the tree is gone and the corner of the backyard looks very naked. Mesquite is a very hard wood to cut and I had to replace the chain on the saw twice. My chainsaw has a 16" blade and was not long enough for some of the trunk.
