Buggered wrist or not, the show must go on (carefully).
Fetched the Red Dragon and giving it some lube and dental cleaning before putting it to work.
Debushification.
It went slowly. The wrist ached, the gnarly, thorny shrubs were difficult to stuff into the shredder and some spectators came by for a demonstration of the chipper (friends of wife, so I obliged).
Still, one area got cleaned up and should be maintainable now. Just a few bits of firewood to collect.

More woodchips. Maple edition with Virginia creeper that was inseparable.
Kinda annoying to feed into the chipper as it was all stuck together with those annoying vines, so you couldn't just pick up one branch at a time.
Now it's keeping the mud at bay where the cars park.
That concludes the woodchipping for now. Got some branch piles left in the forest, but upon inspection they were a lot smaller than I remembered :)
Thorny fuckers.
Got to be super careful throwing these in the chipper. They go through thick leather gloves like through wet paper.
I guess you could make sewing needles from them.
Chip chip. That blue spruce does not make the best chips, with all its needles in there. But there's lots of it. Used it to sprinkle on some muddy areas outside the barn and by the firewood store where I need to get around in winter and it got very slippery last time. Should help!
Bluesky also bans you for rhetoric threats but let the US gov post snuff movies ! 🦋
Bit foggy in my office tonight.

The #RedDragon got fed the huge pile of apple branches from the orchard and the resulting chips got raked out along the sauna paths, which were already getting muddy.
I call it #BioGravel - it's great, keeps you from sloshing around in mud, slipping on ice and nobody has to remove it later if its no longer needed.
Yes the grass will grow through it eventually, but that is absolutely fine :)

Direct to compost chipping of some junk. Mostly Virginia creeper victims and its murder vines. Grow back from that, you bastard.
Also some keen maples that pop up like weeds here and race for the sky in record time. They'll get their chance elsewhere.
It's really nice to have the chipper mobile. You just drive from pile to pile. Goes fast.
