Boy am I excited. When I went to look at it a bird came in and took out a 3" piece with its body weight. Pretty much void of sticks. A little vine on the bottom to top it all off. No where to set up a sky line so I'm going to put a crane on it. Pretty good bit of room to drop stuff. I don't really want to stand on it and do crane picks so I'm thinking I will tie in off the ball and piece it out. I'll post pics tomorrow and should get some video as well. If you don't hear from me again it won't be because of this tree, it will be because my wife just asked if her new jeans made her look fat and I said "compared to what?" Instead of no.
