On and off rain, not too cold, 50F.   Seneca Farms for brunch, skyline drive on the Bluff for birding, and Alan and Rachel's to cut two trees down, all went well, and then to the spotted Duck for ice cream.

Finished checking all the trees in shelters (about 200 sugar Maples, Red Oaks, White Oaks, Black Cherry, Swamp White Oak, a few Black Gum, hickory, basswood, and one Catalpa.) 99% survival rate.   Methodology is working well.   Treating stakes to hinder rotting and breaking off issue.  Maybe should go to iron stakes? 

Sat Mar 30, 2019 Just getting over the flu, but Linda had it bad.  Type A (H1N1) per the hospital.  I'm back to normal... splitting wood, checking tree shelters, Usual treasurer work, birding, (Eastern Phoebes newly back today), enlarged the septic tank access over the input side to enable a cleanout.  Warm today... may hit 70F.   Long underwear may take a back seat.
