spent couple hours today taking down a black locust that fell at my fraternity house at the aluma mater. It was choked out by english ivy (yes Im sure its english ivy). Wife and I tried to take all of the ivy off we could but some of the ivy was as thick as the branches! It was nice to take it down at the house, the chain saw woke up most of the guys (at 12pm) and they came and helped load the truck so all I had to do was cut! Id say a good way to spend my break at work!
