When Does Insurance Pay for Stump Grinding

[wyrm-in-the-apple]

Nightmarch 2023 - Prompt: Rot

“Well, when a limb is contaminated, it must be removed.” “Once the rot has reached the main trunk, the tree is lost, and the only thing to do is uproot the stump and immolate the remains.” “No, an infection cannot be reversed, only prevented.”

Nightmare’s bones were nearly rattling. They weren’t talking about him. This was just horticulture. He did not see hateful, pointed glances in his direction. That was just his imagination. He wasn’t the rot that needed to be cut out and burned to spare the healthy wood. This was information he needed to know to care for his mother’s tree. That was all.

He started as a spidery hand gripped his skull. He looked up into the elder’s face.

“Are you paying attention, Nightmare?” said the elder.

He nodded furiously.

The elder peered closer. “You look ill. Go get yourself looked at after lessons.”

Nightmare nodded again.

The rot wasn’t inside him. It couldn’t be.

Fireblight is 1) a cool name and also 2) one of the diseases that affects apple trees.

Listen, i know it's very easy to fall into despair and say that nothing can be done. But it's just not true! Remember that story about two frogs in a milk jug? The frog that gave up drowned and died, but the one that kept swimming survived escaped in the end. Now think of yourself as one of those frogs. I'm not saying that you should push yourself to your limits, no, but you shouldn't give up.

It's very easy to say "both options suck ass, so i abstain" when you're given the choice of only two, with one being a progressive party represented by a guy who orders to build schools and hospitals in your homeland, advocates for people having human rights regardless of who they are, but silently pays a group of sick fucks who kill people elsewhere, but also tries to convince those sick fucks to not kill people in such quantities, and who CAN be pressed to do better; and the other option being a party full of hatred for anything that doesn't fit their narrow worldview, represented by a guy who openly brags about starting war, tearing down schools, hospitals and human rights, and who says outright that the sick fucks should kill everyone in the most gruesome way, and who will shoot you at point blank if you try criticizing him.

Yes, rooting for the first guy will not fix everything. But if the second guy wins, your life will become hell along with lives of those who the sick fucks kill. This all-or-nothing black-and-white do-no-wrong mentality will end up only hurting you. Yes, the sick fucks are disgusting and should be stopped. Yes, you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD help save the people those sick fucks are killing. But you cannot save others if you can't even save YOURSELF! Because if you can't save YOURSELF, you might not live to save the others!

I want you to understand this. Please, make an effort to understand this. Yes, the system is unfair and bad and should be changed. But it's not a quick and easy change! Uprooting it all in one go will only hurt you, because it is very difficult to uproot things that are big. Try tearing up a huge and thorny bush with no gardening tools, it will make your hands hurt and bleed. But if you have garden shears and a showel, you can cut the bush down piece by piece, dig up its roots and after that pull the stump out of the ground with ease. Yes, it's hard. Yes, it takes a lot of time and work. But it's easier to get rid of a bush with the help of gardening tools, than it is to try doing so with your bare hands. And it's even easier to get rid of a bush if you ask your friends to help you! Of course it's way easier to say "screw it" and leave the big and thorny bush as it is, but the thing is, the bush grows in such a place that it's very easy to accidentally get hurt by it. In fact, the bush is actively growing in such a way that it hurts others, and pruning it is almost useless, because it grows faster than you can possibly prune it! So cutting it down and uprooting the stump is the best solution!

Yes, cutting down a bush is hard and time-consuming, even with gardening tools, but in the end you prevent yourself and others from getting hurt.

Your voice is the gardening tool when it comes to electing a member of the government. Your actions are the gardening tools when it comes to maintaining a community. Your voice and actions are the gardening tools when it comes to fighting injustice. Don't throw them away. But don't go rushing head-on at the center of the big thorny bush either! You will break your gardening shears and injure yourself if you try to make a revolution. Start small instead, start by cutting down the branches that grow out and make it hard for people to avoid getting hurt by the bush. Ask for help. Work in a team. Cut it down, bit by bit, branch by branch, but CUT IT.

So, walking into the room filled with gas fumes that was the upset king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, we’ve noticed Daniel could confront the fear and insanity of the moment because Daniel found a way to fit in, to be at home culturally in the place where God put him. But, paradoxically, in that place, Daniel learned to stand out. There is another pair of things I notice, and they also stand in some tension with each other.

Love Your Enemies?

The third thing I see about Daniel, and rather like the “fitting in” issue, is a bit of a surprise. Daniel Shows a Striking Tenderness toward Nebuchadnezzar. Recall just who this guy Nebuchadnezzar is: three, maybe four devastating attacks on Judah and Jerusalem one after the other, in (perhaps) 604, 601, 597, 586 and again in 585 B.C. Each time, he took captives. In 597 he had deported many back to Babylon, including the newly crowned young king, Jehoiachin. Then in the nightmare of 587-586, Nebuchadnezaar had slowly strangled Jerusalem with a bone-crushing siege in which starvation pushed some Jerusalemites to cannibalism. Nebuchadnezzar brutally killed King Zedekiah’s sons before his very eyes, then blinded Zedekiah and dragged him to Babylon, where his predecessor, Jehoiachin, enjoyed the acceptance of the Babylonian court as the true king of Judah. We have no account of Zedekiah’s death, but he doubtless lived his last years utterly shamed. Of course, in 586 Nebuchadnezzar razed the city of Jerusalem, demolished the temple of Solomon, looted the sacred precincts of their holy objects which were brought to Babylon and later subjected to further sacrilege. Nebuchadnezzar then abandoned the city, making no efforts even to insure that what few survivors remained could pay him tribute. So, to a frightened Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel could be tempted to say “Well, Nebuchadnezzar, your sins are catching up with you. God is going to burn it all down.” But Daniel shows genuine tenderness for the tyrant. In 4:19, Daniel wishes the dream and its meaning were for the king’s enemies, not him.

And the dream… The king saw a great tree, nourishing and shading all, brutally cut down by order of a “Holy Watcher” from heaven. The tree stump is rained on, but not uprooted: an iron band clamps the stump, presumably to slow its decomposition on invasion by parasites. Daniel informs Nebuchadnezzar that he, in fact, is the tree, and the tree’s felling portends a time of bestial insanity, in fact, “seven times” worth of insanity. We don’t know what that means, but the time was significant. Though this could have been a source of real pleasure to Daniel, he shows tender compassion. Daniel stresses the devastating reality of the coming insanity, but also assures the king of hope of restoration: that iron band around the stump pointed to divine mercy.Ancient monument depicting Nebuchadnezzar imagining the construction of his great temple in Babylon

Insane, dangerous times, even times of grief, anger and outrage, must still be times of tenderness, even for an enemy. Daniel had seen a goodly share of death and suffering, all caused by this king. Nevertheless, he wishes no harm on the king, so when this dangerous, powerful man enters a moment of vulnerability, Daniel’s voice sounds notes of reason and compassion.

Honesty About God’s Standards

But today we tend to think “reason and compassion” imply lowering God’s standard of righteousness, of being soft on sin. Not in Daniel’s case. The fourth thing I find here is that Daniel Honestly Witnesses to God’s Standards of Justice. In his tenderness, Daniel speaks soberly and with restraint of God’s moral order. This dream story is all about power and pride, the two trademark character features of Nebuchadnezzar, known for pride, savage use of power, injustice and oppression, and the violent destruction of others to expand his power and aggrandize the massive appetites of himself and his favored elites. Without preaching a long sermon, Daniel is honest about these things.

Nebuchadnezzar must clearly learn two huge truths: (a) there is one all powerful, sovereign God (b) Nebuchadnezzar is not He!

Nebuchadnezzar therefore will lose that one thing that was his glory: his charismatic, incisive mind. The mind that envisioned a global empire, a dazzling urban center, ornate temples, the hanging gardens of Babylon…wonders of the world then, legendary even today…this mind will now descend into bestiality. Nebuchadnezzar must be driven insane to see the insanity he had been living all along!

So Daniel pleads with the king (4:27) to break off from his sins, to practice righteousness, stop the violent oppression, and promises that God will indeed be gracious. But Nebuchadnezzar does not heed. Then, 12 Months pass. As often happens, the slow pace of divine justice is mistaken for its unreality. But suddenly, “it” happens. It’s actually a familiar biblical scene: someone patting themselves on the back, thinking they’ve got it made, and God calls their name. “This day your soul is required of you.” And then the night fell on the brilliant, arrogant mind of Nebuchadnezzar.

Agent of Redemption

Nebuchadnezzar was lucky. He got the message. He recovers, confesses the lordship of God, and admits that his own pride has been humbled by God. It’s revealing to compare the proclamation at the beginning of Daniel 4 with the one at the end. The first is the word of a fan but the second, the word of a follower. The speaker of the first is impressed, of the second, convinced.

All because of Daniel. Daniel found a way to fit in. He didn’t compromise or cave, but stood out. He truly loved his enemy, but he did not flinch from God’s just requirements. So Daniel became an agent of redemption.

May we all, in these troubled times, and in more troubled times to come, be God’s ambassadors of truth, tenderness, and redemption

On the farm, we use tractors to pull disks, plows, mowers, and to uproot stumps. We used to saw wood with them and some pump water from streams to ponds to save thirsty sheep, cows and goats. Three times a year we cut, rack, bale then haul hay from sweet fields full of earthy wild flowers and vanilla scented grasses. The machine is a serious and powerful object. When you have so much power under your fingertips, you can't treat it like a toy. But one of my favorite things to do is to drive it past the fields along the woods on shadowy blue evenings, just me, the comforting rumble, and the wind and a star or two. There are times in my life when obstacles blocked my way, and I thought of that tractor and imagined I'd give some extra fuel and pull my way through the brambles or mucky ground. I had to see my goal and push myself, push and push and even if my boot heels slipped, I got back up and pushed again and ran right over that obstacle. I was tired, hurt, and sometimes needed a good cleaning, but having burst through that mess to see the fruits of my labor was wonderful. It gave me hope that I could achieve a dream or two. Some people enjoy the push, some the pushback, others the rewards, some are just plain bored. People will tell you to play it safe with jobs and your future, but anything not built up on the foundation of love will not last, and they will feel their life has been wasted. And it will be true. On this farm, we let people dream, we encourage them to try their hand at many jobs, from art to cooking, growing to designing, writing to painting to building things. In all we do, we curb our selfishness just to a healthier level, and serve each other, pay each other, honor, or at least respect each other, and we love each other in a good way, respecting boundaries and keeping things decent. We also sometimes get too passionate in words or deeds, but we forgive, while holding each other to account. We don't trust until people prove to us they are worthy of trust. I'm not speaking about the messiness of youth, I'm saying we take our time to figure out if a grown person is trustworthy, because not everyone wants to be trustworthy, but may slyly pretend to be so. People are like animals, some are mean and cruel, while others will risk their life to save a fellow critter. The greatest thing I've had to push through, was bad people hurting me; from family members with bruised minds to cruel fellow students and user bosses and evil politicians from all parties. The second greatest obstacle was my own craving for love, attention, and a strong need to belong. The first requires more fuel, the second requires pulling back on the throttle, building myself up, and learning patience. Grandma is a strong woman, ever ready with a hug. Your Grandpa wants to take you and show you how to shoot, fight smart, and survive. We both want you to be trustworthy grandchild, someone you can respect and trust in too, rocking on the porch with us, eating pie and singing songs, watching the fireflies blend softly into the stars of evening.

Elfwine Chronicles (new LoTR stories, Adventures of Theodred, Son of Eomer, ch 2 posted, 4-29-23)

Theodred's adventures as he travels with Freahelm, trying to find a direction for his life.  (Adventure, Drama, Angst, Romance, Family, Humor) (19 chapter story)  [Familiar faces from LoTR will appear throughout the story.]

 Chapter 2

Theodred drew rein at the sight before them, and Freahelm followed suit.  For a moment, they sat and watched as an old man earnestly urged a rather skinny, decrepit horse to pull.  A rope affixed to a harness on the horse was tied around a large tree stump and, apparently, the man was trying to uproot it.

“No offense, good sir,” Theodred announced, “but I fear your horse is unequal to the task you set before him.”

The old man noticed them for the first time, and paused in his efforts to wipe at the sweat on his brow. “Do you think me so foolish that I do not know this, young master?” he snapped.  “The work must be done and he is all I have.  We will manage without the likes of you making pointless comments!”

Theodred grinned at the man’s feistiness, then asked, “So, does that mean you do not wish us to help you?”

The man had turned back to his task, but now levelled his gaze upon them and their mounts.  Finally he observed, “Those are fine animals you ride. It is not likely they are used to this kind of work.”

Freahelm chuckled and replied, “On the contrary, sir!  These are war horses, and well acquainted with hard work.  We do not breed weak animals in Rohan.”

“Rohan, eh?” the man asked, rubbing his grizzled chin thoughtfully.  At the responding nod, he shrugged and told them, “I could use the help, and surely old Fen here would appreciate it.  He has seen too many winters for this kind of work.  But why would you want to help me?  I cannot pay you.”

Theodred laughed as he dismounted.  “We are not looking for payment, but perhaps if you have a barn, you will allow us to sleep there tonight.  It looks like it might rain again.”

An agreement reached, Theodred and Freahelm set to work loosening the ground around the stump by driving pointed sticks into the dirt to break it up.  Then, tying ropes to their saddles, they set their horses to the task.  The rain that had fallen rather steadily the past two days had softened the ground enough that their efforts soon yielded the desired result; the stump pulled free from its present location.  After dragging it to where the old man indicated he wanted it, they used his axe to chop it into firewood and loaded it into a wagon parked nearby.  Once Fen was reharnessed to the wagon, they followed the man, whose name was given as Dorgil, back to his small farm and helped him get things put away and the remaining chores done. 

Just as they finished, the skies opened up again.  By now, he had warmed to the two men and invited them for supper, which they gladly accepted.  Then they talked long into the evening, Dorgil seeming to enjoy the unexpected company. He told them of his life, the death of his wife, and his two sons who lived elsewhere.  When they decided to turn in, he let them spread their bedrolls by the fire rather than retiring to the barn, and they were grateful to be warm and dry through the night.

Tree service

Their lawn care and tree trimming services are so excellent that they have established a stellar reputation.

Over the past 20 years, a lot of people in Connecticut have benefited from our aid with tree removal and trimming. Over the years, our New London clients have come to rely on us for a range of Tree service in East Lyme, including tree trimming and stump grinding. Some of our past customers have happily surprised us by coming back to make new purchases. Everyone is aware of our expanding base of devoted customers. However, the number of enthusiastic testimonials from pleased clients has increased. Tree care Undoubtedly, that is fantastic news for our business. I hope these customer reviews of our tree trimming service are instructive and useful. During the redesign process, customer feedback was taken into consideration. You are so gracious to say that. Anyone working with Tomorrow's Trees is encouraged, but not required, to obtain all necessary licenses in order to carry out their duties ethically and lawfully. The future success of our business may ultimately depend on how dedicated we are to ensuring that you are completely satisfied with our goods and services. They must participate if we are to succeed.

The majority of Americans are unaware of the necessity of having a driver's license in order to operate a vehicle.

However, whereas removal firms are exempt from registration requirements in Connecticut, maintenance companies are. Only individuals who currently hold a current license as a tree surgeon are exempt from these regulations. Only a small number of the many businesses who claim to provide the service actually do so. Tree care businesses are free from these regulations. It is required of certified arborists to keep their skills and knowledge current through continual education and training. Arborists must never stop learning about their line of work. It takes a lot of work from tree keepers to keep a community's tree canopy healthy. Your trees' long-term health will be improved by taking this precaution. If these recommendations are followed, a tree collection can be kept safe.

One can question whether paying an arborist to plant a tree is worthwhile. If the time and effort expended may be better used elsewhere, it would be worthwhile to charge for the service.

This is so we may observe trees in all of their shapes over the course of their whole lives. We might recapture as adults the sensation of wonder and amazement we once had toward the natural world. We are knowledgeable with the best planting areas, anticipated growth rates, and any difficulties these species may present. Homeowners might save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by giving their plants a head start. A tree's true aesthetic value can only be appreciated after it has been planted, cared for, and allowed to develop in perfect circumstances for a number of years. A tree's health and lifetime are improved when it is permitted to reach its full height and spread. Long-term benefits will come from spending more on preventative healthcare. Almost typically, preventative measures outweigh pricey fixes. Pesticides can be sprayed on plants to kill them, or the plants can be uprooted and replaced with new ones. You should hold off on making any purchases until you get specific details on prices for the following year in order to optimize your savings. To get there, we must shift our focus from resolving the current crisis to averting future crises of a similar nature.

You should assess your present insurance and licensure to make sure you are sufficiently protected.

Yes. The two active patents held by Richard C. Cullen are NE-1077A and HIC#0636549.

Since we provide tree services rather than lawn care, we have made significant investments in safety measures to protect our employees when working at heights more than 10 feet. Despite the fact that the tree is on our land, we cannot remove it without your permission. We carry general liability insurance as well as workers' compensation to protect us in the event that one of our clients gets hurt or their property is damaged while we are working. If you need a certificate of insurance, our insurance agent will be pleased to provide one (COI). You can use this tool to verify that you understand the rules. Although we are aware that not every enterprise in our sector will share the commitment of the business community to ethics, we feel it is important to emphasize the significance of doing so. Nobody in this room would purposefully endanger you or your loved ones. Maybe we can learn something from this discussion.

For your benefit, the device already has a safety function installed.

All of Tomorrow's Trees' goods and services are protected by a wide array of insurance contracts. We know the service we do for you will meet or surpass your expectations since we only work with the most seasoned arborists.

The Blueberry Trees: Part One

A fairytale that will set the stage for several upcoming Reader stories. Part One is purely fairytale, Part Two will be a Reader x Fae story

1700 words

The cool mists of Knot Knix Forest rolled over the nearby farmer’s fields in waves every morning, carrying dew and life with them. Farmers blessed by the fae-woods’ breath, who respected the ancient ways and left gifts of the first harvest fruits from every season at the edge of the fairy rings, were said to grow three times as much food as those beyond the reach of the forest.

It was this prosperity and fertility that drew greedy eyes and crooked men to buy up all the land surrounding the fae woods, eager to cash in on this seemingly free bounty unheard of outside of Knot Knix. The fairy rings were dug up and the rivers straightened as these new masters of the plow furrowed the ground right up to the edge of the wood. This broke the ancient root systems of those heralds at the edge of the forest and trees began to die. They were clear-cut and hauled away, the farmlands expanded beyond their original borders to fill in the new, open ground left behind.

As trees died and fairy rings disappeared, so too dried up the life-bearing mists and the babbling brooks that flowed outwards from Knot Knix. There were no first fruits that year, nor the year after. Three years of the ground turning dry and desolate convinced these new masters that the ground had simply been used up. That newer, better ground was to be had in the woods. So, they began to chop. And hack. Mulch and chip and till and bulldoze with machines that belched smog into the cool, clean air. Down fell the mighty trees of Knot Knix as acres and acres of stumps were uprooted to make way for the expanding farms.

This insult did not go unnoticed by the true masters of the wood; The Fae. None of the insults had gone unnoticed. But the catastrophic loss of so many of their trees was the final straw. Every machine that dared roll towards what remained of the woods was cursed to break no matter how many mechanics came to fix them. Every worker who stepped foot beyond the old line where the forest once had ended went home so sick with fever that they could not rise from their bed for a week. And every seed that was sown, every bush and tree planted, every seedling pressed into that stolen ground withered and died before morning.

Finally, the crooked men who had purchased the farm came down from their office buildings to see what the trouble could be. And they were greeted by a youth with eyes too bright and teeth too sharp, ears too long and clothes too old. These men shouted for the youth to get out of the road so they could drive their shining cars to their worksite, but the youth would not budge.

“Return the land to whom it belongs,” they were warned. But the men did not listen, and they drove around the child.

“Who do they think they are?” The men asked themselves. “Don’t they know we paid a lot of money for this terrible investment?”

When they arrived at the broken machines and the half-completed work they were greeted by the same small youth. Seeing the child again, one of the men opened his lunch pail and handed the boy a small baggie of blueberries. He patted them on the head and told the child to run along back home.

“How can I go back home when you and your farm are hurting the land? Everybody is starving because of you!” The child stamped their foot, making the men groan and shoo the youth along.

“This is our land, we can do what we want with it. If you’re so hungry, stick those berries in the ground and grow some more. Now scat!”

The boy ripped open the bag, scattering blueberries on the ground, and snarled at the men with their sharp teeth. “You want me to feed the world with blueberries? Fine. I will feed the world with blueberries.”

The men scoffed and walked away to survey the damages, walking around the farm and then walking back to their shiny cars. Or, at least, the place where the shining cars had been.

In their place were massive trees, laden so heavily with blueberries that their branches brushed the ground. Shocked and amazed, they rushed forward and tasted the fruits. They were the sweetest and juiciest they had ever tasted. So much so that they immediately called their businesses and requested meetings with investors.

While they were on the phone, the businessmen kept eating. And once they started eating, they could not stop. They ate even as their teeth and ears grew longer. They ate even as their skin grew fuzzier. They ate even as their bodies became smaller. They ate and ate until they had eaten themselves into cottontail rabbits, and the sound of a car driving down the dusty road terrified them into running away into the woods where they were never seen again.

But that is not the end of the story. No. These scattered blueberries that had been grown into trees by fae magic stood tall against the barren backdrop and attracted the gaze of the local farmers. These were wise old men and women, leathery from sun and wind and hard work who knew better than to mess with the old fae woods. They came to these strange, unnatural trees, and were greeted by a youth with eyes too bright and teeth too sharp and they tipped their hats in respect to the fae child.

“Return the forest to whom it belongs,” the fae told them, standing in the center of this new faerie ring made by these unnatural trees. The farmers removed their hats entirely and tipped their heads forward, replying that their own farms had been taken from them too. Bought up by the men who had purchased the land around the forest. They did not own the land anymore, so it was up to the owners to give.

“They will bother you no longer. Your land is yours once again. What will you do with it?”

Shocked, but grateful, the farmers each pledged to plant trees to restore the destroyed forest, and then some. That the forest would be grander and mightier than it had been before, by their efforts.

This pleased the fae child, who plucked a handful of berries from the trees and offered them to the farmers.

“Take these, then. But do not eat them. Treat them as seeds, and plant them to restore the forest. They are full of magic, and will grow quickly. Come back when you run out and pick more. Plant every berry from these trees, and the bounty you knew before will be returned.”

And so they did. Every farmer received deeds to their original lands in the mail and all set to work picking berries from the trees, planting them to replenish the forest. They rented cranes and lifts to reach the berries at the top, paying lithe young boys and girls to scour the trees for anything that had been left behind. As baskets and bushels of berries were carried home, new hardwood trees sprouted where the seeds were planted. Seemingly overnight they would shoot from the ground, growing dozens of feet each week until they brushed the sky.

It was easy to replace the old woods. The ground where the old trees had once stood was dark and loamy, even after the abuse it had endured. These trees were planted quickly, even considering the immense scale of the Knot Knix. Berries were sent to farmers on all sides and all sides, for a hundred miles, worked together to replenish the forest. But when the trees were still covered with berries even after the old forest had been replaced, there came resistance. Some did not believe it was their responsibility to repay the old woods when they too had been wronged by the situation. Some simply could not afford another small harvest, they needed to plant their old land in full to have enough food and money to feed their families.

Heated debates and town hall meetings on all sides of Knot Knix broke out. But as summer wore on and the area affected by the desolation only grew, eventually the warning left by the fae won out over all. Through the winter months trees were planted all around the forest and friends and family dug through snow drifts to find the last of the berries left on the blueberry trees. These were all divided equally, and each farmer added more and more trees to their property in the hopes that the fae would keep their promise once the forest was restored.

Finally, a year and a day after the first seed was planted, the last seed was placed in the soft earth amid a grand festival. The ground trembled and shook just before the last tree sprang to life, unfurling into a giant ash tree before the eyes of all who had gathered for the event. And then… all was still. All was quiet.

And then… bird song. Birds that hadn’t been heard for years broke into song and cheering broke out throughout the festival. There were some sniffles among the cheers, as many of these families had lost so much in these recent years, but there was loss felt by all. And therefore, the hopeful joy at finally having planted the last seed was also felt by all.

The festivities continued, which was why it was almost missed when the mists arrived once again. Pouring from between the newly planted trees like a fog bank, Knot Knix unfurled it’s magic once again. Fruit trees spontaneously bloomed. Sprouts pushed through the ground. And a little fae child with eyes too bright and ears too long watched from up the hill, at the faerie ring, as a truly joyful, raucous cheer rose from the farming families below. A smile tugged at their lips, and as the faerie disappeared into the trees, the blueberry trees waved in the wind, beginning to blossom once again as well.

1. Alone amongst brothers.

"Cal! Hey mate where are you?" Snowballs clicked his fingers under his nose, startling him.

Bad idea. Never startle an ex cop ex Marine who hadn't slept for years.

Chris -his real name was Chris- came out of his reverie and offered a poor smile to his brothers. Obviously missing his goal to reassure his squad.

Who was he kidding?

He hadn't been here for years. For 3 years. 3 fucking years.

He hadn't been the same since he came out of prison. Since his brother, his real brother fled to Canada, to never return.

Since Oyster, his little brother killed that asshole in a bar.

Thinking about it, all this shit had started after their mother died.

Big, huge mess she had left behind.

He reluctantly came back to the world, that world without his mom nor his brother, that world where he's a useless piece of shit, forbidden to serve his country in any way.

Reverie couldn't have been more inappropriate. Living nightmare would have fit better.

"Next round on me." Jaeger announced with too much enthusiasm.

"Same?" He quirked an eyebrow at Cal, who just nodded, not bothering to say a word.

He didn't need another beer. Alcohol free. Taste free too. He'd been nursing the same bottle since he settled his ass in the bar, mind absently scratching the corner of the label with his nail.

He had been sentenced to 6 years and spent 3 at Pittsburgh Correctional Institution. He got a release, good behaviour. He'd been lucky, somehow, half of the prisoners were there because of him. Death had waited for him at every corner, but freedom hadn't tasted better.

A lot had happened in 3 years. Life had gone on whilst his had stopped behind the bars.

Snowball found his soulmate Carlo, Jaeger finally got Claire back, they married last year and were expecting their first child. Milk spawned two boys, fuck he'd been out for a long time.

Brotherhood meant leave no one behind. He had Oyster's back, he did what had to be done to save his brother from jail. Sentencing himself, ruining his own life.

He got nothing left. No wife, no family. Sure, his bros had always cared, hanging out, working out, having him in for all their kids birthdays, family barbecues, even last Christmas when Claire and Jaeger announced the good news.

They all exploded, hugging Claire and clapping Jaeger's shoulder, whooping and cheering like madmen.

He was genuinely happy for both of them and tried to ignore the stab in his guts.

For once he wanted and was in the mood to celebrate. Till his eyes landed on the blessed couple's wedding pic pinned on the wall, then spotted another showing his brothers in uniform, proudly posing with the groom.

Stab.

He wasn't there and it killed him.

Claire told him they got a seat settled in his honor and it hurt more deeply.

He had missed so many events, so many people.

Oyster.

He had spent most of his miserable life to raise his little brother -half brother but who cares?- kicked his ass every morning to have him secured at school, kicking his own ass to quit both grief and booze and pass his exams to assure them a future.

Look what future both fucked up.

If only he could have the slightest news of him, knowing his brother was fine and safe somewhere in Canada, a letter, a call, an emoji on whatever social media... but no. The cops were still looking for Oyster for Ben Daley's murder and as a cop -ex cop- he knew he and his mates have been under surveillance since day one.

Oyster had been MIA for 3 years with no chance of brightest days.

And he was left alone with nobody to care for and nobody to love.

His sentence had him kicked out from the police department, along with his staff sergeant status. No job. No rules to give rhythm to his days. No incomes but a few light works here and there in the neighborhood. The people he knew always put in a good word about him and hopefully people didn't ask for his criminal record before hiring him for fixing their roof, painting their fronts or uprooting a tree stump.

Yeah he had a lot to add to his resume: by-the-book cop, dauntless staff sergeant in the Marine corps, 2 rounds in Iraq, baby sitter and groundskeeper. Impressive.

"Man, look at this chick over there." Milk nudged him. "She's been eyeing you like she's willing to drop her panties for you."

Cal finally lifted his eyes and glanced at the girl in question. Thin, sexy, a blouse full of goodies, gaudy red lipstick, prying eyes.

Maybe he needed to get laid. He hadn't had sex since he came out of prison. His mates planned a party to celebrate his freedom and got him a working girl for the occasion but he wasn't in the mood.

He hadn't been interested in sex, not after what has happened in prison, not even a quick handjob while watching a porn. No. Scratch that. He's been forced into lame and painful wankings when his balls threatened to explode, but it was no fun at all. Far, far from it.

A slight nausea invaded his throat of the reminder and he forced the thought out.

Double sentence. If he hadn't suffered PTSD after what he did and witnessed in Iraq, then he got his trauma.

He might never use his cock again. Playground out of order. Broken.

"Nahhh... She looks cheap. Guys I don't need another blind date, you know. Your Tracy girl was crazy, she scared the shit out of me with her earlobe-licking... fetishism." Cal rubbed his earlob with a disgusting frown on his face, having all his skwad laughing out loud, wiggling all tongues out.

"Listen Cal. You need to get laid. You need a good fuck to come back to life. You're hot stuff still, you just need to pick up some gorgeous chick and have some fun! Before your dick just deceases from dehydration." Jaeger joked, hilarity ensued.

He looked around the crowded bar, tired. Tired to pretend he could be interested in that kind of date.

He didn't need a one night stand. He didn't need some cunt to fuck. He needed someone to love. And be loved in return.

Like the ol'time when he lived with his mom. Or with Oyster. He needed someone who cared.

"Thank you guys but I'm tired. I better go home and get some sleep. Need to wake up early and..."

His lame excuses got cut off by an angry Milk.

"Oh yeah, because you do have so much to do tomorrow, don't you? Cleaning up the house and walk Mrs Riley's pet? That's why you're leaving your brothers now? Cal, when are you going to get rid of this shit and be alive again? It's been 3 years already, move on for fuck sake!"

Cal didn't blink. He deserved to be scolded by his gang. He's been no fun, nothing more than a burden for them. A big piece of shit, whining about all he'd lost. Poor thing. Soon he'd lose them.

He was whining again. He's got the best friends he could dream of, people he could call his brothers, who were totally devoted to him, heart and soul.

His family. His home.

Those guys made it all easy for him while his time in prison. Paying him a visit each week, twice a week when they were off. They paid for his lawyer, his loan for the house so he wouldn't be homeless when he got out of prison. So he didn't have to break into his savings and get ruined in 6 months.

They did it in a heartbeat, without thinking nor asking for his permission. They told him it was the right thing to do. The same way Cal had them home, safe and sound after their tour in Iraq. Beside Jaeger's leg, abandoned there. How guilty he had felt, and still.

He owed them... everything.

He leant on his elbows and rubbed his face. He considered staying and trying to relax and have some fun, but his mood was definitely shitty.

Time to shake his thoughts and his big ass. He survived the war, survived in jail, he could survive this night.

"OK fuckers. But I don't want to bury my future here." He emptied his drink, slammed it loudly on the table.

"Let's get home and shake the walls!"

He grabbed his other beer and clinked glasses with his mates, and chugged it whilst his bros cheered and downed their own drinks.

"Last one at my mailbox is a loser!" Cal jumped on his feet and started running through the door.

"Ohhhh, you bastard!" Milk shouted, running after him, quickly followed by an enthusiast Snowball.

Jeager rolled his eyes and took out his wallet to pay the bill. He wouldn't win anyway, his fucking metal leg was no match for those big machines.

The three guys were messing around by the front door, playfully wrestling to pass first.

Cal jammed Milk's head in between his bulging biceps and disheveled his neat hairstyle, having him struggling even more for his freedom, grunting with rage. Snowball was stuck against the wall, the two heavy guys struggling were keeping him to head towards the door.

In a joint effort to get free, Snowball and Milk pushed Cal with all their strength until he popped out like a Champagne cork, sent flying against the wall. Just as the door opened on someone coming in.

Cal ended up glued to them, pinned on the wall, crushed against his broad chest.

"Whoah, whoah, whoah! What the hell?" A muffled voice came from underneath Cal's body.

"Holy shit, I'm sorry!" He apologized, peeling his body from a smaller and thinner one.

His hands flat against the wall, each side of a face. A beautiful face. Still blurry, he was too close to focus.

Never too close... he thought. Her smell itself made him stop.

"I'm sorry!" He uttered, forcing a step back. Finally able to focus on delicate features.

"I'm fine, I'm fine...uh, hey... I'm Jessica. " She said in a big grin as she rearranged the strands of hair away from her face.

"Nice to meet you..." She started, inviting him to introduce himself.

"Milk, nice to meet you gorgeous." The bastard spoke first, getting on Cal's business, more than happy to embarrass his mate.

"And this is Snowball" he continued, shamelessly stepping on Cal's toes and bluntly pushing him to the side.

"Ma'am!" Snowball bowed before an amused Jessica, glancing at the three boys with a smirk. "Please, accept our sincere apologies. I hope this giant idiot didn't hurt you when so roughly trying to get your attention."

Jessica let her eyes wander at the big stud's body and face, making sure it didn't turn into a stare. The man was built like a brick house, huge arms, solid chest, his short hair suggested he was a cop or a soldier, his handsome face obviously annoyed by his friends' demeanour. His gorgeous self nodding his head while pressing his so soft looking lips together. She felt her heart stop and her inside melt when they locked stares. His blue eyes were captivating and something slapped her in the face. Through his hilarious expression and attractive features, he looked so... sad and lonely. So much she wanted to pull him in in a hug and never let him go.

She forced her eyes back at the two dummies still making the show for her.

"And this!" Milk nudged his pal, "this is Chris Callahan, the man you need.

The thoughtfulness itself, well, when it's not nearly killing you, this guy is not only strong, courageous and handsome, thanks God he's also single."

Cal wanted nothing more than vanish from embarrassment after getting rid of that motherfucker of a so called best friend. On a definitive way.

But the more Milk was blurting his shit out, the more Jessica looked amused and kind of interested in him.

Eyeing him. The cutest smile on her lips. Which she bit when she finally was caught staring.

"This big sweet heart is to take darling, and you'd be a fool not to try your luck with him."

Milk got a little closer and lowered his voice "I heard he's got amazing skills, like... look at the size of his feet!"

The 2 guys barked a laugh, clunching at each other while Cam just chuckled and sighed, more uncomfortable than ever. Jessica shared the guys big laugh then winked at Cal, before glancing down to judge their size by herself.

Milk wiped the tears from his face, oh Lord he loved making fun of his mate so very much. Calming down his panting, he stepped back, still hooked to an exhilarated Snowball.

"If you want to excuse us mylady, we're up for a male race contest, where the loser will have to walk butt naked the entire week." He said, bowing out at Jessica, then stepping out of the bar with renewed loud laughs.

Cal just shifted uneasily on his spot, figuring out a way to stop looking like the dumbest guy on Earth.

"Sorry... That was... pretty awkward, wasn't it?" He shyly tried, mentally kicking in own ass to not have found something clever to say.

"Found it very funny actually, you guys made my day!" Her genuine smile cheered him up a little.

"Those guys are total weirdoes, please do not believe a single word of what they say." Cal flashed one of his best smile, pretty sure it would work for him.

"Seems your friends think very highly of you. The resume they made of you is quite appealing, you know." She made it sounds like a joke but couldn't help wondering about that nice guy, nice looking guy all in embarrassment in front of her.

And the size of his... feet.

"Yeah... Well, wait to meet them once they're not drunk and you might hear a different story." Cal shoved his hands deep in his pockets. Looking so cute.

"So... Cal, I'm looking forward to hang out with your smartass group of friends, and hear all kind of stories about you, I bet each more embarrassing than the last!" Jessica's fingers were playing with a strand of her hair against her will, flirting.

And it seemed this didn't get unnoticed, by the way Cal's stare lingered on her delicate features.

"I... I've got to go and look after those drunken asses before they get into more trouble. I won't stop hearing of it if I don't beat them tonight. It was so nice to meet you and again, apologies for so rudely bumping into you."

Chris scratched the back of his neck, torn between two options. Stay and risk to embarrass himself more and more, or leave and risk to never see her again.

"It's OK, Chris I'm fine. We would find a way to make it up for nearly knocking me down earlier. Go get them, we could meet another time. I'm new in town but I'm here for some time, let's catch up later!"

Chris chuckled, mumbled a cocky "sure!" through an enormous grin, dared to throw a wink at her before turning heels and walked out of the bar.

"I hope you lose!" She shouted at him as he reluctantly started to jog towards his mates.

"Thank you...?" Chris turned to face her again, walking backward, wearing an astonished expression. That was not the kind of support he expected.

"I may not know much about you, but I figured seeing you walk up the streets butt naked could be fun!"

Chris couldn't help the large grin taped on his face to turn into a big smile, that charismatic pant-dropping smile that had been MIA for years was finally back.

As he jogged back to his drunken brothers, in absolute no hurry, a light in heart, he felt like that stupid smile wouldn't leave his face for quite a while.

Reasons to Remove a Stump

After going through the trouble to have a tree removed, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to leave the stump sitting there. A few of the top reasons to remove stumps from your yard include:

They are Eyesores – No one likes gazing out into the yard and seeing old stumps dotting the landscape. They look even worse when weeds and other plants start growing on them, which inevitably happens over time. They Take Up Valuable Space – Most people want the widest, clearest yards possible, and stumps really get in the way. They are Hazardous – Some stumps are obvious, but others get camouflaged by grass, weeds and other plants and become tripping hazards. Nothing is worse than stubbing your toe on an old tree stump. Assessing a Tree Stump

Some stumps are easier to remove than others and therefore different techniques can be applied. Being prepared ahead of time and knowing which techniques and methods to use for which type of job will make things much easier for you in the long run. For example, pine tree stumps tend to be easier to remove than stumps from deciduous trees. The roots of pine trees tend to be wide, flat and relatively shallow while deciduous tree stumps’ roots tend to be long and deep.

What makes a stump easier to remove? Generally, the age and size of the tree are the best indicators of stump removal difficulty. Simply put, the older a stump is, the easier it is to remove. Likewise, small stumps are also easier to remove than large ones. Another good thing to keep in mind before choosing a stump removal method is to consider the total number of stumps that need to be removed. Do you really want to remove 100 stumps by hand? Or even 3? This guide will help you decide which stump removal techniques and methods are appropriate for you.

Removing a Stump by Grinding it Away Yourself Stump/Bush Removal Service Near Tucson Arizona: If removing a stump manually won’t work and you’d like to get rid of your stump (or stumps) quickly, you can always rent a grinder and grind the stump away yourself. These heavy-duty machines weigh around 1,000 pounds, and you can expect to pay between $100 and $200 to rent one for a single day (see our guide to Stump Grinding Prices & Costs) . Therefore, it only makes financial sense to do the job yourself when there are several stumps to remove.

In addition to the grinder, you will need a shovel, a mattock, a chainsaw and a rake.

Use a shovel or mattock to clear rocks away from around the stump. Cut away as much of the stump as possible with a chainsaw. Try to get it as level to the ground as possible. Using the hydraulic lever, raise the grinder wheel a couple of inches above the stump. After turning it on, lower it about 3 inches into the stump. Move it side to side with the lever. After grinding down to about 4 inches with the grinder wheel, move it forward. Repeat the process until the entire stump is at least 4 inches below ground. Keep in mind that a stump grinder is a dangerous piece of equipment and that you should always wear protective gear. Be especially diligent about wearing protective goggles or glasses because wood chips and other debris will fly everywhere. If you’ve never used a stump grinder before, it’s also a good idea to have someone at the rental place teach you how to use the machine before bringing it home or having it delivered.

If you only have one or two stumps, a professional company will probably only charge around $100 to $200, so that might be the way to go under those circumstances. As an added bonus, many companies will haul away the stump too.

Method #1: How to Remove a Stump by Hand

People who set out to remove stumps by hand often go about it the wrong way. To do this successfully, it helps to be dealing with a relatively small tree stump. If it’s from an older or diseased tree, that helps a lot too.

To remove a stump yourself, it’s essential to have the right tools. You’ll need a chainsaw for limbing saw, a pick mattock, a shovel, a digging bar, an ax, a four-wheel-drive truck and some chains.

Follow these steps to remove a stump manually:

Use a chainsaw for limbing saws to remove any lower branches from the trunk. Remove the top portion of the trunk, but leave enough to use as leverage. Use a shovel, pick mattock and digging bar as needed to reveal the roots around the stump. Use a hose or power washer to rinse dirt away to reveal more roots. Cut the major roots with an ax. Try pushing the trunk. If more roots are exposed, cut them with the ax. Continue pushing and pulling the trunk until the tree trunk is entirely uprooted. If the trunk won’t budge, wrap the chain around it and connect it to a four-wheel-drive pickup truck. Alternate between slowly pulling forward and reversing to wiggle the trunk until it is uprooted. Method #2: Tree Stump Killer and Chemical Stump Removal

If manual labor isn’t for you, you could always try the chemical route. To remove a stump chemically, you’ll need a drill, a chainsaw, potassium nitrate, an ax and fuel oil or kerosene.

Here’s a summary on how to remove a stump with chemicals:

Cut off as much of the stump as possible with a chainsaw. Drill 1-inch holes around the perimeter of the stump. Move inward by about 3 or 4 inches and drill some more holes. Ideally, these holes should be between 8-12 inches deep depending on the size of the stump. Drill additional holes around the sides so they meet with the other holes to create 45-degree angles. Pour liberal amounts of potassium nitrate into the holes. Fill the holes with water. Wait four to six weeks or until the stump becomes very spongy. Use an ax to break up the spongy stump. Optional: Saturate the stump with fuel oil or kerosene and allow it to sit for another week or so. Optional: Ignite the stump and let it burn and smolder until it is completely gone. Method #3: Burn a Tree Stump

Let’s say you’ve chopped down a tree on your property and cleaned up all of the pieces except for that unsightly stump. Instead of trying methods that will either break your wallet or potentially break your back, you could also try removing the stump by burning it.

Summary of Stump-Burning Directions Drill a hole into the center of the stump about eight to 10 inches deep. Clean all of the debris out of the hole. Continue drilling holes, leaving about one inch between each hole. Scoop potassium nitrate into each hole. Pour hot water into each hole. Continue pouring water into the holes until the potassium nitrate has dissolved. Place the scrap wood on top of the stump. Light the scrap wood and wait for the stump to ignite. Use your shovel to break up any large roots or stump pieces that are left over. Bring in soil to fill the hole as needed. Method #4: Rot a Tree Stump

Very much the same as burning a tree stump, you can also remove a stump by rotting it and then filling in the hole after the process is complete.

Summary of Directions on How to Rot a Stump Drill holes into the stump 8 to 10 inches deep. Fill the holes full of your high-nitrogen substance. Pour water into each hole. Chip off pieces as the stump gradually softens. Fill the hole with dirt as needed. Disposing of Old Tree Stumps

Stump/Bush Removal Service Near Tucson Arizona: It may not be easy to dispose of an especially large tree stump. The city may not pick it up along with the rest of your yard waste. Contact your city to find out whether it will be picked up or not. If not, ask if there are any additional options. In some places, local recycling centers will take large tree stumps.

If you have several tree stumps to dispose of, it may be worth it to rent a wood chipper and then use the wood chips for various projects around the yard. If it’s allowed in your area, you may also be able to burn your old tree stumps. If you do this, be sure to cover them with scrap wood first. If the stumps are especially large, it may take a long time for them to burn completely away.

Many companies will haul away old tree stumps for an additional fee or include it in the cost of the service, so make sure to ask before you hire a stump removal company.

How to Use the Space

After removing a tree stump, fill in the hole with topsoil, spread grass seed over the top, and then cover it with mulch hay. Water it well and monitor its progress. After grass has covered the spot, you can use it however you see fit. Even if you choose to just keep the spot grassy and clear, you will love how much better your yard looks.

Conclusion

If you’re going to remove one stump from your yard, you might as well remove all of them. You can do the job yourself, but you should weigh the time, cost and effort that are involved carefully before doing so. There’s a good chance that you’ll have to buy or rent tools to get the job done, so it may ultimately be best to let the professionals do it instead.

Use the right grinder You need to use the right stump grinder if you want to grind your stump safely and quickly.

Grinders come in different sizes and with various features, so you need to make sure you have the right stump grinder for the job.

Most homeowners rent a stump grinder for DIY stump grinding, so this can be an option if you don’t own a stump grinder. If you do rent one, see to it that it offers the size and specifications you need for your tree stump. Bigger and tougher trees often require larger stump grinders that have more size and power.

Prepare your worksite Stump grinding can take a lot of time and work, so you want to make sure your tree stump and worksite are ready before starting.

First, section off your worksite and create a clear boundary or barrier around it. This will help prevent your family or pets from walking in while you’re working and using the machine.

Next, prepare your tree stump for grinding by removing all stones, rocks and hard debris around it. Stones and rocks can damage the blades of your grinder, so you want to remove as much of these hard objects as possible before grinding your stump.

Have the right tools ready A stump grinder is just one of the many tools you will use in DIY stump grinding. Some of the other tools you need include:

Shovel Chainsaw Rake Hose Have these tools ready and within easy reach so you can work quickly and efficiently.

Don’t forget to use safety equipment Stump grinding involves tree particles and debris flying out in all directions (not to mention the use of heavy tools and machines), so it’s important to protect yourself properly when working.

Some of the safety equipment you should use include:

Full-length shirt Full-length pants Safety goggles Safety ear muffs Dust masks Work gloves Take your time Yes, some DIY stump grinding projects can be completed quickly. But that doesn’t mean you should rush the job.

You should always take your time when stump grinding – not just for your own safety, but also to avoid making mistakes that could waste your time later.

For example, you’ll often need to adjust your grinder multiple times throughout the process, depending on the shape and level of your tree stump. You’ll also likely need to make several passes over your tree stump to grind it down at the right level.

It may sound counterintuitive, but the fastest way to complete your DIY stump grinding is to do it slowly and take your time.

Tree Stump Removal Cost Calculator

National Average $316 Typical Range $164 – $493 Low End – High End $80 – $1,000 Average Removal Prices per Stump or Inch

Stump/Bush Removal Service Near Tucson Arizona: Professionals price removal both per stump and by the diameter in inches. Removal usually takes about an hour and most companies charge a minimum around $100. You’ll spend about $2 to $5 per diameter. Per stump charges range anywhere from $60 to $350 or more depending on location and size. Always measure at the widest point at ground (grade) level.

Average prices fluctuate based on accessibility, age and overall project time. Multiple stumps usually get a price break with the initial one costing between $100 and $150 and each additional one running about $50 each.

Stump Grinding Rates

On average, professional stump grinding costs about $200. The most popular and effective removal method is to have professionals come in and use a commercial grinder. It costs about $3 per diameter inch in most cases. Clearing large areas or multiple stumps will run about $150 an hour.

The actual process of grinding when equipped with a commercial grinder can be a very short task, usually about 1 to 2 hours. However, the speed of the job depends on the expertise of the user and the quality of the machine.

Stump Grinding Cost Factors

There are multiple factors that affect the price of grinding including size, time, and quantity.

How Grinding Works

Equipped with large spinning blades at the front, these machines quickly reduce even hardwood to sawdust. They slowly grind back and forth to create mulch and sawdust. They grind below the ground to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. The blades also work away at the roots in the ground, clearing the area for a garden or lawn.

Cost Estimates for Removing Without a Grinder

Stump/Bush Removal Service Near Tucson Arizona: While hiring a professional with a commercial grinder, it also tends to be the most expensive. There are alternatives, and these include using a chemical solution, burning or digging it out. Some professionals will dig out small ones by hand, but larger ones have roots that are too large to make this a viable option.

Burning

Burning a tree stump costs $6 to $100. Those costs come from power drill rental and purchasing potassium nitrate such as Spectracide Stump Remover Granules. Homeowners who want to save money and skip the professional option can choose to create a wood fire and burn away the wood. Be sure to check with your fire department and follow all safety precautions before burning.

Chemical Rotting

Chemical solutions require the least amount of labor, but the potassium nitrate can take weeks to soften the wood before making it easy enough to remove. Prices for rotting are identical to burning at $6 to $100 – requiring potassium nitrate and a drill.

Manual Removal

Digging out a stump costs $50 to $350 and requires digging and cutting through the tap root and any other roots until it is loose. Costs come from landscaping tools like shovels and axes on top of average labor costs of $38 per hour.

Cost Factors

The biggest factor that will influence the project budget is whether homeowners hire a professional to tackle the job or try to do it themselves. While the average price of professional services is similar across the country, size, location, tree type, root systems, and clean up all affect cost.

Small Shrubs vs. Large Stumps

Size matters. Since most removal services charge between $2 and $5 per diameter inch, the larger the stump the higher the price. Larger ones usually have more complex root systems. Removal services may charge between $100 to $200 per hour for root removal.

Geographic Location

Location affects pricing in two ways: market costs and travel time. Most professional services work for a minimum amount, usually $100 within their service area. If you live outside the service area, expect additional travel expenses of at least the federal travel rate of $0.55 per mile.

The market you live in will also affect pricing. Expect to pay more in large urban centers where accessibility, permitting, insurance and overhead drives up professional fees. Rural areas tend to be cheaper, though most still have a minimum of $100 per job.
