Not sure on trimming alone. It’d probably cost $2k to cut it down if not more. I will say with the size of the tree I don’t imagine any amount of pruning is going to save your gutters.

Big Tree is Willow Oak Below is my best educated guess from the picture. Trees always look a little different in person. If you really want to know I can swing by sometime and look

I thought you could buy long guns out of state?

Found the go fund me page that explains the man died from fatal injuries trying to navigate the canyon to get to the road. The female ha da severe ankle injury require surgery. I simply think they made a bad navigation error and got in very extreme terrain and had a mishap. According to the timeline on the page if they’d stayed with the car they would have been found an entire day earlier. Assuming it had gas they could have even run the ac periodically to stave off heat trauma https://www.gofundme.com/f/emily-henkel-alex-lofgren-disaster-relief

So many things when wrong. After looking at the map they hiked in a direction that appeared shorter to paved road but extremely rough terrain. I know making the right decision is never easy in the moment, but staying with the vehicle or hiking down the road they drive in would have been better options. 22miles even in extreme heat could be done. Wait for night fall and hike hard all night and you could be there before sunrise. They should have had more food and water as well as a mobile emergency device like Erik posted above. It’s easy to armchair quarterback this now but when you go to a place called “Death Valley” you HAVE to prepare to survive if the situation arises.

I can’t figure why they hiked to a location that was unreachable but helicopter? Like was said above, if you have 3 days of water, why not hike down the road? Or did they?

Yeah I hate people. It’s just like when “guns in bars” was passed. Drunk people have been having Wild West duels in the parking lots ever since, right?

The gang activity in that high school is shocking. The feuding and shootings are not uncommon. I’d wager this young man was on the hunt for a rival. Sad waste of young life. Glad the office wasn’t more critically injured

Valid point. Gov Lee used cell phone data to justify to COVID-19 lockdown saying Tennesseans weren't staying home voluntarily. If that doesn't scare the #### out of you, nothing will. People scared of a vaccine implant and then carry a personal government intrusion device voluntarily everywhere we go.

This is often a common name for Saucer Magnolia due to the flower shape and size is very tulip like

Can look more tree like or more shrub like

I’ve seen saucer magnolias twice as tall as the one in the pic. Still consider a “small tree” in tree standards. It can be shrubby or have multiple stems but if managed can have single trunk

It’s hard to tell scale of the flowers in the pics but it sure looks like a Saucer Magnolia. It’s a Japanese flowering tree. Biggest giveaway is how early they bloom. Always the first ornamentals to flower

I had a TRP many years ago. Loved that gun, wish I still had it. Only sold it because I was poor and wanted a suppressor

explain what I'm looking at, besides a suppressed AR of some caliber.

what happened? Just an jump in income bracket? Its happened to me before. We moved to Knoxville got new jobs and pay rates, ended up owing several thousand come tax time. Bottom line standard withholdings will be woefully short as your income increases. anyway back to speculation on tire prices

That woman needs education on "shoot, don't shoot" decision making. I hate a thief, but don't think they should be shot

This FJ is almost perfect....just enough lift, great patina, not too shiny to drive in the woods. You're crazy if you sell it, but if you do, call me

I'd look pretty hard for one with a 22RE vs the 3.0. Reliability is night and day. I use Facebook marketplace and look all over the south. You can find one with all the seats ready to go if you just be a bit patient. Also be careful with a beater 1stGen, the rust you encounter might be way more than you bargain for

Dont leave us Toyota guys outta that

Wooly's Off-road is south of Nashville. Its basically a small private owned property. Its fun but not something I would do often. its pretty mild but can be sketchy in a few spots so be careful or go with someone knowledgeable the first time. Now for 1stGen 4runners we're opening a whole topic I can talk for days about. Are you familiar with the variants of years, what to look for and current market? Feel free to share any listings and I can give you my opinion if that's something you would like

Should be approved next week. Then how fast distribution takes will be a crap shoot.

yeah probably not for about 6 months. It certainly wouldn't hurt to take one but in light of limited supply if I had a know postive case I'd probably just wait until they are more readily available.

I never said it wasn't. I just said the idea that doctors and researchers would withhold viable medical treatments to make more money is laughable. Our advancement in cancer treatments alone in the last 20 years is a herculean effort. Have you seen this country lately? No one needs to withhold anything to ensure high demand for medical care is sustained, we eat, drink, and drug our way into plenty of need.
