Jake, we just missed each other, I left at 9:09.
I was going to put a blade on my trimmer to cut out the blackberries but the
parts guy at Kitsap Tractor said it wouldn’t work too well. If the
blackberries were new and small size the blade could work but on established
vines it doesn’t a good job. Also, my trimmer has a flexible drive shaft. The
parts guy said that the blade on established blackberries would cause too much
torque and could damage the flexible drive shaft. He said I would need a high
end commercial grade trimmer with a solid drive shaft.

I got to the field about 9:12......again, nobody there😀. A few showers and a
bit of wind so I declined to fly.
I did donate and drop off the Stihl chainsaw in the storage container for
anybody to check out to determine if it operates OK. It is about 15 years old
but virtually new and may need a little TLC in the carb department in case of
any possible old gas varnish.
I met Joe Young coming in as I was leaving and he also left his chainsaw for
future tree cutting.
He has surveyed the alder patch and feels the biggest problem is the blackberry
vines...so thick you can’t work on the trees. A problem to solve......even if
you cut the base of the vines the balled up vines are intertwined among the
alders so tight you can’t drag them out of the way....at least not by
hand.....might require some kind of machinery.

I was at the field early and got my test flights completed. The wind was a
little bouncy at 8 am but not too bad.

I may go early to try to get flight in before wind comes up.
