smoke up, stumpy

Removing the cherry stump didn't take quite as long as I expected. It was surprisingly heavy, though. Over 150 pounds, probably.

Now the only evidence that the tree once graced the yard is the unremarkable patch of dirt, which blends in just fine on what is effectively a well-used soccer and football field.

I can't wait to try the wood chips in the grill. I've never used cherry but have heard that it's excellent. I collected some of the axe shrapnel for starters.
