Hurricane Ed currently hitting my neighborhood. The wind is ripping and it is raining sheets. I'm in a work Zoom right now and I'd really like to focus my attention on the outdoors instead.
ETA: I work for the power company now and I've got some pretty sweet weather and electrical tracking tools at my disposal. The weather stuff is fun to play with.

thousands? maybe out where you live. do you have any idea how common maples are around here? i've got 5 more in my yard alone.
i don't anticipate being back in the office until at least the middle of next year.
it could be taken down to thinner veneers for finishing and still be valuable.
@Nick @Adventurous @stoney just out of curiosity i checked out the local sawmill. they almost never buy from homeowners as a rule. they have no transportation options, so that would be on me ($$++), however if you can get it there, they'll slab it for you: $175 per hour of saw time, and any damage to the saw from anything embedded in the wood. then transport of processed slabs would also be on me.
as far as an alaskan sawmill, i haven't measured, but guesstimating based on size, in addition to the chainsaw mill itself i would need a larger chainsaw (both in terms of bar length and engine power)

woof. a saw with a powerful enough engine and long enough bar to make it worthwhile would be at least $1100.
Fair enough. Its not an endeavor to take lightly, but thick, live edge, maple slabs go for good money.
Surprised the local saw mill won't take em. There are a multitude of companies that will come take hardwood trees away at no cost to the homeowner cause they want the lumber. Its a good way to get large, old growth trees that are ordinarily off limits for logging.
their business is strictly a sawmill. there's enough arborists & large tree companies in the area that they don't need to do both.
Hey, baby... nice slabs! Are those maple? 
On aisle 9 ? Man the grocery stores in Florida sure are different.
When I was 19 a massive Black Walnut came down on our property. I have no idea how I researched it, but I got a local firearm manufacturer to pay me close to $10k For it. He said the most valuable part was the rootball.
yea silver maples are a dime a dozen around here.
It will all be open within a few days cause $$All this rain seems to be closing trails where we're headed next week.
Shiiiiiit. Is it that bad out there @Jozz?
Sentiers du Moulin mostly closed, VBN on the verge of closing. Haven't checked MSA yet.
Whats Empire 47 like?
edit: E47 is great too!
Try it nao? Isaias raining cats and dogs here, I got soaked during my short ride in ze Förest.
The mess is currently about centered on Albany - we're getting significant rain right now. Reading about 7/8" of accumulation.
Mettez-vous immediatement!
Eye see (rain figure is for three hours):
Not sure I may ever be back in the office other than to visit. I spent a few hours there this morning working on a machine, but that is pretty rare.
I'm sure you could make a better ent joke
he really shouldn't let the maple leaf
As of nao the Toaster has new wiper blades, an oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new air filter, and new cabin filters. All without having to take it to an oil change place. Drove by the local Grease Monkey a week ago and not one of the employees was wearing a mask. Fuck them !
stuck in Union City and Oakland all day, le suck it was
Got to play first responder to someone I found on the trail with a TBI this evening. Pretty serious, out cold anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, slow to respond, significant loss of time/memory, not recognizing people they were riding with (when I called them and we got them back up at the top of the trail). Got the paramedics to come out and respond to the location. I'm glad I made those calls, the more I was with them, the more I was sure it was a significant TBI event.
