Well…
The feet are murderous. The knees are in some consequential pain. Arms feel as if I’ve been in a fistfight with Hulk Hogan.
But the stump is out.
Well, at least it’s cut off below ground about 8-10″ so it is gone for all practical purposes. I refilled the hole, rototilled the dirt over the stump and around it, scraped it nice and flat, and planted grass seed. My birthday present to my self today, a bucket of pain and soreness. yay me!

Glad you won the battle with the stump. Happy birthday Og and many many more. Now go find something more entertaining to do on your birthday (like blowing things up) Take care
I REALLY hope we’re talking about a tree here.
Tree stump, indeed.
Birthday?!?!? Happy birthday, oh indomitable one! Hope you had a GREAT day!
Happy Birthday, Og.
Glad you’ve got the stump finished off.
They’re starting to roll by fast, eh?
HBD Og.
Happy B.D.! re: Stump; That which does not kill us makes stronger. You gotta be one strong sumbitch. LOL
Hope after the stump was put to rest you were able to enjoy a quiet evening with the ones you love, having a pleasant celebration.
Happy B-day!
Regarding that stump,you’ll be filling over that spot for the next 20 years. Just speaking from experience. And yes,I know the pain.
It’s your birthday? :)
OOooo.. happy happy birthday, Og!
Happy Birthday, youngun. Next time I bet ya go the burn it out route.
YeOldFurt
Happy Birthday to you!
Yeah, why not burn it out, unless you’re in a neighborhood where the idiot neighbors would call the bored cops to have them come over and give themselves something to do by fining you to relieve their boredom. I can so see you blasting it out, though. Happy birthday.
Can’t burn, can’t blast, stuck with digging and cutting.
Happy birthday!
In re: The Stump. I believe you should wrestle nature to a draw once a year, just to stay in practice. ;)
LO!L Tam: You can take that damfool hackleberry down in pieces with a wrist rocket and a rope saw

You just use the wrist rocket to shoot a weighted fishing line over the branch and use the line to pull the rope saw up. Next door neighbor cut down the whole tree (whose stump I just removed) 12″ at a time, using that method; took a whole summer, a couple hours here and there, and it was over his roof, my roof, power lines, and his garage.
Silly rabbit! I didn’t draw; I won.
Sweating and bleeding and beat senseless, but I won.
Well shit. Happy belated Birthday my friend.
Forgive my lack of punctuality and kick me in the ass the next time we get together.
Hey, it’s not a big deal to me.Fact is, I am ticked that the wife and daughter forgot.
Ticked or tickled? Congratulations on another anniversary in the continued saga of life.
On the guy cutting the tree down, I remember my maternal grandmother talking about digging the basement for her home. One bucket at a time. The house was there before the basement.
Some people have it and some don’t.
Hey, happy birthday, Og!
Happy Birthday, Og! Hope you had a good one!
Happy B-day big guy. Getting rid of a stump so you could have additional parking sounds like a great present to yourself.
The only downside to another year that I can see is that you’re getting mighty close to the descending part of Zeke’s curve [here’s hoping the html works sans a preview] with me.
