<P><b><font color="#3333FF"><font size=+2>Hello Everyone</font></font></b>,
<P>After hauling all that Box Elder home, I spent the rest of Saturday afternoon enjoying some time with SWMBO. It was a totally gorgeous day for a ride in the country. We took a long leisurely ride along Route #29 (River Road) to Stockton NJ <I>(just about 10 miles north of Lambertville NJ)</I> when we saw a likely looking spot to stop along the Delaware River and have a picnic lunch.
<P>It was then that I spotted this <B><BIG>ENORMOUS</B></BIG> Norway Maple tree that had been cut down. This thing was so huge that I didn't realize it was a tree until I walked up to it. I though it was the remains of an old stone wall. It has to be just about 5' around at the <B><BIG>SMALL END</B></BIG>! I had SWMBO stand next to it just to give you all a feeling for the size of this tree. She jokingly said, <I>"I bet you wish you had your truck with you so you could take this with you!"</I> Even I had to admit that I would be hard pressed to find room in the yard for this monster. But I sure wouldn't mind trying! Now if I only had a chain saw that would handle this! <B><BIG>:>)</B></BIG>
