Yahbut, Lyle, ...... those sap-gushing, power-stealing, maples must be at 
least 100 ft from your vertical (except for one). We've seen pictures of the 
layout up there, so don't try to pull the leaves over our eyes. You should 
experience what happens when we 'loop guys' try to run a vertical in the 
only open area on the premises, surrounded by 10 or more tall oak trees just 
groping for any additional air space to put out another limb into. This 
would make a looper out of you for sure....... We often see (or shall I say: 
used to see) 10 times your loss when the warm weather arrived.

Bill
