Appreciation post: That perfect Tuesday where everything went right on a big removal

I had this massive silver maple in a backyard in Springfield that I was dreading. Expected it to take two full days with all the limb tying and drop zone issues. But the wind stayed calm, my rigging setup held perfectly, and the 60-foot trunk came down exactly where I aimed it. Wrapped up by 2 PM with zero damage to the lawn or fence. Has anyone else had a job that just clicked like that out of nowhere?

Come on @jamie_white, those fairy tale stories always leave out the bad parts like snapped ropes.

Oh man, my buddy had a gigantic cottonwood just fall perfectly into his truck bed last spring!
