I know the 90-120 second opportunity I had seemed immensely stressful and long. I was so tempted to use the tongs to grab it but I’m thinking-“ Am I going to mess up her eating habits? Destroy her relationship with me or learn to fear of the tongs? Am I going to break a fang or scratch up her throat?”
I raced to the board and the overwhelming opinion, even though they were posts from over a decade ago is don’t worry about a little aspen at all.
My initial thought was geez I haven’t been watching her and she’s probably been eating so much aspen and she’s impacted but thankfully I had to clean up some python crap today. Don’t usually say that often but it was a relief.
