Haha that's exactly what I'm doing right now. You happened to catch me right when I was making my way through all my unanswered comments.
It's 3am now though so the rest will have to wait 'til later. Sleep time. Goodnight!

Reality crushed. Every tree here that I've known as a pine tree turns out to be anything but. XD
Everything seems to be a fir of some variety, but mostly balsam with some spruce mixed in.
