How'd it go today?

[MasterBlaster]

Nice!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yeah, nice layout!

Good looking rig, Dave. I like the blinds.

Killed a big shagbark hickory out of a bucket. About 40 some inches DBH. Over a garage. Had it licked in 2.5 hours.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It couldn't have been very big if it was in a bucket!

 

[Husabud]

No no,it was out of the bucket. Hand snips Chris?

 

[Tucker943]

It was a fat bugger with long leads. A few leads out in an open yard. Headache!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Sent Dave up the tree today and I was his groundie. Bunches of multi leader live oaks.
Shot all his lines in and set him up. Shot some rigging in and he lowered a euc top...
Then back up he went and back to clean up I went.
Katy will be groundie tomorrow for the two of us

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just hanging out!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

cool to see

 

[FireFighterZero]

38,000 acres. Largest fire in 40 years in Sweden. Are ya burnt out Magnus? Can you see the smoke? Geeze.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

We have been having a blast working together and sharing old tree stories.
Makes the work go so much faster and cheerful when you have a bud climbing tree with you

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hell yea, I haven't had that pleasure in years.

 

[Steve Mack]

Hang in there, Steve Mack

Hanging in on monday after ten days off. Except for when I hurt my back that's about the longest I've gone without starting a saw since '95.

Had to go alone so had psych myself up a bit, went well. My long time workmate had legal stuff, after 32 years his wife decided to leave. Never thought they'd split up.

Hardest week I've done for a while. Easy one today though, just a palm, drop cut up and leave. Plus got another tree to do there next week.

Got a foot in the door today in a new lakefront area. About 1/2hr away and I've worked there a handful of times but today the neighbours were coming out steady.

From now until winter is my busiest time of the year, starting to get booked way out which is comforting but at the same time makes thing stressful when a regular calls and wants something done asap.

The heat has been relentless here too and that just makes me cranky!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool vest, brother! You can afford it!

Dropped my saw 60 feet out of a locust tree yesterday. Smashed it pretty good. Bought a new one later that day. The shop said there were some changes on the 201's after a certain serial number. Not sure what thoes changes are but I swear the new one runs a lot faster. Old saw is apparently fixable. I did need a new back up saw anyway after someone used are last one as a wheel chuk

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sad to hear!

The heat has been relentless here too and that just makes me cranky!

Just brutal here as well...after 11am is when you want to start packing up and go home

 

[cory]

Crazy heat wave you far western are having. We've been having one of the nicest, coolest summers in forever here in New England, go figure.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Can I move in with you?

 

[Tucker943]

Worked for a nit picking old lady today that made me want to climb into my chipper.

 

[cory]

Come on up!

tomorrow is going to be 80* high, no humidity.

Worked for a nit picking old lady today that made me want to climb into my chipper.

I worked for a nit picking young lady last week, she was one for the ages. You ever notice that those people get the lower quality jobs, not on purpose, it just happens, cuz they mess up The Flow. The best way for the custy to get the best job is simply Don't Be Home.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Next time, just toss her in! After you get the check, of course...
