How'd it go today?

[No_Bivy]

Nope, but I told the nursery guys and asked if they knew a bee keeper.-They do.

cool

 

[No_Bivy]

slayed a scarlet oak.......all is well

 

[sawinredneck]

You weren't wearing your power suit, right?

Nope, no suit. But I did shave and get a hair cut!

Not sure what I am going to do yet Jay, I am pretty peeved about it though!

Mike, how are they the determining factor as to what is a credible canidate? Last I knew that was up to the voters?

 

[NeTree]

Unless you're talking to the voters, who else do you think they're getting their information from?

Derrr.

I'm not saying that you are not a credible candidate, but in the end, the media has great power even at the local level. They got President Yomama elected.

Today went well on a clearing job, just fourth day on a steep slope and I WAS looking forward to tomorrow. Nice and flat up and down ladder fruit tree pruning. Lady canceled so I get to do another small pruning job in town ... ON A STEEP SLOPE:roll
Did pick up the power pruner today ...

 

[SkwerI]

Cool deal, Stephen. Hope the new pruner works well for you.

If you don't like hills, move to the Midwest!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hills are cheaper than Butch's tread mill
I get paid to work out.. I was just really looking forward to some flat ground this week.. LMAO

 

[stig]

I'd love to trade places with you!
Highest point here is about 900 feet above sealevel.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

We live 8 miles from town. There is an elevation difference of 1200 feet in that 8 miles. Some people bike it and walk it for fun ...

Cool, I just checked my CEU's for the heck of it, after the trade show last week where I got 2 after attending two brief seminars, I now have 150 (after about 5 1/2 years)! and I have probably 8-10 more coming in the next month and a half as I have a pruning course and a day long symposium on urban forestry coming up. Oh I think I have another Arborist News around here too that I havent filled out the quiz for yet, joy! Lol.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Too bad you can't sell 'em....

I know, two of my buddies are due at the end of Feb and they dont have anywhere near the thirty needed to renew, guess they are writing the test again.

 

[Wagnaw]

Finished early today... Took down a small dead red oak covered in poison ivy, and I was about to take down a older topped and decaying hickory when the home owner peeked out the house window. She was sad about loosing her hickory, and wanted me to leave it. I gave her the "It has high potential to fail, and you're assuming the risk" talk. It's whatev. ...tree is ugly as piss, but she likes it. :roll:

Decided to go prune some dead tips from a sycamore on another job I have, but the wind talked me out of it. It's friday anyway.

 

[Paul B]

going for a little trip with the wife and Bub. One of my clients has a kids clothing store and gave us a gift card as a present. Its in a neat historic fishing village near here called Steveston, I wanna get some fish and chips for lunch while we are out there. Then I have to hit the dump before 3 to unload my branches and I finish up with a haircut at 3:30.
PURE excitment around here I tell ya whut.

 

[Newfie]

Got a cortisone shot in my knee, since pain management seems to be the only option now for regular use. I think I like it.

Went and watched the spelling bee at the boy's school. My 4th grader, Sean, came in 6th out of all of the 4th thru 8th graders. He's a wicked smaht little shit.

 

[Burnham]

Way to go, little man Sean!

 

[sawinredneck]

Slept, then I slep some more! Still worn out, but no more blood and I didn't wake up gagging!

Just got a visit from the Po' Po', that was kind of odd. They dropped off my "packet" so I am just as informed as the Mayor and council for next weeks meeting!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Po Po?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Congrats to Sean, great job....

Rob pruned the orchard and I did a couple trees in town for a lady that is out of state at present. Only took a couple hours so I spent some time with the kids this morning and should get some more quality time with them tonight

 

[Mr. Sir]

Po Po?

Depending on your age and/or region, they're also known as coppers, fuzz, the man, heat, the law, or flatfoot.

 

[NeTree]

Five-oh... boyz in blue... donut patrol... piggies.... bacon on wheels...
