Heck of a day today, instead of craning out a bunch of lombardy poplars, my employers infinite wisdom led us to attack them with the fire truck...which will end up taking a solid day longer. I wash my hands of their nonsense. We got 5 brushed out, ready to chunk and haul the wood tommorrow, and 1 to tackle with the 75ft bucket. All previously topped, nasty rotten and most of all, smelly. I put 7 tanks of fuel through the 200t and the fellas got 5 and a half loads of chips! Glad there was 5 of us on that one. Tommorrow will be fun.
As a humourous aside, I found a Kong (the dog toy) in one of the trees and tried to throw it so it would land where Chris (who has a dog) would see. Well....he sure saw it alright, it popped the not so good new guy right in the back of the head! I felt bad and apologized profusely, but I'm sure it didn't help that the first reaction of everyone on the crew was to laugh for a solid 5 minutes.
