I can do one of these every day of the week, if I?m not running my felcos of course. Easy peasy.

More rain! I really need some Filson gear, and to man up. Its a blessing this week, beyond building a chipper body, my current body gets picked up on saturday. After work the last three nights my knees hurt from putting down new flooring upstairs, i need to patch a hole in the concrete...

Whose trees got cut?

Different property. I have three long term jobs/properties and a ton of other yearly pruning customers. This was a new customer thrown in for a day. Im way behind, but things are good.

If every customer was as good, if every tree was as small, if every job had the view, if every day had the weather. Was a good day.

My life got better when i stopped worrying about every job, even tho your capable. Its easier to refer someone else more properly equiped and willing to take the risk.

Cory, ive got the drill bit for rigguy cable install, plus a roll of cable to save you from buying a roll. Lemme know.

Looks better than mine. It flew off the bucket years ago and never to return.

Rich what kind of tree is that, elm?

It?s wild when you think about it. I can get a crane for half a day for 6-700. Should the Mini cost close to the crane? Crane 200k. Mini 25k. Crane skilled operator, Mini can be a drunk operator. Just playing devils advocate. Tho I don’t sub out my secret weapons.

Ill use cables to prevent failures, i dont think cables and rods should be used to fix failures. In todays world at least. I always think about Deva's run in, and his $20-30k dollar swing.

Cover your ass. Bolting and cabling a tree is admiting that the tree is a hazard. I shy away from such activities.

You can group millenials in there too, remove the generally hard workers part tho. Lol

Sean, keep me posted re ladder rack. Im designing a saw and ladder rack over the bumper on the chipper when this projects done.

I work on my own stuff but I understand minimums. I couldn?t tell if you were happy or upset. Irrelevant either way. I bet they enjoyed the cake.
