Retirement! 🤘🏻

Helping a buddy, first job of the day earlier this week. Was supposed to be a crane job next week before lightning struck it and caught the house on fire.

They’re boring fiber, not plowing it? That seems very expensive. We got fiber out here in October 2022, a glorious day. When possible I take video of triangulated measurements to keep track of things plus a depth measurement from a fixed point (laser). Pictures/video if there’s not good...

I tighten the chain after I put it back on after throwing it, usually from slap back chaining some whippy twig. Cool(ish) thing about the Milwaukee saws, they have an onboard aluminum scrench.

The length of the piece can matter more than it’s static weight.

Yesterday we did the first tree job with the new lift I ordred back in October, a Dino 92RXT. 92' vertical, 52' sidewards. It can be 70' up (Nifty SD64 max height) and 40' to the side (SD64 has a max of 42' of side reach) while still 40' to the side. Pretty sure it's going to be the cliche...

Out of curiosity, what are the terms on the loan? What's the HP rating of the 6.2L?

That's part of why I stopped climbing... but more from an efficiency perspective than a safety one. Hard to run two companies from a saddle, but it's fairly doable from a basket.

I still don’t understand how the problem with a crane is different than the problem with a tree... possibly because I haven't climbed for production in 10 years, but still it seems fundamentally the same. If you're worried about repelling off the end of your rope, tie a stopper or use a rope...

It depends on the region. TSC is supposed to price match. My local store didn’t want to, I called corporate, ended up getting a $75 gift card.

I get my Rotella T6 from Amazon usually. Cheaper than local including Walmart. The delivery guy really loves it, I’m sure. Back when I shot competitively and reloaded, the flat rate USPS boxes had to make the rural carrier happy to deliver a few hundred pounds of mail😂

Perchance worth a phone call to see if they wanna make a deal on a pallet for you

You're welcome, I found them from a local buddy, been using it for a couple-few months now. I have more on the way, along with grease. https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/1344967-mystik-1-gal-bar-and-chain-oil.html

Trying to be like @BIGTWIG , I added another machine to the inventory for some personal projects. Maybe it'll transition into some for profit projects and stick around long term.

I don’t understand mental error causing a fall from a crane tip being different than the same error in the tree?
