Back in the 08 recession we were locally insulated a bit by a steel mill coming to town. Currently, an aluminum mill by the same folks is underway across the street.
We’re as busy as we’ve been since I partnered with another company making them a licensed brand of my company.
They’re a young company with a strong marketing/lead funnel with a similarly aged owner that’s a fellow dance and soccer dad. He even bought his Nifty SD64 from me end of ‘23.

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.
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...
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...
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😂
