On the last glamping trip of the year. 60 F and 25mph winds today. Would be beautiful with out the wind. Made cooking breakfast a challenge but we made it work. I might have to switch out propane tanks tonight for the furnace. The wife and kids are having a good time so I’ll survive.

Back to work today. Three big ass white pines. Estimator missed that the septic was close. Made access a pain. Also neighbor was not happy that we were taking her trees down. Property pins were clearly marked and clearly not hers. To make things better the temps dropped and it snowed all damn...

I often put on a back pack with 25 lbs in it to do things around my house. I did about 19000 steps yesterday with a pack on at the trade show in St. Louis. We shall see how today goes

Today went well. Removed three big ass clump river birch trees. Finished around two. Did some office stuff and now I’m getting ready to go trick or treating with the kids. They can walk while the wife and I drive the side by side around.

I just put a sign in my yard that says we’re at the neighbors. I’m a bit out of the way for the progression of trick or treaters. Just easier to put a candy bowl at the neighbors. Also my patio fire pit and my firewood are up there right now. Trick or treat here is always on Halloween and at...

Nope. I’ll have to look it up tomorrow

Craned out a jap maple this morning with the bucket truck. It was in a very tight spot so I climbed while the bucket guy pretended to be a treemek. ‘Twas interesting. Now I’m taking a moment to reset my brain while someone else is trimming. The homeowner asks my opinion and then decides he...

Three six foot and one eight foot poles all stuck together with a large corona pruner head on it @cory Today went better so far. Finished with he last sycamore this morning and just got down from removing a few leads over a house on a Norway maple. Watching the ground crew do their thing now...

Used the bucket for 1&1/2 mature sycamore prunes today. The other half was climbing. A bit of elevating and a lot of end weight reduction. Also the estimator had me shaping a forty foot tall white pine. No bucket access. I was able to get it somewhat columned but could not do much with the tops...

Happy birthday Rajan

Removed a couple of big oaks today. I need a taller crane. Glad I could get up tight to this one

You’re a machine Max

Someone screwed up. Not sure which guy bid it but it sucked. I don’t mind the single cylinder at the knuckle. Took me a bit to get used to only seeing one.

Worked on this beast most of the week. I called the boss when I got there and told him the estimate was FUBAR and to clear out my week. The pics don’t show the true path of the wires. Also forgot to get a pic when we showed up. Almost two days of the dreaded cut and throw method till we had...

That’s a new style super single you got there.
