The plague has hit my house. I must be patient zero because I’m the only one not feeling the effects. A bit tired but that’s nothing new to me. Pretty usual day at work. I don’t think I should go to BJJ this week just in case I’m the carrier. Sucks because we added a night to get some guys...

We got about an inch. Ground is thawed so it’s snow covered mud season now

Warm here as well. Snow melting fast so if it stays warm another few days I’ll be into mud season again

Happy birthday CV

You’re right Kavey. Also they are not known for being affectionate. For some reason she only really allows me to hold her.

Well I was able to hold my own at BJJ tonight. I was able to get quite a few submissions with no taps from me. I almost felt like I was good at it. Just got home and realized that I must now have a garage cat. She’s a decent critter. Comes in the house for a few minutes and usually wants...

Had a climber for part of the tree. He was uncomfortable taking the top which I understood. It had to be cut at a weird dogleg that positioning sucked. I ended up saying “don’t worry, pappy will show you how it’s done”. I did it and finished the tree. I was able to find a small area to flop wood...

Spent most of the day cleaning up a work area for a large removal in a tight”ish” area. We removed the tree that was on the building at the end of last week and now a preemptive removal of another before it fails. It’s along a rail road and on their ROW. Lots of trash and scrap steel everywhere...

Did some garage organizing yesterday while it dumped snow all day long. 22 inches is what the weather service is claiming. I call BS but there is still a lot. Started clearing the drive with the broom on the BMG and I managed to hit something and broke it. Carried it inside to thaw and welded...

Another day of oak pruning. Not terrible. I had time in between to do a few repairs on my 500i’s. Had to fly at the end to get a balance of keeping the customer and neighbor happy while staying within proper standards. A few well placed cuts solved all issues. Now I’m getting a list together to...

I didn’t get whapped but others did. From their reaction it must be rather agitating. To be honest I kinda chuckled every time they burst into rage

Really not liking the weather right now. Not terribly cold but cold enough to bring moral down. Also doesn’t help that we’re pruning oaks today. Chasing dry branches in pin oak sucks. Also doesn’t help that I’m not sleeping good. Might need to cut back on the coffee

I agree. Not enough daylight to want to wash equipment. Also we’ve been having a lot of that light rain/misty weather lately so all the dust just sticks to it. The next week will be to cold to wash anything

While I’m most likely above average physically for someone my age, I’m not a physical specimen by any means. I’m just trying to stay ahead of Father Time as long as possible. I still have a lot of things I want to do and I plan on being able to do them once I retire. That and I enjoy being the alpha

Clearing up some residential jobs and waiting on permits for our utility contracts. Supposed to have gotten them today but can’t start till Tuesday in observation of a national holiday.
