I don’t know about all localities, but it is not illegal to work without liability insurance where I live and work. Very foolish to do so, but not illegal. License, certification, insurance….all can be bought…and none (of their own worth) make one a professional.

I deleted it since Sean refused to answer the question. I wanted to know what he meant by “working illegally”. Working without liability insurance is not “illegal”. Illegal implies criminal activity.

I ran an Asplundh crew for 2-1/2 years. I climbed alongside my crew frequently. I got very bored just watching.

Here’s Pretti the week before. I guess Bruce missed this one. https://fox11online.com/news/local/new-video-shows-alex-pretti-appear-to-spit-on-break-tail-light-of-federal-agents-vehicle-green-bay-minneapolis-protest-immigration-cnn-broken-rib-gun-department-homeland-security-border-patrol-ice

Bruce ain’t the one I turn to for political interpretation…🤣 Perhaps he should have joined some of those other folks who packed their duds and ran off to another country to take up residence.

I’ve been watching videos of this youngun for a while now. Talented for sure.

What loader is that in the third pic?

Pfanner Protos here. I really like them. They're pricey though.

Nearly same scenario in 2019 while turning in to McDonalds in a nearby town. Young guy wasn’t paying attention. Several folks stepped forward and said they saw the whole thing.

I was watching him up until I made the swing. He was a good bit behind me. I’d turned my turn signal on nearly a quarter mile before the turn, while he was a couple hundred yards back. It appeared he was braking to give me time/apace. I think it was either inattention or he thought he could...

Started a big job Monday. All was going well until about 12:45, as we were returning from dumping the first load. I was turning in (narrow driveway), and so I had to swing wide so the trailer wouldn’t take out the mailbox and a light pole. Just as I entered the driveway, another guy took out the...

Couldn’t say. I don’t drink beer. 😁

About ten years ago, (maybe more), I came down with the flu, and decided I’d try flushing it out with water. I always have a “water glass” that’s dedicated to water alone. Usually 28-32 ounces. I’d turn it up and drink it when I first got up in the morning, then every time I had to go drain...

I do planks from time to time, but I find them boring. They’re easier if watching something. I usually pull up a music video on YouTube and watch it while holding the plank. Also gives you a target, based on the length of the video. I’m shooting for a 5-minute plank.

My Monkey Beaver 2.0 is almost two years old. I’ve worn out three Weaver saddles and the fourth was some worn when I swapped over to the Monkey Beaver. I usually get 4-5 years out of a saddle. I get around two years out of a prusik (Ice Tail) before I retire them. They’re still usable but...
