Wrecked another HOA declining alder in the greenbelt, along a road to 2 schools. Cable line along the road on this side. Pole saw'ed the top from small wood and multiple trunks until I could hinge and manually tip it parlellel to the truck and wire. Chunked it into the greenbelt. No clean up!

Wrecking two alders that were past their prime days. Solid wood. Oozy. Lil mushrooms on dead sections. I'd already dead-topped the larger alder. Had a branch from the big alder grown over by the smaller alder's fork, like a câble. I ended up leaving two branch stubs on the smaller alder to...

Wishing him a good recovery, Stephen. When my mom was in the hospital une general A, she was feeling post- A confusion a bit, more at times especially after wakng up, several days in. A whiteboard helped us : where she was, specifically when she would see me next ( between 8-10a, not earlier...

Sounds like very challenging climbing work to do in snowy trees.

We got 12” over the weekend and another 1.5” this morning. I’ll take the 4”. lol

Yes. This was a nursing award, hung in the hospital right by the elevators......

He's out of recovery, awake and talking to mom. Guess all went well. Never contacted us after recovery, he just fell off the screen of patient progress. Gives your heart a jump. Thinking might have to visit the basement. Normally you at least get a text. Tripped on up to his prior room and found...

I was reminded today that I despise working in the snow. Only 4 inches but that’s enough for me. Spent the day chasing dead wood in two large trees. Then got a start on a large maple reduction.

7 days into a 10 day project - it’s the biggest one I have ever taken on and the schedule is really tight. Approximately 200 trees along a well used walkway, which is on an old railway line. We have only had to climb 9 trees so far, but I sort of cheated….

I doubt I'll ever re-tire. I'm tired enough

Anesthesia is usually worse than the surgical intervention. Friend's 94 year old Dad had hip replacement post-fall a month ago and he is just now starting to get his mental clarity back.

That's rough. Fingers crossed. Old folks and falls are a bad but frequent combination.

@BIGTWIG Nope. Still a huge tree and treework nerd though. I have a lot of old pics n vids that I'll probably post some of to clog the 'net.

I don’t know any retired tree peeps that didn’t go do a job here or there.

My dad, almost 93, took a fall Sunday night. Went and got my mom and took her to him at the hospital. Broke his hip. Couple days of exhaustion and trying to balance a 2hr trip to the hospital and work. They scheduled him for surgery today and we are down here together. Mom can't drive at night...

I think I have a Big Boy or something around here somewhere...

I have known multiple guys who were good at their craft who retired and came back multiple times...that's what you get for being skilled. ;-)

I follow some guardian livestock dogs on some platform or other, they work with Recon Cat protecting goats.

@cory Did you unretire?
