Decent ash we took down lately. Nice weather, nice people, went well.

Mesquite trees are loco

Can you say, "heavy leaner"? :D

Me too. I'm just getting my knee therapy done.

Wooo. I got jack done for work today.

I did 12 hours today and didn’t even touch a saw. Two estimates this morning, repairs at the shop (broken 1/2” tap, fml swearing lots of swearing) phone calls, invoices, hardware store run X2, picked up kids at school, made dinner, off for three more emergency calls after freak wind event, and...

Good stuff. Yeah from my armchair I'd say dial it back a tad while the dialing is good. Likely El Jeffe would have you put in 60+ hours/wk yet precisely because you are so crucial to the biz, you probably have more clout than you realize and if you say e.g. gotta keep it to 40 hrs max, you...

Well sounds good. Be careful with that dealio. KOT on YT and IG gives good, basic, simple knee rehab and strengthening info. Meanwhile, lil Jet Li insight here- https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/movies/jet-li-beyond-life-death.html?unlocked_article_code=1.eVA.gBj8.U1hNqxm86Npc&smid=url-share

Colorado last week

Spent the day in the park across from the hospital waiting on my mom having kidney stone procedure done. Nice break. Vermillion flycatcher Unusual for here blue gum euc (I think) Straight vs. the mostly codominant red gums we mostly have

Still alive and kicking. Been spending less time online and I haven’t been receiving alerts to well when I am. Trying to keep my hours at work down between 40 and 50 hours a week now. I am growing tired of this work thing. Don’t confuse this with getting lazy. I just want my physical and...

@cory Sorry I missed your question somehow. The knee injury is still questionable. The braces help immensely. I was wearing one for work and one for class. Now I just wear it for class. I still get a slight burning sensation in the evening when I put pressure on it. I was very close to going...

Interesting potential removal job. They are bigger than they look of course.

I faintly remember the days when being up and at 'em for 18 hrs was nothing, and I could do it for days on end. Nowadays, it would take me three days to recover, if I even made it through at all :). Youth is a wonderful thing!

Good day out yesterday at the fights. 79 fights in the end. Felt a bit sorry for Haakon as he was there at 0830 and I picked him up from the ferry at 2355 last night. I left about 1830 as I wanted to get home. Then up the gym today for another clinch session followed by a few rounds on the pads.

bump. A lot of useful tips in one place! One more from Beranek’s working climber series. If you can’t use the girth hitch 18” from the end and you need to use the pile hitch-half hitches-clove hitch method and the little rope tip beyond the clove hitch is bending over, use electrical tape to...

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. It’s amazing how new phone cameras can get the tricky exposures. The picture of two people with the baby and the night sky draws me in like it’s telling a story.

Kayak to a jetpack ride to the top again.

Meh. There's always going to be a need for experienced fellers with boots on the ground. Mechanization is always the first step in the path to automation. That said, I don't think we have as much to worry about and the fearmongers would like us too.
