    How busy are you this year compared to other years?

    The axe thread

    How busy are you this year compared to other years?

    I've stayed busy, but customer bid request contacts are low-ish. Tree through a fence, today, for a regular. Small stumping job to bid. Breezy, drizzly weather. Good weekend weather, two weekends in a row, stimulates calls.

    Rinsing and drying your helmet (and cock) at the end of each day will keep it fresher than just stuffing it somewhere, especially without ventilation. The backpack blower will dry it pretty well, I'd bet. The helmet can be done without the help of a coworker.

    Climber/ Treeworker Injuries and Treatments

    Among rock climbers, pulling muscles (elbow bending) can over- develop compared to pushing muscles, leading to imbalance and elbow pain. IME, pushups are good warmup cross-training. Working, also, often involves more pulling than pushing.
