Not for your good looks ??!!?? Getouttahere !!! Thanks for hangin' tough with us, mang. Ain't easy. I got a right to make a living >>> even when I'm starving to death ?!?

Right on, Steve. When a customer tells me a confirmed "X" amount & I'm spanked, I tell them the same thing >>> "Give those folks a call & tell them it's a 'go' !!!" No sense denying the obvious, ey ? But I can / will only drop my prices just so far... then people must go with the competition...

Absolutely nothing today. It's unnerving & unsettling. Do I hope for lotsa snow ? Do I continue to live off of high season & pray for a miracle ??? What do you do ?

Reduced to yard clean-ups & hating it >>> How's that for attitude ?!? WILL WALK YOUR DOG & CLEAN UP ITS SH*T Welcome to Michigan.

Darin, stick a maxi-pad on the dashboard of the truck. When the guys ask about it, tell 'em it's for when the job gets too tough for them. I go like a MF'er when the help slows to a crawl, which makes them think I'm a psycho bitch. Which I am. Then when the job is done & before we leave I assess...

My back is sorer than a mofo today from splitting / stacking wood yesterday at a friend's house. Whoever said wood heats you twice was the eternal optimist.

Yeah, Jay... what they all said. Wow. I could feel that silent, "oh shit" moment you wrote about. It's in those 5 seconds that your brain registers nobody is screaming or dead.

No ways ?!? Dang. When we converted our clothes dryer to LP from gas, we needed an O-ring >>> $25 (included in a conversion "kit" that was utterly useless besides the o-ring ?). Grrrrrrrrr:X

I pruned trees and got paid. Sorry to hear about your experience with Esurance, Carl. That cartoon lady is too busy stealthing around to return calls I guess.

You're just all hep to use anything with the word "bomb" attached. Such a guy thing. LOL

Yeah, you've mentioned that. But I keep thinking, it's enough pesticide to cover 800 sq. feet & my van is more like 8 ??? Somebody suggested odorless moth balls might drive them suckers out ? I think a good scrubbing ought to do it, but it didn't make sense to try 'til I was done using it ghetto...

That cracks me up !!! TreeHouse TWINS >>> How cool is that ?!? Congrats, OTG ! My truck is fixed : Upper & lower ball joints, helluva job. I owe my guy & his best buddy for the repair ...big time ! We're going to install a brick paver walkway in trade for it, and it'll feel good to return the...

My truck is down for the moment, but the beat goes on... Worked a local job with my mini van & made 2 big ol' debris-tos wrapped in tarps & stuffed 'em in the van. I felt so ghetto, but hey. Spiders of every size, shape & color are everywhere in the van. That's no biggie, but there's spider webs...

Steve, we don't have very many English Walnut in Michigan but I recently bid a corporate job that has 3 on their property. I'm interested in harvesting the few nuts there are, maybe 2-3 bushels. My dad used to lay out Black Walnuts in our gravel driveway to remove the husks, but English are too...

I'm rained out, too... and no hurt feelings at this end either ! Just finished up one leg of a big project (read : GOT PAID) and need a break. I'll post pix when I can >>> Attorney with sick money turns front yard into zen garden... Hey, Monkeywithasaw, please tell us you're doing follow-up...

I still have tennis elbow, carpal tunnel & two cracked ribs, all on my left side (I'm a lefty) that won't heal up. Every time I get close to being out the other side of it, a big job comes up. Poor me !!! Git to work. :cry:

How'd that job go ? Didja make it jump back into the hole ? It's kinda dicey to do it like that, but sure minimizes the clean-up.

I continued to prune a tree today (small crabapple) after spotting a hornet's nest in the top of it. Pushed my luck until I got slammed in the nose, lip & tongue. My bad. Sometimes I chase dem dollars a bit hard. I let the customer know to take care of the nest & I'll be back tomorrow.
