    How'd it go today?

    We did a good sized dead jackaranda today for an old client, nice lady lives alone. Dead because someone poisoned it. Pretty obvious to me it was the next door neighbor, but she said he told her he didn't do it as he liked looking at it. I might be wrong, but no one else could even see it. He...

    30 at night then 55-60 in day time is warm? It only gets that cold here in the middle of winter. It's 72 now and I just had to change into long pants.:coldcold:

    Do they sell GB chain? It's made in China now but from what I've been told it isn't too bad. A bit of trouble at first but it's ok now. I stocked up and have enough old GB and Carlton to last me a while, except for 325 and I don't use that much.

    How'd it go today?

    I've actually bribed/paid people just to work with little result. Second trip to a job where I cleared the blocks a few months ago, owner rang on friday night and said everything was finished and cleaned up. Three small trees at the back of one new house and one fairly big Liquid amber...

    Marc, you had me cringing reading that hope you are ok now. Congratulations Fionia and Mr B. :occasion5: Well it was a long day and I got home before 6pm but not by much, and just beat a storm home. Four pines and three cocas palms, trucks full and I'm tired. Lucky I took extra water, it was...

    How'd it go today?

    Me either, it's hard enough to get going when it's cloudy these days. Rest day today, I had a long week. Just made some beer and sharpened an extra chain for tomorrow that I forgot yesterday. It's going to be a long day and hot but I'll be home long before 6pm.:drink:

    How'd it go today?

    I've done it, chews up the fuel though. I just trimmed a few shrubs and ground out five old stumps. Talk about dust, it's as dry as a bone here even down a couple of feet. If I had the work for one I'd buy a remote control grinder in a flash.

    How'd it go today?

    Ha, stumps. I did nine today for a do it yourself bloke, paid ok though. I don't get calls for them much these days, lots of guys around with grinders now but when I bought my first one in '91 there were only a few and we got top dollars for a while. It paid for itself in six months. If I...

    Be careful Stephen, sounds more like a pinched nerve in your back. That will transfer pain to your hip and can take a while to fix, I'd get a second opinion. Good paying job today for a change. Tall skinny thing in between two high rise buildings, tiny yard but flipped the top into the drive...

    I enjoy your posts as well Andrew, can't wait for the winter pictures. Do you get to do much work then? I've seen a lot of old film of your city, don't think I could handle your winter.:coldcold: Saturday. Thought I'd have a sleep in but some jerk with a chainsaw in the next street woke me up...

    How'd it go today?

    Just cleared some service power lines and took a few branches of an old fig plus two small weed trees, going back in a few weeks for a bit more work. I've been there before a couple of years ago but she lost my number. She found it again after asking the mower guy to cut back some branches over...

    How'd it go today?

    I had some branches to get off a roof so I needed my old heavy duty 30' ladder. I haven't used it for a while so I had to cut it free of jasmin and passionfruit vines with my hedge trimmer. Job went ok, but I swear that thing has put on 20 pounds or more since 1978. Aluminum must get heavier...

    They're beyond count here that's for sure, so is the number of things they have wiped out. Just a few:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasive_species_in_Australia Indian Mynah being one of the worst birds. :wall: :2gunfire:

    How'd it go today?

    They all laugh at that. Tipping isn't done much here, I get a few $10 or $20 ones but it's not expected. Usually it's because I'm the only one that turned up that speaks english.:laughing6:

    How'd it go today?

    Just a couple of small pines today and finish off grinding a stump the previous guy left just under ground level. Nice day, even got a $10 tip. Things were going good until I got the mail, a month sure goes fast it's bill time again.:(

    How'd it go today?

    That would be the new cannon throwline launcher I'd reckon. I bet a lot of people don't know about that, I haven't seen it for ages.
