I have an impacted wisdom tooth and want to blow my brains out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Cory. I'll have a look.

Ordered new water pump for chip truck and am going crazy with boredom otherwise.

I'm sick with some garbage my kids brought home from school. Watched 2 seasons of Sons of Anarchh since last night.

Cut timber today. On some billy goat terrain. I'm NOT in cutting condition. Shouldn't have any trouble at all sleeping tonight. Have to take down a shagbark hickory in the morning growing over some some trellises, hardscaping, and a house. I'm gonna smoke that bastard though. I was eyein it up...

I don't know the guy injured or the faller. 75 foot right of way being cut. Eye contact was lost at some point. The safety inspector working with my crew told us he had worked with that crew the week prior and they were not amateurs. Must have gotten complacent.

Finished my pipeline cutting work. Was supposed to be done on April 1 but the powers that be decided to grant the pipeline crews 2 more weeks to get more cut for the year. I got in really good shape recently. We cut miles upon miles in the mountains. It feels nice to be done though. Getting up...

I'm cutting new pipelines through mtn turf. It's so high pressure at this exact moment its not even funny. We have a short distance to knock out by Monday morning and should get it. Then, Williams pipeline sprung on us 2 silver maples over a road like rainbows where a pipeline crosses there...

I want the comm units to eliminate the yelling over equipment from the tree to the ground. Waving my arms in a tree trying to get someone's attention at the chipper, so they can throttle down, take off their earmuffs, and acknowledge me, just so I can say "tie on my water", has grown old. Plus...

Sean, I've not tried them but plan on buying a set this year. Am I a KISS tree guy? Yes and no. There's some applications where I am as KISS as I can possibly be, and other situations where I take what might be an overly complex approach to certain challenges. My comfort level sways that. When I...

For some people, work and play end up blending together. Work serves to both provide for them and keep them happy all at once. I was that way for the first 5 years in business and it died within me. Camping with my family blows away spending all weekend washing trucks and going over every piece...

I know the type of block layer you are referring to. I joke and say "he does the windmill all day with blocks". Picture a guys arm spinning and laying blocks like a windmill. I did a stint with a commercial block crew when I was much younger and there was a bust ass block layer in the bunch that...

I can't answer that. I don't know what measures he takes for his future. I imagine he will work in some way until he dies. He doesn't work his ass off because it takes that much to get by. He goes beyond that point from what I can tell because work is deep in his blood. Last Sunday for instance...

Cory, he is 40 ish. Took over his grandfathers long established logging business and busted his balls big over the years to breath life into the business. I would never look at him and accuse him of being handed anything. He took something kind of ratty with a hit or miss reputation and grew it...

On a different note, I'm working with 2 other cutters. One is decent, and one is remarkable. Absolutely talented. He's a successful logger that makes good money hand cutting in the age of mechanical cutting. He blows me out of the water on sheer confidence, precision, and efficiency, especially...

It is the best possible. It's not ideal. But neither is many of the challenges trees provide us. We staggered ourselves initially. But we are shooting the trees typically in one direction, down hill. What that meant was 2 of the 3 cutters had someone cutting above them and you'd be cutting with...

Sean, it is intense. 100 foot wide lines we are cutting. 3 fallers. That puts us side by side with a varying work distance between each other of 3-50 feet. Setting up so we are staggered down or uphill from each other would be suicide. We stay in a somewhat straight line that varies depending on...

No processing at all Cory. Cut and go. The lines must be finished before the 31st when a certain species of bat that is in trouble migrates back to the region and roosts in trees. Forestry equipment of every configuration will sort the downed material out after the fact. But we are cutting...

Butch I was pulling out of a bore cut to step around the tree. Notice my feet are sort of in motion and the saw is almost out of the stump. I wanted to be on the opposite side when i tripped it and let it fly so it wouldn't smack the downed maple beside me and get me pounded by either of the...

No I'm not is shape yet. It'll take a few full weeks to do that. I can handle it and hold my own, but I feel it when we strip out gear down and get on the road back home. Yes, I'm using a 562 but after years of hard hours and demanding use, it started running goofy yesterday. It's the perfect...
