This is the good time of year for the removal too. All the leaves are off, no pollen, and the sap is mostly in the roots. And you DO NOT want to handle the stuff in the rain. You get wet and the oils spread even better over the skin for a really good case. SO no rain today was a good thing 
Anybody that works in it and is susceptible to reaction should wear a tyvek suit or just stay out of it. I've worn the suits on really wet leafy spring days just to save my self some grief... Aint fun itching especially when you are trying to sleep.

Katy is the same way. I hired a kid this year and he worked one day and ended up in the hospital. He took off his long sleeve shit part way through the day and when I saw it... it was too late all that came out of my mouth as I went running towards him was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Was a dang good worker too. People that don't have much or any reaction only make up 10 percent of the population at best ... The rest if in contact usually end up on steriods and shots. Its bad news for most people. Rob, Jeremy, Shirli and myself are pretty lucky. Most aren't.

I seem to remember another little discussion about poison oak recently.
Household bleach mixed with water, half and half, is a great remedy...keep saying that like a broken record: Bleach and water bleach and water bleach and water...oh f@ck it.

Willie,
Tell your buddy he is being a dumb-ass. Just because you have been immune in the past doesn't mean he will remain immune. I have heard how sick people that have used the vines in a fire get. Imagine what you be like if you get it from eating it.

For the second day in a row I have used the timer on my coffee maker. Awesome man, like having a servant. My Wife was laying on the couch coughing and I suggested she should go outside and smoke some more cigarettes, and she just glared at me. Anyway mornin' ya'll (notice the correct southern spellin' on that).

Back when I had a roommate, I cut a deal with him over coffee making. I said he could take his choice: Prepare the coffee maker the night before, orrrrr wake the person who DID that chore up in the morning by serving them a cup of coffee. He hated anything like doing the dishes, so he opted to be the server. He had to get up earlier than me, anyway. Now THAT was like having a servant, LOL!

Hey Steve, I saw where Butch told you that was the way to spell it, but I don't think he's absolutely right. It is also correctly spelled y'all. And I think more often as well.
Google it if you don't believe me.

That is funny, Paul. I see nests built by crows up in the trees that look like that. Throw a coat hanger in and some ratty paper, and you might get a crow giving a second look.

Ha, good morning. 3.45 am here. Just woke up to find the chunk of ash tree finally out of my eye. Gotta head off in 3 hours to move a load of junk wood, and give two bids at the neighbors.

Come on V. I have no work for today as we kicked rear and got it all done yesterday. I have a funeral to go to this afternoon for a guy who my Father and I rented farmland from for 25 years. He was in pretty bad health already (from a lifetime of drinking) and fell at a restaurant a week ago, at the emergency room his kidneys shut down and he died.
