Radio silence here, hence my job hunting. I'm not alone. I've stated elsewhere that my friend Jher had to go sign on to a landscaping company. I also rarely see any work being done. One of the larger companies has their yard at the other end of the valley, and I go by frequently. There's weeds growing up around almost all their equipment.
If I had to guess, and that's all it is, I'd say that two out of three chippers haven't moved in a year or more, and only one forestry truck seems to be in service. That said, there's an ever-growing collection of meth heads in RVs in the yard.
If there were more ants about, instead of all these grasshoppers, I could sell firewood. It just always seems like that's a late summer fall kinda thing, no body is ever interested before then, and that leaves me screwed for the next four months or so.
Eh, I shall endeavor to persevere.
