Well, I didn't do what I said I was gonna do as far as working short days until October. I was on my first job at 7:50 this morning and just got home from my third job about 15 minutes ago. I don't feel too bad, managed to keep myself hydrated and never got overheated today. Nice total of three paychecks for the day.
And I talked with a climber who wants to do what I've done and buy a bucket truck. I might sell him mine and upgrade to a newer truck. He's still 6 months away from doing anything, but it's a planted seed.....

I like cats...
Been to that level of h&ll, served all of my time, hopefully. All I need to repair, drywall-wise, is a corner in the kitchen ceiling.

I got formally cited today for not wearing hearing protection. I was draggin the brush from the tree (100ft away from chipper) and got close to the chipper when a manager from another landscape company that hired us to do the work came by and saw me near the chipper without earing protection. He freaked out and called my boss and I got a mouthful and a written citation. Sucks cause I always wear PPE, and just happened to catch me when I was on my way to the chipper.

Thats the way stuff works........ How many people you know that are dead or had an accident just because they did the right thing all the time.......I got formally cited today for not wearing hearing protection.........

I have said a hard hat would not have had any effect on my accident. But I have thought a bit on that & I am not so sure.I always most of the time would wear my hardhat.But, that is where the problem was.
Safety that becomes a rituall will keep a lot of folks alive

Nice Willie, I've gotten a tip a couple of times now and it's always nice to know that your work is apreciated. I always split it evenly with the groundy or whoever else I might be working with, sounds like you did too good on ya.

Took down a huge water oak...Five feet in diameter at the stump...It made two whole loads of chips in my f-450...and that was just the brush.I was able to get two whole loads of pulpwood out of it and 1100 bd.ft. of timber..I have three more water oaks about this same size,and a red oak that is even bigger to remove from this job I'm on.I only got the one out of there today because I had a late start..I hope to get two more gone tomorrow.

in the northwest, all of our cherry shot hole is fungal-caused. The bacterial shot hole does occur in the southeast.
A fungus causes reddish spots which drop out
leaving shot holes. Once the hole appear the leaves
may drop. The disease is worse in wet weather.

Ha, I just came across this. We're fine - high and dry here in Austin. Couldn't get out to our land for a while - all the low water crosswings are flooded. And the lake is so full, the river is staying up instead of draining.
All good though. Thanks for asking.
