How'd it go today?

[MasterBlaster]

Dayum! Sad to hear...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn! I've diced some birds before. Starlings so I didn't feel bad.

I had to kill two baby doves, not fun at all.

 

[SoonerFan]

Sorry you fell Lilly. Get well soon!

 

[Al Smith]

Oh all freakin things both rear spring shackle brackets gave way on my Ranger and nearly punched the leaf springs through the bed .I never heard of such a thing but in surfing the net I guess a few years Ranger were prone to it .

Never the less I replaced them this evening after working a 12 hour shift .It's days like this that makes me realize I'm not a spring chicken any more .On the other hand I can still do it so I guess things could be worse .

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Al, how is it that you work sooo much?

 

[SouthSoundTree]

2' fall. Yikes. Heal well, Lilly.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Crazy huh?
This kid will climb a vertical granite face free style twice her height easy since age 3. She monkeys right up trees better than her brothers. Falls off the last two rungs of a ladder. I fuggen hate ladders.

 

[Peter]

Poor Lily!

Being young she should heal quickly and completely with any luck.

I had quite an unusual fracture and dislocation when I was about 10 or 11, healed up perfectly.

 

[Steve Mack]

Bad luck, I hope she doesn't have to have it pinned a cast is bad enough.

My brother fell off a ladder last year trimming a tree, [he's a diesel mechanic] broke his arm and shoulder blade. A bit older than Lily though, 57.

 

[flushcut]

Bummer! I hope for a full recovery and no surgery.

 

[Stumper]

Al works so much because he actually fixes problems. There is a very large demand. Haha

 

[MasterBlaster]

Word!

 

[BOTS]

CV, hope your daughter has a speedy recovery

 

[rskybiz]

Get well soon Lilly!

 

[1BUS]

Hate to hear about your little girls arm, I hope they can just set it and it heals fine. It amazes me how tough kids are, and how fast they heal.

Before


After


Little birch with a dead top leaning over a old slate roof. Nothing fancy, just yanked the offending leaders and trimmed back the rotten portion of the stem. I told the property owner that this tree will likely not make it much longer, but she was adamant.

 

[Grendel]

one more. . .

 

[MasterBlaster]

Maybe it can be fertilized a little later?

 

[Grendel]

maybe. . . those stems just suck water down like a straw. I'll keep my eye on it :what:

 

[Al Smith]

Al, how is it that you work sooo much?

It's a long story but the short of it is I'm on basically the same work schedual that Rotax Robert was on .12 hour days basically 15 days out of the month .The other is just overtime money being for now 7 days a week if I choose to .

It's like the gold rush or to coin a phrase from the song "Smugglers Blues ". It's the lure of easy money,
It's gotta very strong appeal .

 

[ClimbMIT]

+1 on speedy recovery for Lily
