Wow Paul, sounds like my kinda day! Except I probably couldn't afford to live on a schedule like that. 
3 jobs today. First was pulling vines out of 3 big oaks and a few smaller trees along a subdivision entranceway. Some deadwooding on the big oaks as well, although they weren't bad since I climbed all of them about 2 years ago. Much faster and easier with the bucket (damn I'm getting spoiled!).
Second job was some minor trimming on 3 oaks- a little elevation over the house and just the big deadwood. I was able to set up inbetween all of them in the driveway and got everything from one setup. That took about an hour and then we went to lunch (12:30).
After lunch I got a couple big dead limbs out of a dying oak that were over the power lines (city won't let them cut it down but it's rotten and falling apart, a real danger). Trimmed a couple other trees back from the building and elevated over the parking lot, and trimmed a palm tree. Was done and had the truck parked by 3:30.
Tomorrow I have a short day, only a couple hours. Clean up one big Camphor that's all over a house (shades 70% of the roof), trim a dozen palms and touch up a couple small trees. Will be done and home before lunch.

Today was a maintenance day. Cleaned up saws, did some chain filing, changed the oil in my 3/4 ton & cleaned the K&N air filer. Tomorrow I'll prolly be tearin' into the 3/4 ton's front end... new ball joints and new outer axleshaft u-joints. Repack the bearings while I'm in there. I hate doin' ball joints!!!

Rain and thunderstorms this morning, so no work again. Now it's dropping the first snow of the season.
Sigh... I miss summer already.

Major trimmed a large Zelkova today. After all day in a bucket hanging from a crane, just as we were about to pack up, the old guy comes out of the house and says he wants all the branches removed, and doesn't care if the tree dies. I got dropped off to cut where the main leads diverged, another guy got lifted up seven times to cable to the crane. We got out of there at dark> I'm beat. The crane operator who ran the job gave me some extra pay, plus next year's firewood stash got a good early start.

Estimating today as per usual.
Took down a POS multi stemmed lawson cypress that had collapsed and was leaning over a conservatory and fence etc. It was 'cable braced' with some dodgy wire and gripples that had grown into it. It was a real PITA to take down. lumps hanging off cables everywhere LOL
Then the next door neighbour reversed her car out into the dump trailer and blamed me LOL even though I told her i'd move when she was ready to go out

Rare for a Saturday, took the day off. Took Palmer out to an island and let him chase a stick. I can hardly believe we are into October and still getting in the water. The water is trying to creep below 80, but still has not done it. Sweet.

I drove my son into Lexington for a 'sword seminar'. Three hours of sticks and stories. Interesting. (I stayed for about an hour)

Erie and Niagara Counties got blasted with heavy wet snow thursday night. We got work for the rest of the winter. Power is still out in some areas.
Any tree that hadn't dropped it's leaves yet suffered. Really a shame, alot of trees are gonna have to be removed, some of them there's nothing left but a trunk and broken stubs.
I'll take pics.
