How'd it go today?

[Reddog]

Nice office view Paul!

 

[squisher]

Very cool Paul. Congrats!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Nice place to go to work every day!

 

[RopeArmour]

miss the nursery work. best of luck!

 

[cory]

Paul, life is good!

 

[Fiddler]

Good deal Paul! Glad it's working out well for you.

Had a good day picking banjo today. Hands finally loosened up and I could play well for once. Spent most of the day jamming with recordings plowing through stuff.

Forging a solo path jamming thru the wilderness of music.

 

[Fiddler]

Called to audition for a band today.

They do about 70+ gigs/year plus once a week rehearsal if it's who I think it is. Still waiting to hear back from them.

 

[Husabud]

Wow, that's a lot of shows. Good luck!

 

[Fiddler]

Thanks! It's not too many...I did about 5 years straight of 5-7 nights/week back in the day while working days; now that was a schedule I don't care to repeat.

I like to spend about three days/week with the band. It's about the minimum amount of time you can spend together to get and keep things flowing well and continue to progress as a unit.

Today was a day I thought I was going to call done when the winds were not calming down 30+ gusts but kept at it after the first I did for a good tie in despite the nervous feeling and being in one I was worried about rigging off its self. Glad to have stuck it out as all went well in the end, one more to go tomorrow.

Climbed an pruned 5 cottonwoods for our local Chimpanzee sanctuary. 100% donation. Was on a roll, for all 5 trees, only took 8 total hand throws to install lines 60'+ Relaxing work, trees looking great, got thumbs up from the chimps on my climbing abilities, HA!

[SouthSoundTree]

rocking, ian!

 

[rskybiz]

That must have been cool.
You think they were jealous at all of climbing those?

 

[flushcut]

Right on!
Killed a large rotten silver and going back to drop the log and flop a smaller silver today. I think this may be a repeat of The Year of The Silver Maple. God I hope not!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Worked with a new crane op. Nice guy, kind of quiet and polite, and smooth at the controls. Hope to work with him again.

 

[flushcut]

Tree work is so much fun when everybody has got some skillz.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yes, pretty amazing what you can get done when everything goes as planned. Especially with a crane.

 

[flushcut]

I want a crane!

 

[woodworkingboy]

High maintenance costs!

 

[flushcut]

So are wives but we still do it. LOL

 

[woodworkingboy]

Ha, true.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

I want a crane!

I like when the crane comes out with a skilled operator and I know what it will cost me per hour ($2400 brake job, and now something else to fix on my chip truck). His maintenance costs are his business.

Do you have to get a crane from the Quad Cities?
