.57 cents a foot for 24,000 feet of HDPE 1.50 socket fuse pipe. Got most of it home today and will get started on the pipeline tomorrow.
Had a 54 inch bucket on the Kobelco but I welded mounts on a 36 inch bucket. Full buckets each time it comes out of the trench. Thats good! Six feet is a bitch when you have to chip it out!

You have to be code talking...is that 4.5 MILES of pvc tubing??

Yeah, it is going to be a long pipeline! It comes in 2000 foot rolls and looks like the old black plastic, but is much heavier. You cant use barbed fittings on it, it has to be fused together with heat.

Did two dead white oak removals today. One was a notch and drop the other had to be stripped down. Trees had both been dead for years but the HO tried to convince me that they leafed out this spring. I could actually push my fist three inches into the log. The boss wrote leave firewood on the slip and the HO thinks that means cut, split, and stacked. Other than the crazy HO it was a great day

Kicked ass on two 125 ' Pondo dead woods. Late start. All over a deck, hot tub, metal porch roof and house roof Lots of decor. A LOT of cut and toss. A lot of lowering. Tedious sum beeches. Easy work at the same account tomorrow. Cut and bomb baby.

Todays job got put off till next tuesday as he had to take his wife into the city to a specialist. Better man than me, I haven't been in there for years. Too many people.
Old couple, mid 80's. I've been going there on & off for over thirty years now and they're still pretty happy.

Sitting in the truck watching it rain. Got in quick this morning to pull a 48" DBh red oak over before the ground got slippery. Power co did the service drop at 7 am and had it back up at 8:30. HO told me the rest of the oaks are supposed to be ground to sky over the house, not just raised up. Same lady from yesterday that thinks we're splitting the wood and stacking it under her deck for her. Boss is on his way to deal with her.

Yesterday I was chipping some wood... and a weird piece was between the rollers and kinda suspended up high.
When it went in it slipped funny and popped me square on top the head. two things...
I had a hard hat on, Pacific kevlar....and my man Phil on the other side of the bar grabbed it and stopped it from further braining me even harder.
Nothing happened. But God Danged I was glad I always wear a hardhat and a good one at that.
Might wanna stomp on your hard hat every once in awhile and check how strong it is....or check the date.
Just letting you guys know, whatever...Ha.

Geeze, glad you are okay. It is a good idea to retire your ppe once in a while.
The wildland fire hard hats we wear are just like any other hard hat. Plastic and seem pretty flimsy. I guess they are for the little things.

Lot of retopping waterfront property view trees up on a bank. Around here most of the local water front property is up on a 60-80' bank. A battle against erosion, complicated by great views, tall trees ( that rock in the wind, possibly levering themselves off), light tectonic action, etc. Repeat business, though of a sort that isn't that great. I don't turn my noise up at it. These waterfront homes are old, and some have huge trees. Plus, 10 minutes from home or less.

I'm sorry to say that him and I had a falling out before his death, and that life got too busy for me to try to make amends. I'm not sure what lessons I was or I am to learn from his friendship since high school, throughout the service with the reserves, afterwards and through the highs and lows in our friendship. I think of you often. I've taken up tree climbing and tree work (or rather doing it properly after all these years), something that I know you loved and something we would often talk about back in the day. I sincerely hope that those issues that plagued you are all dissolved, that you are with your father who followed you, and that you can be at peace knowing your children will remember the best of you.
A little blurb I wrote about an old friend who passed away 4 years ago today. He loved tree work, he got a serious case of diabetes and went on a disability pension. We used to talk a lot about tree work and rope work in general. I still use his rigging rope, with some eye splices that I've done. If he were alive today, I'm not sure how he would have reacted to my working in trees, if he'd be jealous or happy, I can't say, but I'd think I would have had a good ground guy.... even if he was in his power scooter.
