How'd it go today?

[Mick!]

Mick, it was interesting on August's latest tree vid how he, in order to ensure a tear that still has some beef holding it prior to finishing it, cut into the trunk a bit instead of just cutting into the limb or the limb collar.

Just checked it out Cory, precision stuff.
I was sort of referring to mid way out of the branch, if you've a low value target directly under ( fruit tree, shrub,)that will take a branch landing next to it and "spronging" in to it but not a horizontal drop impact.

wow man seems like all your post for the last week or some you been getting rained on
you might want to built a boat (I hate working in the rain)
It's nice to put a young buck in his place once in a while
its good for both of you

Rain, rain and rain, yes.
Really gets to you after a while
I needed a dry day yesterday, to put the roof on the new horse stable, and lo and behold, not a drop from above.
Took 11 hours, but we did manage to finish the roof in one day.

Been up since 3 with back pain. I guess a god nights sleep isn't on the schedule.

Oh, ok, gotcha, Mick. Good technique.

That sucks, Chris.

Saw Troll in da house! Welcome!

Thanks, I actually was in the old Tree house as well for a while, but somehow "lost" contact. Bermie/Bermy told me nice things about the new forum once, so I thought I should try.....

 

[Bodean]

Congratulations, Scott!
Echo echo echo.....echo....echo.....

Good grief. I actually got to run a saw for something other than funsies yesterday.

We had a fire in the rail road right of way that got into some cotton woods. I was the only certified sawyer on the fire so I got to run our new 441. It was fun.

Nice saw, ain't it

Tucker, you ever try an inversion table?

I'm no stranger to long term back pain Chris, ATM I'm almost pain free. All I can say is keep plugging away, trying different treatments, sometimes it's all too easy to give up and just endure.
Keep fighting it.

Massage work helps me a lot. Well worth the money. Its like getting Lube/ oil/ filter maintenance, but for your body.

I find it feels good, what I do is lash my ankles in a sling with high boots, and hoist myself on an electric chain fall....making sure I can reach the pendant controls!

I've just quit caring. I have joint damage in 2 places and the neurosurgeon has refused to operate to stabilize the joints. Says at my age and occupation he would ruin me. He said I'd wish like hell I didn't let him Do it. I've agreed to try shots in the joints to see if they bring relief. Neurosurgeon said if I get worse and can't function, he will operate. But not until then if that comes.

 

[Mick!]

Yep it's no picnic.
You've probably guessed I'm not one for pep talks, or "it'll be alright" shit, if it's bad it's bad.
Don't quit caring though. Go and see someone else.

This!

 

[BOTS]

yep, still on vacation...

 

[Stumper]

So BOTS now means Basking On the Shore.....?

 

[BOTS]

Ha, yes, but it looks like ill be helping Bixler with a crane job tomorrow and Saturday, i shall resume after that

 

[squisher]

Fall is here in full force and now rain to go with it. Yuck.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm glad to see the 90+ degrees days are over. I have several tree jobs to knock out!

 

[squisher]

Nice. We're moving to the chillier weather now. I'm feeling the crunch. Booked way to solid until my hand surgery, about a month away. Going seven days a week now. I find that very uninspiring after a couple of weeks.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Riding a bicycle heals my occasional back pain, stretches it out.

Yep..we've got full color now and days seem a bit breezier of late. Got rained on twice today on Nick's job for about 20 minutes each time. 1st shower (1pm) I came down and took a break, 2nd time was at 5:30 so we decided to call it a day.

Good deal Butch!

Not near that much to do to finish up here. A few trees here and there. I'm more inspired to try to finish my big stump job before we get buried in white stuff. Don't need to get it done until May, and bills are mostly all paid ahead through Winter, but it would be nice to collect the large final payment and not have to return in the Spring.
