How'd it go today?

Good question, but I don't know precisely, because it has never been an option for me. I have to dig a little (+) to find the right answer.

Deadwooded this beautiful specimen oak this afternoon. Big shot for an anchor, srt straight to first work position, climb to anchor for reanchor, finish off. Srt is so fricking amazing. Cosby did what he could reach from the bucket. Hours work

In the 2nd and 3rd pic there's a smaller branch almost in kind of the middle of the pic that looks like it's stubbed/torn? Tell me it's an optical delusion!
 
That was the reduction work Cosby did from the bucket. I dont know WTF he left that. I really dont get the guy sometimes, but hey. The access for the bucket was very tight due to the sprawling limbs. I did the other side of the tree over the yard.
 
Goddam bucket slug leaving a stubbed branch! Slap him upside the head for me tomorrow.

Jk'ing. I ground stumps in the blistering heat today so I'm not only grumpy, I'm hot and grumpy!
 
It feels like a privledge to work in a tree that nice doesn't it? It's been a while for me. I haven't even got to try one like that srt yet. Nice work Benn
 
Don't see nice trees like that around here much. Gorgeous.

Hung out at the Elderly Instruments for about 6 hours today. Sold one banjo, put another on consignment, and picked up a new-to-me fiddle. Best one I've owned yet by a long shot. 8)

I played and compared about 60 fiddles in my price range and this beat the rest to my ear. Man I love that store...
 
Really beautiful tree!!!!

I just made messes to clean up today while the crew did some ladder fuels on another property.
Good to have the dingo back..... :D

Wow, sure looks dry there, do you carry extinguishers with you out on the job?
 
Yes.. extinguishers, water, Mcleods, shovel, rakes......... First.. knock weeds down to even work in them.
There is also a no smoking or fire policy on public lands in effect. Soon, you will not be able to run a chipper or tractor (motorised equipment) off a road... Usually by August when it is this dry
 
Four hours in the hospital with my Sister today. they injected some dye into her spine 5 days ago and the hole they made never closed up. so instead of fixing it they send her home in hopes that it will...it doesn't so she has to make an appointment...next available is 5 days of miserable pain and fluids leaking from the hole later. WTH...morons!

They did a "blood patch" today.

While waiting i talked to a guy who's wife is in for her 22nd surgery trying to fix the damage caused by some "DaVinci" machine that was supposed to remove gall bladder and evidently operated on nearly everything below her lungs.:|:

We still haven't come far from drilling holes in the skull to let the demons out that cause headaches have we.....
