How'd it go today?

I am not sure if they are edible or not. I took a picture to try to identify them to see how they are an aggressive type of wood decay fungi.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to understand what kind of tree it is.

I think I’ll stick to IG

Everyone has their own choice. Unfortunately, I'm blocked on Instagram and it's not available to me (

Well that’s no good

I shall re evaluate

 

[Maximalist]

Yes, we have Telegram instead of Instagram and VK instead of FB, and also Rutube instead of YouTube.

Looks like an Oyster Mushroom, most likely an edible variety. Always cook mushrooms first, and be 100% sure of safety before eating.

That pesky authoritarian government, they feel they know what is best for the people.

But I get it, if you complained you might disappear forever.

It’s pretty much the same here Cory. I’m sure if we tried to sign up for the social media groups Max has, we would at minimum be put on a watch list. I already assume I’m being “watched” from comments I’ve made with my phone in my pocket

Getting a lot of wind. Power is out. I've gotten two hours out of my UPS, with another 73 minutes left. It just runs the ont and router for internet but at least I can make calls in an emergency.

The woodstove has outdone itself. It's 80 upstairs, and I only put half a load in and closed the air all the way down.

Was supposed to rain today and its not.
Still trying to line up work, yet it's supposed to rain tomorrow through Wed. Clear out for the holiday. The holiday is slowing return phone calls down..
Imma losing my my minds. Need to find some flow

scheduling is one of the toughest parts of the job, imo

My life changed when I stopped giving a date upon acceptance of the quote.
Now I just say I’ll contact you in a while to organise a date.
Then at the end of the week I schedule next weeks, usually by SMS or WhatsApp or email.
Knowing the weather for the week ahead means less cancellations.

 

[cory]

ditto, tho I rarely schedule more than a couple days ahead unless its crane work in which case I have to give a few days notice

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just farted around the prperty today. Sunny and cool. Dropped a gray pine with Kavey and burned the slash. Think we'll do a pit fire tonight and roast some hot dogs

 

[Maximalist]

Wow! Now you can post photos directly without uploading them via photo upload sites!😀This is a photo of three elms that I have to cut down tomorrow. Of course, if it doesn't rain. I have a taboo - I don't work in the rain.

Failed here, worked fine in the work pics thread. Lolz whatever!

I was thinking of you earlier today, while being Careful up a big madrone major deadwooding (read: at the bid, I said it didn't really need to come down, Yet).
Buncha branchy BS pushing on my bridge and system.

How's healing, @CurSedVoyce ?

Isn't this the goddamned truth! Just when you think you have a schedule it always turns to shit somehow someway, BOOM! schedule torched.

Very much agreed.

If they want a specific date or semi-specific window, I'll add dollars without specifying on the Quote.



Tight schedules, corners cut, more risk to people and property (customers' and biz's), No Thank You.

I didn't do any tree work but I cleaned the gutters and down spouts on the church. A guy could retire scrapping all that copper.

Just got new x rays done today. I'm a tad biased as I want to be back to normal. Looked pretty good to me.

The real experts get to see x rays on Monday after Thanksgiving.
