How'd it go today?

[lxskllr]

Phone call should take care of it. Billing departments suck. I don't like dealing with humans. Computers never give me problems. I pay the bill, I get an email verifying I paid the bill, and it's done til next time. The computer doesn't forget I paid, or misplace the bits on the hard drive.

I got an $1100 past due bill from Kubota once, I realized that was oddly similar to the rental price of the skidsteer I had as a loaner so I called to let them know I wasn't planning to pay it, apparently it was the first time it's ever happened, Kubota gave me a loaner while my machine was in the shop, Kubota corporate is supposed to treat it as a rental, and reimburse the dealership, the dealer sent Kubota another bill and somehow it got forwarded to me, no big deal, one phone call and we were good

I've had other times, I hadn't been paid for the job yet and so I didn't have the cash with me to pay the crane, I could use card but his card reader wasn't working, no big deal, I call the next morning and tell the the office guy "Hey, I have a bill for ~$1200 that I need to pay" and he said "What bill? you don't owe anything" so I had to go back and forth for a little while to get him to take my money

computers and humans both mess up, best bet is to keep track of bills or invoices yourself, that way it would atleast take you, and the other side of the deal forgetting or messing numbers up

digging through my log/round pile today fishing out the last rounds for a guy, came across the trap door from my chippers feed rollers

I thought it got scrapped last year, guess not, I should probably put it back on

Today I climbed for some deadwood and hangers. One of @CurSedVoyce long time customers (16 years!). Kinda really fun mixed bag of stuff, for a woman who genuinely cares about her trees. Stark contrast from the contracted butchery of last week. She was apparently very happy with our work. I was stoked to catch a smoke break with the Attack Gecko.

Beautiful yard. 10/10 will never tell anyone where it's at good. Stephen has taken me to a bunch of those. I see why he's so cagey with his whereabouts. Expect more of the same from me. Too much beauty to risk word getting out.

Yall piss off. California SUX!

I've always liked splitting wood. That was one of my favorite things as a kid.

Honestly, I think for you, it still is. And chain sawing

Not your wood! :^D

I like results when I split. Banging an axe against a bastard log over and over quickly loses it's appeal.

I got over it in my 30s
I used to split all my wood by hand in my 20s living in New England heating a drafty old 1830s farm house.

That'll do it. I've hand split all my firewood for years, but now it seems I just burn dinosaurs.

Moving it's more of a hassle than splitting. Split in the field, load the truck, empty it in the driveway, then either carry to the front porch and stack, or wheelbarrow it around back and stack. I'd like to be able to just go out to a big woodpile and break wood. Stack it when I feel like getting to it.

Yup

This is my hobbyjob…to relieve the stress from my day job…soon as I can semi retire I’ll probably do more trees.

Been saving my wood about 3 yrs for chainsaw gtg, but I’m too isolated so trying to cut it all up myself before it’s any harder.

Stacking is for the birds…

I’m trying to get my yard set up to reduce the steps in processing.

It’s not all that bad. I don’t mess with the tough stuff, I saw it or mostly just let it dry more. I was getting almost one piece per swing today with the 6lb Aussie blocksplitter. I think it’s the best.
