I'm on 14 days, ending Friday night. I got dehydrated/ didn't eat soon enough today. Pretty nasty day, really.
How'd it go today?

Damn. That’s a long cycle. Antibiotics are a good thing but they can wreak havoc on kidneys and liver. .

Not to mention your GI tract.

Stomach is ok. I've never had any issues with that on doxy.

Probiotics and diet to help the gut flora might be in order... I'm not a doctor, I only play one jokingly in real life.

Dr. Sean has a nice ring to it.

9:10pm, got a call for a drone stuck in a tree, dude wants it out of the tree like right now, but doesn't wanna pay my minimum, let alone any form of "hey I know its 9PM and you're in bed but I need you right now" fee
gotta love people, was my price way too high? probably, do I think $400 is fair for me to head out and climb a tree when I was already trying to go to bed, with unknown conditions, tree over water on the tail of the dragon? no, I think its much cheaper than I'm willing to deal with that for, hope the guy finds someone else but I doubt he's gonna, got a feeling he's about to call back any minute now
edit, he texted back asking if I can do $100, LOL

Probably not his tree/property...

Yeah, sounds like a never mind to me.
definitely not, I checked on google maps, its 10ft off the road according to him but we all know that becomes 100 foot when you show up, and it's a total cliff that I would have to rappel down even if just to get the 10 feet to the tree he says its stuck in
yeah, he wanted me there like right now... I prefer to work at night so it really doesn't bother me, but still, $400 was him getting off easy for calling a tree guy
shoulda told him to call the local VFD, they haven't used their ladder truck in a while and probably wouldn't mind the excuse to use it, but they too would probably laugh
it was hard not to laugh when he said $400 was too much, and I actually did laugh out loud when I got the text offering $100

$400 is my minimum for showing up with a polesaw, no climbing, no clean up, less than an hour job, during daylight business hours.
$1000 sounds fair for a night job. But more than likely I’d pass on the job, sounds like there too many variables that are not in your favor. Sight unseen, possible trespassing….. $100 is just insulting.

It's not a cat, it can wait. And he can pay what is worth.

$20,000 drone might be worth it.
I won't even go rescue a cat, my insurance won't cover it and the crazy cat ladies are well, crazy, not worth my time IMO
$400 is average here for a <1hr job, then most reputable guys charge around $200-300/hr after that, last few jobs I've done were kinda like emergency mitigation work and I'm charging around $700/hr for that, not quite a tree on the house, but it will be by noon tomorrow sorta jobs, haven't had anyone complain about that price when it saves a $600K house!
