see that's the funny part..other dude is full of it saying they were up all night
The job we came in behind was from last week(pre snow)....the dude they interviewed hired a guy who showed a AUTO INSURANCE policy as there liability coverage...Best part is the homeowner called to check it out and it was a "quote" for auto coverage
....anywho he got a hard lesson...and we got a job, and a 10 second sound bite. helmet hair I know.....My comp has a great qoute there though..."don't cut your trees if they are green and stuff"

Cool stuff John. Their final note to hire certified arbos with insurance was cool.

Yeah, He just wants to cut all the limbs hanging over your house, and strip out the all interior limbs.

I tell folks that a limb that is ten to twenty feet above your roof is like a having a catchers mitt over your house, reduce the tip weight and you're golden.

Nice John!! Very professional, especially compared to your comp!
Hopefully I don't break down if I'm ever interviewed. Not a big public speaking fan. (I may find out next month, on Arbor Day. Our company and another company are getting together to do a volunteer day at Ashland. Small crews, so I may be on tv!)

Well I'm crazy bored today. Snow sucks, cold as hell out too.
Spliced up a tenex lanyard out of boredom, see how it holds up.

Amazing how fast you can get moving on a little swing off a limb, huh?

No doubt, I slipped this morning on a small oak takedown. Slammed into the trunk with my shoulder, only about 6 feet away.
I remember when that used to not hurt!

Going back tomorrow and clearing some more along the guys creek. He already scheduled 3 days in April 
Also got another tree call today... Makes 3 for 3

Well... this was an interesting day.
I'm wrapping up my Wednesday morning office meeting, and my main boss, calls me and ask if I can run a call on the Eastern Shore. I say no problem, and well, unknown to me, I drove 2.5 hours to basically 5 minutes south of the Md state line, to do a 10 minute ATM reset after it froze up in the cold last night.
It's their gas, and their truck.... that's all I can really say in a situation like this.
Erik, I'll be back close to the same area where I was last time. If things go well, maybe one night we can grab that beer.

The weather and my poor judgement turned my two day job into a three day job. We kept working as the hail started today until it got big enough to hurt and then we hunkered down for a bit.
