Note taken! try and get a video on the stub for fun heavy lean to the house and dead dead dead!

Chunk of fire wood for sure.... !

Had to run to the valley for groceries as we were rained out of a sweet little felling job today. Probably end up doing that one on Saturday weather pending. Stopped at an estimate for a gray pine removal and landed it. Pretty much a bomb and flop job. No clean up 75 footer with a DBH of about 34" . Leaning mostly dead next to a black smith shop. The guy even has a couple of tops of a very old castle chimney from some where in Europe on his chimney. Straw bale house with a roof that resembles the lines of a thatch only made of lead. Pretty cool. See if I can get some pics when I do it.

I brought my camera along when I had my bicep tendon operated on a couple weeks ago, asked the doc if somebody could snap a couple pictures and he took them himself.

Best wishes for tomorrow.

Totally gapped and forgot the camera.
I'm alive and well. Apparrently it all went OKl. I don't remember talking to the Dr. after surgery, if I did.
My wife did.
I feel great. RN said pain meds will wear off arount 3am and told me to take the norcos (hydrocodone) before I go to sleep.

Drugs are good.

This is my 6th knee surgery and the best yet, as far as how I feel the first day postop.

Good deal, Jesse. And getting old sucks.

 

[Treepreacher51]

I'm only 36 so I wouldn't know. I'll have to take your work on it

I do know it is kinda like Indiana Jones said, its not so much the years , but the miles.

BTW any idea why my age is'nt displayed below my avatar? I tried to fix it a while back to no avail.

Thanks Brian.

 

[SkwerI]

Yer welcome. Now you have to think of an appropriate user title to put under your name. Willie already has 'punk' taken.

 

[Treepreacher51]

Funny, I thought those were given by MB.
I'll think on it. Any ideas.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hope your healing goes well Jesse.

 

[Treepreacher51]

While I've been snowed in the lathe has been running.
Been playing around with a salt/pepper grinder design.

I had a block of old growth redwood that I brought back from California in -89. I wanted to make matching sets for myself and my two redwood climbing buddies.

While I was at it, I got carried away and made several sets in elm burl and one in yew.

Stig, Are you interested in selling any of those? They are gorgeous. If so PM me, I would be interested.

 

[squisher]

Wow! Awesome craftsmanship.

 

[brendonv]

Damn.

I want to get into it, thinking a corner of the basement with a shelter around it.

 

[Treepreacher51]

Very nice.

I'm skeeered to death of the opiate painkillers. They prescribed 80 of them. I took 2 yesterday and don't plan to take any more. Ibuprofen should cut it from here on out.

They sell for 2-3 bucks a pop around here on the street. The OC 80's go for 25-30 bucks each. I have 78 left. Should I start auction. JK

 

[sotc]

See, the drugs are kicking in already!

 

[squisher]

Holy crap! I'm gonna be rich!!!!

See the demented king in the right hand shaker of the 2 in lower right? He's got a crown, kinda long hair, mustache askew, and goatee!

Are you refering to treepreachers opiate painkillers?????

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Simply beautiful work Stig.

Slayed trees that were growing up through trees today that were challenging and kept me on my toes. Pretty much had to walk them down out of the trees they had grown into.
Did a few ugly hollow ones. Few leaners. Burned all the slash and bucked the wood for firewood. Only one more tree marked for felling over there and some clean up of a couple that fell in the storms. I have to get permission to climb the last one or squish some trees they had not marked. It is surrounded with enough canopy on it to lay waste to about three trees any which way I fall it. Not to mention a nice fence. Sooooooooo.... Call them tonight and get it lined up for a later date or meet with them to make a plan.. NP.
I might go TD that very dead gray pine in that memorial garden tomorrow... See how I feel about it.
