Yeah figured I didn't have to mention that part. He had a really nice work climb.

He is a pleasure to watch in the tree.

I had a most excellent day today. Referral job, wooded lot with 2 houses in downtown Orlando, 2 removals and all the rest (about 20 trees, all 60'-75') got cleaned up. 9 hours working time, $850 cash. No hauling, no dragging brush, no chipping, no expenses other than diesel fuel and saw gas, just nothing but flying the bucket and doing what I love. It sure rounded out my week nicely.

Nice Pics,

Today I worked in Novato Hills, nothing but oaks. Coast live, Valley and poison oak.

P.s. Yeah I know I'm posing. It was warm today, about 75 in the shade.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You poser!

Split some wood yesterday...by hand. Used some muscles I haven't used in a while, feels good though. Trying to clean up the log pile so I can stack it neater this time.

Today I watch the rain fall.

LOL, Ha, I work everyday.

That was on a 5 acre parcel in the NW corner of Novato.
Lot's of nice trees and there seems to be money growing on them, Just gotta climb up there and get it.

 

[cybergeek23851]

Well, welding is out! I ran out of wire and every place to get it in town is closed.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Then it's Miller Time!

[cybergeek23851]

Already been and come back from Richmond again. I had to go back and complete a welding test for the job I interviewed for on Wednesday. I did my best vertical bead to date this morning, and made a couple of decent beads on aluminum for the first time ever. All in all, it went well. Now I just sit and wait for some replies from the interviews.

 

[squisher]

Sweet, good luck Jason

 

[MasterBlaster]

Go for it, J!

 

[inztrees]

Good day quit for the day just befor the rain hit.

 

[SkwerI]

Awright Jason! Good luck buddy.

Scott, I also just finished before the rain hit. Went through hail on the drive home.

Got home and my computer was frizzed out, it wouldn't boot up properly. I did a 'system restore' as well as having to run a setup on some 'bios' thingamajig or something. Not sure if I did it right or not but the computer started working again and it's faster than ever!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I stripped out three pines so a crane can snatch the logs at a later date. The third tree was a little rough on my foot, but a good hot/cold soaking fixed that right up!

 

[darkstar]

Back to work HUH MB

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's the plan.

 

[xtremetrees]

Finally got two calls after hanging flyers for days. I went 4 weeks steady four weeks not 1 tree, now 4 weeks booked. Kicking up pines already, thats great.
