"K-9" is most common, Stig- but I think both are correct as it's just a shorthand for "canine", anyways.
How'd it go today?

So far no poison Ivy
but the vine work kicked my butt today and could have and should have been easy as the trees its in are junk but must be approved by the association first
Had the vine removal been hourly Id' be tickled but to know I spent hrs there and could have done it in half the time taking the junk out too!

I finished up the rest of a commercial trimming job, and removed a 30" camphor lead [city of winter park just loves me].
Stig is probably the most well rounded guy that I know of.
Yesterday I removed about a dozen Italian cypress trees and a liquid amber and a birch. I could really tell that my workin out has paid off. Normally I would have busied myself with something while my guys cleaned up but I helped them pack the wood out of the backyard. Today I worked on my pickup. Yeah I'll take the black oak stump Steve. I can come up and get it any time.

Today I saw a Korean looking fellow cutting his small front lawn with a butcher knife. He was doing it like it was the most normal thing in the world.

There was a Japanese family that lived next door to a house I rented in NC a long time ago...the whole family went out together to cut the lawn with large scissors. I am not making this up

Oh, I'm sure it was the norm for them, alright. Different strokes for different folks.

Decent day at work today, couple prunes, couple td's and some bids. Looked at a nice crane job by a winery, Lake Breeze winery on the Naramata Bench, if we get it it'll make for some nice pictures. They've recently built what is pretty much the nicest house I've ever seen, and the view's pretty purty. Here's a link which shows the lombardy's we may take out in the background.

Now you have a helmet that matches your saw. 
They going to replace the lombardy's or leave the view? Nice place mang.

A fireman's helmet would be pretty cool, but heavier than I'd probably like.

I dig hammocks.
I had one a buddy gave me that was retired from service (the helmet, not my buddy), it was indeed a heavy bugger.

Just call me the tree assassin. 
First job today was killing four camphor trees. A few obstacles typical in residential work but nothing complicated. I killed all four in 3 hours from two setups (only dropped one limb on the truck).
Second job was a backyard laurel oak removal that had split out a couple weeks ago. Tight access and a fair amount of wood, as well as half the canopy hanging over the fence into the neighbor's yard. I pulled everything back into our customer's yard and landed it between my truck and the pool screen.
I had several spectators today on both jobs. It was a fun day but quite hot this afternoon. We shouldn't be getting this kind of heat until May.

Woke up this morning looking at ominous clouds and a chilly win this morning. I was supposed to kill about 7 remains of oaks broken by the storms. They are further South from me and sure enough, got rained out over there. I decided not to take the risk of the rain and called it off before we made the drive.
So I ran some errands and got some rest. Ordered the proper Jeep parts... Took a nap. Nice day

Roof was on by 12:30. gutters and downspouts done at 2pm, they flat smoked through it today! I bought a case and a half of beer for the crews for getting it done as well, and fast as they did!
Went to my nephews setting off party tonight. The patriot guard came out and did an extremely nice presentation, gave him a "We support our troops" flag that was signed by many more than were there. Terribly gracious bunch of nice people!
I got some really good pics of it all, but having some really mixed emotions about it all, so I can't say I'll post them yet.
