Nasty pine bid

[rbtree]

Lol, in case you're wondering no one wants to see any vids of you in tights!

Hahhahah!!! You got dat rite.......

I remember Leo. I remember him wanting to kick my ass when I was a newby growing guy and I "coiled" his climbline around my elbow and hand. Being a contract climber, he only got called up for big hairy removals. I think he'd forgotten how to prune a tree. Nice guy, if a bit gruff. He told me that he didn't smoke weed while climbing because the trees wouldn't speak to him when he was stoned. I guess he liked to hear them beg for their lives.

This is a heckuva post, Darin...got any more Leo color for us??

Guy called me back and said forest service can't scrape it together right now.

Maybe the bid goes up as the tree gets worse? Or maybe it just falls down? Bummer.

 

[squisher]

I'd feel relieved not to have to deal with it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Send in Burnam


Aint he on the payroll even though it is in another state?



I was hoping you would get that one Willie just for the epic awesomeness of it..

And then there is that part of me that also would rather you not..

 

[TreeDimensional]

Yup Haythead! You sound all relaxed!

 

[Old Monkey]

I would too. Maybe snow will get the job done.

 

[sotc]

I wanted the oneday chaching

 

[squisher]

Ahhhh you bid it like I suggested. Big money!!!!

 

[TreeDimensional]

I can just see the headlines!

SOTC breaks the USFS and the Government!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Curious... Were you doing the clean up or does the FS handle it?

 

[sotc]

Bid it both ways, me or general contractor. Wood just had to be moved, brush chipped if we did it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Wet wind driven snow would probably help out the top

And that tree needed bid for chaching. Scary bastage. A lot of rope man.

 

[Old Monkey]

Well it doesn't say "Will Do Scary Shit for Money" on Willie's bumper for nothing.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Bid subject to pucker exponent.

 

[sotc]

Good idea for a bullet point Darin!

Stephen, that goes without saying

 

[darkstar]

Just suck it up and climb it ...
At least climb it ,i didnt read the entire thread maybe you already did
The center of that pine might be solid as a rock .
Tooth pick it out - you might be just fine .

Id want a safety point somehwre so i could get free and take a swing.

 

[sotc]

Man it was peacefull for awhile

 

[CurSedVoyce]

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hahaha...

 

[woodworkingboy]

I say climb it too, but only in your dreams when you are in your pjs and safely tucked away under the covers. Nice job, Willie!

 

[treesandsurf]

Willie you ever hear back about this tree?

Willie: Great seeing you and Trevin at the gtg! Personally, I think SoonerFan had the best post, something about, "Bid high, and hope someone else gets it."

When I look at that tree, all I can think about is the "break-away lanyard" thread that somebody started. Here's why: what if, somebody gutsy--not me--secured a T.I.P. as high as he could in the nearest sound tree. Next, he trows the hypothetical break-away lanyard on his saddle. Next, he has an experienced and trustworthy groundman--Cody?--control what amounts to a human tag-line from the ground--using the grcs or wraps around a tree or whatever--so as to prevent the valorous man from slamming into the trunk of the tie-in tree, should the whole deal go south. What say you?

I've had two Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA's on an empty stomach, and I can ALMOST picture myself doing it. Edit--I can almost see a valorous man doing it. Would I/he have to do it stone sober?

Holy Smoke!! Disregard. The drink slowed my brain even more--if that's possible: I just saw the date on the thread. Holy Smoke Treesandsurf! Why ya gotta go and throw me off like that man! And here I thought that my buddy Willie was in a jam!
