O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

That's what I am wondering too Willie... Electric sounds more conducive to flat lander terrain

I can't find data for the same size sprayer in hand and battery powered.
Usually the battery powered versions are a bit larger in capacity and a bit heavier.
The battery weighs something but the "engine" is tiny.
And a nice feature on the elctric sprayer I use, is that you can adjust the pressure while working.
So if you start having winddrift simply turn down the pressure in order to make the drops larger.
I usually spend about 2 weeks each spring doing nothing but 8 hour days of spraying herbicide between x-mas trees.
I used to have a hand pumped version, electric is so much nicer.

Being able to switch hands on the spraying lance is nice as well.

Now that would be nice. I do need to get my 15 gallon fixed this spring to put in the jeep. That and a long hose covers a lot of ground.

A lot of knowledge to assimilate right there Willie. Awesome stuff!

You bought it, better flaunt it.

I have Reference jealousy.

Nice stack of books Willie, I have a few of them but I haven't invested in the Up by Roots one yet, worth the $$?

Are you studying to become a BMCA? That is some big bucks sitting there, impressive collection.

I have only flipped through it Paul but it looks very good. The decay book is the one I have been wanting for ahwile.

I guess I can put my soon to be spliced-by-Nick 225 foot pitch of Blue Streak in this thread...assuming he's received it . Pics upon return shipping.

Might as well share my little find from my camping trip ..... This was all by itself on a shelf feeling lonely with out a price tag on it. SO I asked....... I believe it is 7/16ths. Nice little dead eye for those light rigging needs aloft
$15.99 I figured was a nice souvenir price
Someone local probably made it for a boat mooring line.

Then some redneck pointed out that my boat has a cool license plate beginning....Ok .... Never noticed

Alaska?

Sarah Palin would be proud !!

Dropped the cash on a new 200T today at TreeStuff on my way to MI, along with a bunch of other goodies. Pics to follow!

Jim Urban will be at New England Grows this winter, come on out and I'll introduce ya!

 

[Paul B]

Great offer! But I met him already a couple times over this side of the continent. Currently I am awaiting our annual hort conference / trade show, I volunteer to facilitate the urban forestry day, crowd control, talent management etc. If you come here, I can introduce YOU lol.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Its almost like we are leading parallel lives....

 

[Paul B]

And yet, not. lol

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I'm clearly smarter, better looking and more successful....but I was throwing you a bone

Today I ordered a DMM Pinto, and some rope to splice up a poor man's pulley saver, some 3/4in Tenex for a Loopie, and a couple of other odds and ends from Treestuff.com. It should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I will have everything spliced by the end of the weekend. I will take some pics when done.
