HO got some pics of what I got to do right before the storms rolled in.....

 

[Burnham]

Nice pics!

 

[lxskllr]

I thought so too, especially for a homeowner. They really captured the spirit of it all.

This is trusting your fellow employee

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Tight bro.

 

[Kaveman]

Anybody else hear a squeaky noise looking at that pic?

Nice one @treebilly !!!!

Hey rubbin is racin!

 

[treebilly]

A bit nerve wracking all day but got it done. We kept it to around 30% capacity just as extra precaution. After seeing the care we taking and offering a bit of free pruning we gained access to the parking lot on the other side. Unfortunately we need to do it on Saturday though. As a topper for the day the alternator quit on my way back to the shop. I shut down everything I could and made it about two miles from base when it quit. Hopefully have a new one when I get in, in the morning

Looking at your puter screen in the crane, I'm guessing that after awhile, you can usually closely guess all those parameters and then check your feel on the screen

 

[treebilly]

Yeah I can feel when I’m getting out there and the preload pretty well with out looking. Definitely feel the flex in the whole thing working out that far

12 Robustas in a day, plenty of side guying.

 

[Ryan]

New roof on a storage tank. Nothing to do with our guys but it was outside the lunchroom so I got a pic.

 

[Bodean]

2 for 1 These two were hooked up about 90 feet up…

 

[cory]

robusta, that's a damn cool name for tree which I'll venture to guess is indeed rather robust.

How's the contract climbing going? @Bodean And the running?

 

[Bodean]

Well, contract cutting is ok.. pretty spotty and spontaneous..
i made my first goal of Halloween and now I’m shooting for St Patrick’s Day ☘️.

I really have no plan for anything, do you guys just keep doing tree work forever?

Running is good, I have a 50k tomorrow from Hilo to volcano. Should be fun.

How are you?

No, I figure old age will kill me eventually.
Till then............yes!

 

[cory]

No plan for anything, yes that sounds quite familiar to me, just saying. Well except for the job at hand.

50k is rad.

Imo you could be super thankful you are capable of that. Is it hard to blend treework with running? I'm frequently shot (or shattered, as Mick would say) after a day of treework.

 

[Bodean]

Yes pretty crappy blending treework w Running.… and trying to dirt bike at least once a week just trails…

Today I ran 5 hours 2 minutes for 50k….
I got third overall…. Cramps got me for a few miles had to walk.
2nd place was a woman in her 60’s named Vicky.

 

[treebilly]

Deva I’d say you did fine. With your time that’s like 9minutes a mile, right? To me the whole running for fun is nuts but who knows how I’ll feel about it next year.

 

[cory]

Nice going!

How many miles/week training does it take to do that 50k?

 

[stig]

My veterinarian friend had a Birch that had to go.
So a bunch of us showed up today and had a good time demolishing it.

Vicky sounds like a badass, third place not so much. Impressive!

 

[Bodean]

It’s more or less like a shuffle after 20 miles which in my mind is like endless ground work in tree work,
more about time on your feet moving w purpose… Cory I started running mid August after my hernia surgery.. so 4 months maybe 30-40 miles a week, but I was skimping the base, wasn’t really ready just wanted to do one for the mental and check fitness status.. gotta be stronger than your event.. I.e. strength training to prevent injuries….

Anyhoo. Got nothing lined up for work this next week but 4 days the week after….
Funny how things change, looking back at the mania of Arbor MD.

Vicky is a bad ass, real small and ripped like Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
She said Steady Steady as she passed me up The hill… me w leg cramps cause I either didn’t feed myself or strengthen myself enuff.

That was an awesome post, thank you.
