Nice sunny break in the weather yesterday morning.

Whatcha eating?

 

[cory]

Is that a redwood?

 

[Burnham]

Eye spy a shiny new Akimbo Max, maybe???

 

[Porkbrick]

Nice hot oatmeal! Yes, redwood. Little one, only 150’ 😁.
Indeed Burnham, akimbo max preproduction unit!

 

[Porkbrick]

Time to start choosing colors!

 

[lxskllr]

Purple!

 

[Porkbrick]

Purple!

Purple is far and away the favorite so far out of everyone I’ve asked!

 

[Burnham]

RED!!! Ooooh, those are fine looking Jaime. Purple is good too.

 

[lxskllr]

On a practical note, I don't think it should be Akimbo blue. It should stand apart from the older version. Sherrill yellow is a meh color imo. I like purple, but red would be a nice color too.

 

[Porkbrick]

RED!!! Ooooh, those are fine looking Jaime. Purple if good too.

I do like the red. It sounds like rock might be into doing periodic special colors this time around too. So maybe lots of cool colors!

 

[Burnham]

There must be some sort of capture on the advancing hook?

I agree with John regarding the other colors.

Yes, they are just samples, not fully assembled

 

[Burnham]

Gotcha.

 

[cory]

Just looking at those makes me want to climb

It's ok to admit you are a gear junkie.

 

[cory]

who aint?!?

 

[Burnham]

Only those with no imagination .

An ash and holly John and I did a little while ago. I hate to re- top a tree, especially a tree that is doing poorly because of the topping. Took some of the larger deadwood out and picked the best epicormic growth to bear leaves in the spring. Canopy raise of a holly. Tree work has been near dead for me for a while but we now have some coming in.

 

[Treeaddict]

Star magnolia trim from a while back. Got it off neighbors property and thin out the twisted growth caused by a massive limb crushing a good portion of it.

 

[flushcut]

Looks good!

 

[Treeaddict]

Looks good!

Thank you sir.

It was this morning, and the frost had bizarrely painted my car. I'm a little tired of shaving trees. So I decided to take a break from this geometry and cut down 4 trees. These 2 were the most interesting. The working time was less than 4 hours. I don't like working long hours!)
