I think the green goo is algae or at least the result of it
 
What about blue diesel? Is that even a thing anymore? Dad used to call it "fleet fuel". If I recall, it was commercial use only, kinda like the pink stuff is off highway only.
 
Our summers can be quite humid being up close to the Great Lakes. Diesel keeps well here. Maybe they put and additive in it. Seems doubtful.

Since I put a spin on filter on my tank pump years ago I have not had to change a fuel filter since. The spin on lasted many years and a few thousand gallons. I should probably change it more often. I drained my storage tanks years ago thinking there must be some water on the bottom. Nope. Seemed odd to me. Drained some off the tractor tanks too. Nothing there either.
 
I've never had a problem. I didn't know diesel algae was a thing. I have noticed it goes from a greenish to a yellowish as it ages. I haven't had problems with red diesel sitting for years either, just battery problems.
 
Why do hit some harder/harsher than others? Do trees ever die from that treatment?
 
I'm working according to the plan. If the plan specifies a short crop, I do so. If the pruning is less rigid (N4), then I stick to it. You've probably never dealt with poplars and willows. I pruned these 4 trees more than 20 years ago in the shape of a column. IMG_2584.jpeg As you can see, these trees are in great shape. I have a light hand!) I have not seen a single tree that has died after my work. Max light hand!)

Not tree work but somewhat unusual. I had a malfunctioning jet pump and pressure tank. That was also in the way of a waterproofing contractor. Replaced the jet pump and pressure tank as well as the drop pipe for the well. Relocated all the equipment to facilitate the waterproofing. The interesting part was the well. It was 12 feet total depth and had a 3 foot water column in it. A total volume was just shy of 160 US gallons. This was a hand dug, stone lined well. I’ve never seen one like this. They built the concrete bunker around it at some point. The home was about 100 years old. There is a creek that runs through the property at the bottom of the hill. They probably hauled all the stone for lining the well from that creek bed.

Why did they remove those trees instead of shortening again?

Does your camera guy run the ropes for you when he's not filming or do you run your own ropes full time?

thanks

We have a couple dug stoned up wells on our farm. Go back to the 1800s. The good well we used when I was young is bricks. The story is when the neighbors wells went dry they came here to get water. The 2 stone ones are up at road level. The brick one is in a valley about 20 feet deep. The neighbors all have that valley also. Too hard to hand pump or carry it up the hill I guess. Our brick well had a windmill on it sometime before us. 1950.
 
Yeah, I let the saw swing quite a bit, at least if there's room. Where I hook my saw leash to my harness is about center of my back, so if the saw is dangling, the load on me is symmetrical, rather than the saw pulling on one hip or the other. Less fatigue means a higher safety margin and higher quality work as a whole.

P.S. I need to sharpen my gaffs! The live oak wasn't as bad as the blue oak, but still.
 
Max, does your say have anti vibration handles? From the pic, it doesn't look like it. A 201 for example has AV /antivibration

All professional Stihl saws have anti-vibration. The question is probably about a small Chinese saw. This saw also has anti-vibration. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it. Do you think the Echo CS-2511TES has an anti-vibration system? So, this little Chinese saw is a clone of this saw, with some differences. But in general, this is a very successful mini-saw. For just $170, I didn't expect this quality.
