Ash, elm and mulberry. With that bucket, you'll be glad to have mats

 

[sotc]

And more importantly, that chipper, darn things are anchors

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Could have used mats under my chipper the other day. Ground all snotty from melting snow :l.p.
Great shots Scott !

My bucket truck I have learned does not like to go off the pavement or on any sort of sidehill.

 

[cory]

We called our old forestry bucket, "The Whale" for those very tendencies.

I'd love it when the customer would tell me, 'oh yah you can drive right in there'. Yah right, fool me once with that one. I'll be the judge of where this anchor can sink or swim thank you very much.

This just triggered my stupid female customer PTSD.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Comical really....
"I can get in and out of there with my lawn tractor, you should be ok with that 7000# boat anchor hitched to you down there"

 

[August Hunicke]

Yes and what sucks is that often they can fool crew leaders if the boss is gone.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yup. Had to pull out a couple vehicles when I got back to the site in the past......lol

 

[squisher]

Yah sometimes I think an employee is much more likely to try to get a truck in where it should never go because they're not the ones that have to figure out how to get it out when it all goes pear shaped.

Scott/BOTS....excellent pictures. You are having WAY too much fun...cool transfer to another tree picture. And a fine topping you caught, too.

 

[August Hunicke]

Jed: got me curious what nationality that name is now.
Elsasser

 

[pantheraba]

Google says probably German or Austrian.

 

[August Hunicke]

What nationality is Google?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

International.... Numerical.

 

[pantheraba]

What nationality is Google?

hahaha...good one.

 

[August Hunicke]

Google says probably German or Austrian.

Makes sense actually.

 

[stig]

An Elsasser would be a person from the former Elsass-Lothringen, now called Alsace ( Since it changed hands from Germany to France).

So my money would be on the name having that origin.

 

[pantheraba]

Alsace-Lorraine...I remember that from history lessons as a tinderbed of trouble...WWI? Highly contended as I remember.

 

[stig]

And more important.
The birth place of bugatti cars

 

[Burnham]

 

[August Hunicke]

I'll tell him

 

[pantheraba]

Bugatti! Hahaha...good to stay focused on the important things.
