Big guy Stephen, nice work and pics going on there!...luv my some golden pines!

Looks like you getting into "Jedi hinge" territory, some good cutting there

Working thru oaks is a challenge, nicely done

 

[Jed]

Couple hinge pics. Weirdest little falling job ever today for the Seattle Arboretum. You fall the trees in these tight little shots and then HAND PACK all of the brush UP HILL for about 45'. Logs in 16' lengths. Hit a tight shot with a big (135'ish?) Fir today... pig was only about 30" on the stump...

Had to leave the stumps pretty high for the excavator. Here's one I lost over sideways... had to hand-muck everything out. Andy was pissed...

All the Maples were leaning HARD downhill. Heres one that did much better...

When I got home...



Watching wifey do all the work. (She drinks the root beer stuff despite the "cough-medicine" taste.)

 

[Jed]

Well.... that didn't work out too well did it. Another try perhaps... That'll teach me to drink and post.

Good stuff. Katy says they used to play "wedding" this time of year when the blossoms fell.

Nice pics Jed. We've only got a few trees in bloom already.

Only picture from Tuesday's county ditch cleaning. One of the guys got this pic after getting a call from a friend asking about getting hired with us. His buddy's response was " wtf, are you serious? Screw that". I guess he wasn't meant for it That was a rough day. Walking in water is bad enough, but the muck was knee deep in most parts. My chaps got rinsed and hosed for over an hour and still smell nasty.

Ha! Good picture, Rich. Looks bo-nasty!

Makes me think of a dive we did recently for a murder victim..supposedly dumped in a lake according to a prisoner. They asked us to take a look...no looking involved...all dark, muddy water, all feel. Didn't find any body...lots of pine limbs that made me wonder if it was a finger bone or a limb. No pictures of that particular dive but my gear was a nasty muddy mess...lots of hose time for it, too.

Here's one of a cleaner training dive:

Finding a deceased person by feel, I'd have to consider that before applying.

 

[Jed]

I'd have to second that, Jay.

Found this Lil' gem a few days ago...HO got it pinched in a grey pine and gave up...lol

Dumping chips at that high end Horse Stables again, oh, and in style..

I bent my MS150 bar tip twice last year and bent it back in a vise...finally gave up though

Bots what's the gvw of that truck. The factory gvw not what it's regd for?

 

[Jed]

That's too funny about that guide-bar Scott... he couldn't chop it out with an axe or nothin eh?

 

[cory]

Freakishly clean truck.

 

[Limbrat]

Quite a find there Scott, that's crazy he would leave the bar in that log. I've got to say I'm a little jealous of your truck, that's a very nice setup. Just put the sprocket back in place and beat that bar back together, probly get another year out of it. Cool pics.

HO has a 10,000sqf home on 20 acres, Im surprised he didnt leave the power head.. lol....he probably lights his outside fire pit with 100 dollar bills..lol

Ha!, I tossed it in the trash with chain, got good use out of it though

lol, Its new paint, doesnt seem to stick so far, swooshes right off

 

[cory]

Clean stuff is good stuff.

 

[BOTS]

Almost every HO comments on how they like my truck, some ask me if I just bought it..lol

 

[MasterBlaster]

Clean stuff is good stuff.

And waxed even better!

Nice touch on the guide bar.
It's funny how little finds and savings really cheer your day. My groundie/'prentice climber is a bit of a know it all.
So we're always arguing about football and he was going on about how Paris Saint Germain were going to beat Manchester City because of this player etc. So I bet him €50 and won! Took it out of his weekly bonus..........sweet!
