Jomo

 

[CurSedVoyce]

200T on the second ascent. I had both it and the 590 on the first time up. 20" bar. Just hung one aside whilst I walked out further or came in closer.

Couldn't start he chip truck this morning. Icy and an old carb, which I'll replace soon for about $500 plus labor, I think

I moved the chipper and loader to the F450, and basic climbing and rigging gear. Started this tree, solo at 1230. Climbed, limbed, almost all chipped, all bucked, picked up D at 530 from after school care.

Going to grow edible mushrooms on some wood. A waste... turning the rest into firewood.

My employee got called from the Union Hall. On the hunt again

You ever check around for a wild land fire fighter that might be laid off through winter or reduced hours Sean? I had a couple my first few years. Worked out good till I could find more a full time guy.

 

[SeanKroll]

The applicants with wildland fire-fighting/ pre-commercial thinning experience (2, lately) were in prison. The Dept of Natural Resources runs "con-crews".
How did you connect with them, Stephen?

I think that the PNW arborist group on FB is a place to look.

I'm going to check in with Veteran Unemployment.

 

[Limbrat]

That was a WHOPPER Stephen! Are you still able to get rid of the logs?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Ray, really difficult to get rid of the logs now. We pretty much either burn everything, or Deck them to burn in the future, or deck them to be forgotten.

The municipalities, line clearance and highway dept. (CalTrans) have hired large clean up crews to mulch it all for bio fuel. Still not an option for the little guys like us or homeowners. Some are hiring forestry mowers to grind them into the ground.

[Maximalist]

Good winter to burn

To burn in St. Petersburg prohibited. Even in the winter.

I am also angry. I can not even eat

Totally understandable in a huge city but also a little surprising to me

I got back out to the gold country to finish the 9 leftover dead pondies down the steep canyon and the weather was awesome!!!
And to think I get paid for this, I know right?

My groundie got to cut a path down and around every pine, he didnt complain though

Back pack with axe, wedges, bar oil, fuel, water, ect.

Jeez Andrey... I would be fit to be tied about that car. You always find the weirdest stuff.

Nice work Scott. I don't do those slopes as well as I used to. I have to kind of just trudge them.

 

[Levi]

Well done Andre.
