That was cool, Rich... thanks. Nice vid too.
Cory: Man, I deeply appreciate the empathy, but... I dunno... I guess I'll just say... he's a boss. He's afraid that I'm gonna get fired, because they have to write me up on a SPVN (safe-practice, working violation) every time there is more than $500.00 in damage, AND EVERY TIME ANY DISGRUNTLED DRIVER HAPPENS TO BE HAVING A BAD DAY, AND SO CALL'S THE NUMBER FOR THE LITTLE, "How's my driving?" STICKER THAT THEY HANG ON THE BACK OF OUR TRUCKS. Our other removal guy quit to make more money at another co. about 9 months ago, so I've had to do almost everything. I go, "Roy... if--I don't know if she does-- but IF your wife did absolutely ALL of the dishes in your house, would you (upon hearing a glass get broken) just march right in there, and go, 'ya know, woman... you break more dishes than anyone in this entire family'"? He laughed a little-bit. I gotta feeling that the whole "SPVN," thing is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors anyways.... if they'd a wanted to have canned me, I gotta feeling they'd a dunnit WAAAAY before now. We'll see. I'm at the point where I could care less if I have to go work somewhere else. I've got halfa mind to go single-jack like Reg and them guys. I respect them dudes more than they know. As it was, the window only ended up being, like $275.00 er somethin, so they didn't sweat it.
Say gents... take a good look at this back leaner, though. Photos suck, I know... but what would you guys have done?? This freakin Maple, man. Just take a look at this back-leaner into the house.
I well knew that I could expect a good, little-bit a rot, so I re-directed the bull-rope to the truck, hung a three-strand for our Masdaam, and ANOTHER three-strand 90 degree retainer for the side-lean. Still, though... when I cut-up the face, I was like, "Ruh Row," (Scoobie)
I cut-up the back and started to bang wedges. (Mind you... I had like an inch of actual wood on my tension side keeping it off of the house) I smacked the wedges like, a few more times while I still had like, five inches on my tension side when she really started talkin. I freaked-out and just had Joe rip it off the stump with my truck. Perfect shot, but I'm not sure I'd have done this stem this way again. Thing is: I'd been zip-lining 1000 lb chunks down on the x-rings off of this thing all day just to get er short enough to fall. Not sure I'd do that again either. What would you guys do?
Dave inspects my holding-wood...
Pig was like, dang-near four feet on the stump.
