Treemen, the calender. TreeHouse giveaway!

[Dave Shepard]

I picked up a calendar yesterday featuring a bunch of local treeguys. It is a benefit for the family of a treeman killed this past summer. They did a really good job. There are a couple of shots here. Click on Treemen. There is a shot of my high school friend Cord in a spade hole with a shovel, another friend, Winthrop, wearing a flag.

Cool deal.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Interesting. I hope it helps the family!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Very cool..... Love the 200t carver ... LOL

 

[Dave Shepard]

I thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

 

[SkwerI]

Stephen, where did you see that? I only saw the one picture of the guy in the hole.

 

[Dave Shepard]

When you first link to the site, there is a picture of a bunch of treeguy's at a turkey dinner. One of them is carving the bird with a 200T, and a dirty one at that.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yup on opening the page this comes up.... Tree Guys Last supper.. LMAO

 

[SkwerI]

well, DUHHH!

 

[Dave Shepard]

Red hat on left I'm pretty sure is Tucker, red hat on right is Cord, white hat is Bing, went to school with all three. Not sure on the other three.

 

[Blinky]

Excellent!

I did a little research on the accident....Rafe Kozaka sounds like he was a fine guy...he had a 3 month old daughter.

"It happened sometime in the afternoon/evening of September 10th.
He had felled a tree on his mothers Dublin road property, it was actually on the ground and I think he was "limbing" it. It rolled and he got caught in the branches.
The neighbor went over to investigate because he heard the chainsaw idling for such a long time, found him and called 911.
He seemed younger then he was, at least to me, because he always seemed sort of happy go lucky.
He seemed to be a very gentle man and just happy about life. "

 

[Dave Shepard]

Rafe was definitely a mellow guy. He always had a smile, and was eager to say hi and chat for a bit. The last time I saw him was in the spring, just after his daughter was born.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Very sad...
Prayers go out to his family from ours......

 

[Dave Shepard]

I got another calender for Christmas, so I'm going to have a drawing for one of them. Let me know if you want in, and I'll do a drawing on New Years Eve.

 

[SkwerI]

I'm in! I was gonna see about possibly meeting up with you and picking one up in person if I make it up to MASS for storm work this month. but if you're gonna have a drawing then I'm in!

 

[sotc]

count me in please

 

[The Branch Doctor]

Very cool. Count me in to win.

 

[No_Bivy]

I bid 10 bucks.....

 

[pantheraba]

I be "in like Flint"

 

[squisher]

Count me in, if Canadians are allowed.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Throw me in the hat... PLEASE

 

[top hopper]

LOL!

I think I'll pass on the treeman calendar.


FYI guys- most men like a calendar with pretty ladies or fast cars.


Now when the treeman's wives calendar comes out, count me in!

 

[Dave Shepard]

That's true. but the calender is kinda funny. Let's just say they have a sense of humor. I bought it without even looking at it because it is to help Rafe's family, but realized it might be the wrong kind of calender for the men's room.

 

[SkwerI]

Even if I win it, I'm still not taking down last year's calendar any time soon.
