102 at 11A. Too hot to work. Took my dog for a walk and she just stopped on the trail, sat down and watched me continue to walk along. I turned back and we headed on home.

no... first marinade... did a teriyaki and a bbq marinade ( ex chef) and cooked over mesquite on oak coals... ohhh jeeez... aint there a diffy room for this kinda thread.. LOL
If I didn't have a crapload of work to do I would. I gather you guys keep pretty busy with the fire clearance work? I have done only one fire clearance job and that was in Modesto along Dry Creek, clearing weeds and planting rosemary and some other stupid bush. I just got my bucket truck running and the first thing that happened is that I wore my crew out. So I have my kid and his friend lined up for Friday this week. My guys can rest after a 4 day week.

We do a lot of fire clearance here in the hills and mountains. LOVE IT. We try and keep as much "woods" as possible with spacing and such. I guess it is like landscaping with a chainsaw. We also try and pretty up as much natural features as possible for the clients while fire safety clearing. It is a wonderful season we look forward to.. After chipping... burning as you go during burning season is fun. Us pyros love it and the drag gets shorter with less rigging attached. LOL. CDF keeps us busy this time of year with citations.. Yeah!.. lol I call what we do a growth industry... Hey the brush keeps growing and we have to keep cutting it... Job Security.... HHEHEHEE... Limbing does well here in this aspect also... most trees with in the parameter have ot be 10 feet limbed clearance. Trees over houses also in this reguard.
My crew probably would cringe at your bucket truck.. heck they cringe when I pole saw... lol.. amazing how much brush can be put on the ground with one... let alone when we climb.... HEHEHE

Well, another hot day and its 105 F. Second day of weed eating with brush cutters on this accounts place. I think we must take down the grass on the better part of 20 acres this year.. Job got bigger. Hot again tomarrow. Finish the weed eat and then some branching. I think he is thinking of scheduling two more days this summer for brushing and branching. Hard to believe I would ever see $1000.00 weed eat jobs... Who wudda thunk it.

When Steve says it's hot, he means that not only is it hot during the day, but all night as well.
At least we cool down at night here where I am.
