Cleaning up some knarly super twisted up elm (from the ice storm) today. Pinched my one bar 30 feet in the air, and had to leave the bar and chain. Gave the HEAVY branch a pull and all went to the ground, no damage! Thanksgiving.
Was breaking in a new bucket operator today. He's ten, and cost 5 dollars.

His brother was about 10 or 12 when a fellow who owed me a couple hundred dollars, (and always didn't have his check book, etc.) caught me at the shop and asked when I could take down two tall (70 foot) sycamores?
I told him RIGHT NOW!. (this was before I was crippled,)
On the way to get the bucket truck, I spotted a rental 50 foot sky track. I knew the person who had it rented, so I could use it, right????
I threw an old pallet on the forks, and showed my son how to run the thing. Up we went, piecing it down chunk at a time. I kept dropping pieces on the pallet, and busting it up. Halfway through the second tree, I was down to straddling the forks, with no pallet. With a unexperienced kid running a borrowed (stolen?) rig. This fellow we were working for was with his buddy, and they watched this ordeal INTENTLY, with no sarcasm.
When I was done, he (prodded by his buddy) asked "How much do I owe you?" Five Fifty, and he paid FAST.
While I was up on that bucking sky jack, his buddy must have told him I was crazy and to give me whatever I asked for. His buddy no doubt knew his reputation for procrastination.
There is more than one way to collect old money!

My wife is bummed. I just had to dispatch a vermin, and , let's just leave it that it took maybe 6 shots.
She's bummed because nobody came to check to see If I did her in.
Maybe they don't want to take a chance on being the next victim
you know the old saying curiosity killed the cat

You know with that logic, I should have started a fire and burned the evidence. That smell would have been interesting....

Must have been a possum. Those suckers are tough as can be.
Sure. I might actually start a side remodeling business like I used to have. Some pretty serious work involved in getting it right, just like anything else, I spose.

Crap, you'll want money or stuff. I'll swap ya 3 slightly used kids. Cant get them to do much but they like to camp and waste shells....<a href="http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&lpver=3&ref=11" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000203FC.gif" border="0" title="Click to get more." ></a>
lol:yourock:
It's a deal. I could use a few kids of my own. I work with the ones whose parents don't want/won't raise them, because apparently I'm the only one who sees that they are important.
Ages and names?
Camping and wasting shells is a good thing.
