What do I have to do to keep my visitor's permit for Wisconsin valid? Eat cheese? Cheer for d' Pack?

As soon as I can wrap things up here I'll be starting with Swingle Tree and Lawn Care.

[Nathan Wreyford]

Sounds great Tom. Exciting too.

Denver is great. Lots to do. I am jealous.

I think you have the right idea, find a job, then move. Why didn't I think of that

Actually, things are going smooth thanks to contacts you helped me establish.

Thanks and best of luck to you!!!!!!

Tom

Keep and "Escape to Wisconsin!" bumper sticker and maintain yourt park passes

Let me know when the house warming party is

Sounds like Swingle deserves the congratulations
Wish I could have started with a company that had Tom as a trainer.

I thought Tom was traning either rescue personell, or a ski patrol. I misunderstood and thought Tom was getting into corporate training of a mountaineering school or something of the like. Perhaps I was only projecting what I thought Tom would be good at. Tom you teach new companies how to cut?
Impressive. Do you teach them how to advertise and help them get a tree ordinance?

At least you'll still have your Astro van (with air conditioning).

With spring popping out here in the Cities, I've been getting calls from my regular clients. I'm hoping to find a way to sell the company. There are enough people who have grown to depend on good work that it would be a great start up or additional crew for an existing company.

Since I've done just about everything that I ever wanted to do with Canopy, I look at this like the start of my fourth career. Student/rookie, hack [during my Evil Tom days], arborist and now education full time.

I'm giving up flexibility but gaining a lot more. Always trade-offs in life.

I'll be looking forward to meeing some of the AS and TB gand at the Rocky Mountain Chapter Tree Climbing Championships.

[TreeJunkie]

[SilverBlue]

What about the climbing/rigging equipment?
And you are going to maintain TB? Right?? Oh yah, congrats on the move, hope it pays well!

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

Rob, you should get the schoolbusdumptruck. I think it fits with the hippy image that organic implies

 

[MasterBlaster]

This beauty?

 

[SilverBlue]

Far out man! But I thought MB had dibs on that chick magnet

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nah!

I'm saving up for this!

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Its nice to see that ol' red truck next to mine. All of a sudden, my busdump looks pretty main stream and normal
