Jeff, I remember a time not too long ago that I managed 5 crews and climbed with one of them. Money was good but it was a lot of work. Phone never stopped ringing... I make pretty decent now just me and a couple of groundys... I'll take this life over that one any day...
 
gbeans new job...

wow:eek2: ... hope it works out for you... i d keep the bucket and chipper and sell everything else... you could probably drive it there in 3 days.... consider it an insurance policy in case you have tell your new boss to go #### himself....
hope your new job does not keep you so busy that you cant log on here... good luck...
 
No worries fella's! I appreciate the concern, I really do. I am going to work for the same guy I worked for before. Know him well and work with him even better. I will be increasing my pay buy about 30g's a year, add in another 60 for the wife and we will be sitting nice.
SoCal is the pinnacle for our industry. There is not a higher end market on earth when it comes to Grounds Management. I know it sounds cheesy, but the job is really fun and easy. Although I will be workin for da man, I will be no 2 instantly, so, in a sense, I WILL BE THE MAN! Full bennies, which is a HUGE thing for us, try and pay for insurance for your family, when you have had a kid with cancer, not cheap! Then add in my med issues and it is a no brainier for us. I wont keep anything, if I would ever need to get back in, it would be as simple as calling my bank and asking for whatever I want, I will get it, they love me, never missed a payment in 10 years, on alot of junk! Never turn me down for anything.
Basically, I will be running several accounts till the new branch is standing on its own, then I will take it and run with it, how it does will be on me, with a 2% net profit bonus, another words,my bonus will be 2% of whatever the year end net is. I will have a huge incentive. Last year they did 4 mil at one branch, do the math, big things on the horizon!
I will still do tree work, just on a different scale, instead of pruning that big oak, I ll be looking after hundreds of 3-4" cal trees, when we need something big done, I expect to throw that to Jeff. I wont pass the occasional easy one on the beach, like I said before, not getting out of the biz, just going in a different direction. When working at resorts, they want all the cert peeps, and they pay to get them! Oh and BTW, gonna be working in SoCal.............bikini's everywhere, need I say more!
As far as this place, the only reason I wold stop here is for the same reason the rest of you would, the disease.
 
Larry, did ya hit me up on Facebook? says i got a message from ya, but cant find it?

I say congratulations and welcome back to So. Calif. The warm weather will do you good too. Though its a freezing 78 here in Riverside.
Sounds like you have a good thing going. Being self-employed maybe nice, but so is that guaranteed pay check every week.
I need to make that move to management my self. Good luck. If you ever want to go fishing let me know, I go to San Diego a lot to fish La Jolla.

Hell yeah! Wife will be working RIGHT ON THE OCEAN in La Jolla at a resort. Maybe we can get in there!
 
Good insurance is worth a heck of alot all by its self. good luck sgreanbeans and congrats.
 
Man, what's the matter with you! I'm astonished, I can't friggin believe you'd give up the quads for a place like San Diego! :msp_ohmy:
 
Good luck with your new venture Scott. Moving to the land of eternal Sunshine...sounds pretty schweet. If I had the money saved up I would buy some of your good looking equipment from you.
 
LOL, the rumor mill is in full swing around here! Apparently I am loosing all my equipment, lol. To who? My wife! Glad I am on everyone's mind! I might just let it all sit for a while when I go, don't need to sell it, just to urk them! All the stuff they wish they had, just sitting, collecting dust!

Surely you're not suggesting that California and the rest of the country would be a better place if the Southern half of the state fell into the ocean are you??? :hmm3grin2orange:

Sorry if I misunderstood. Either way hope things work out for you.
 
Hackers are calling

So word is out that I am going to Cali, and of course the rumor mill is in full swing! Had a call last night from a local hack, said he was interested in buying the biz, I said its not for sale. Long pause "well I was told, bla bla bla"
Dude wanted to come over, look everything over, check the books and so on. I started laughing, told him to come see me with 150g's, cash, and I will let him "look things over". This guy, from what I know of him, couldn't buy a pack of smokes, runs around in his beat up POS, and knocks on doors. Even if he did have the money, I wouldn't sell to this guy. So, since I know a bunch of them lurk here. Not going to sell to anybody from this area. Equipment, sure, cash in hand, no problem. My name, nope. Going to keep it and the website for a while after I leave. Going to keep the phone number too. As I know, that as soon as I bail, there will be all kinds of crackheads running around claiming they bought it.
