Yo, 74..........sunny, nice ocean air, good food everywhere. Running 110 as usual.
So I got a gift on My last day, got to watch a complete tool work. The builder next door thought I was leaving on the 22, so he sent in a Certified hack on the 24th, I was still there. Had him prune the big oaks, way to early for them, and I called him out on it. I could tell he didn't think I would be there and was like "oh shyat" when he pulled up. Then I got to watch him work. OMFG, what a freaking joke. Must have had his chain on backwards as he took as long to cut a 8"er as it would take to cut a stump, bad cuts, peels, the works. I told the builder not to touch the trees as he ripped out most of the roots, 360 around it, now it lost maybe 35-40% of canopy. Trees are doomed. Here is the kicker! I got it all on the GoPro! I will get it up when I get all my stuff here, you guys will freaking love this. I have always wanted to see him climb and on my last day in Iowa, and there he was!A gift from the tree gods!
Oh and this guy is a CA, wonder if the ISA would like a copy of the vid.
I am here now, and will be diggin in on Wednesday, so I will not be around much, till I get a handle on my job and have everything running on all 8, seeya fellas!
