when i made inroads with the local tree services, i kept my eye on the work going on around here, and when the time was right, i showed up fully equiped and looking like i knew what i was doing.
well worn ppe head to toe, chainsaw in hand, pointin' at what i had my eye on.
"whatcha got planned for that?"
"nutin'. take it. stay out of the way."
no problem. i have rakes, shovels. if it's resisdential, i clean my crap up when i'm done. i drag my big stuff over near the chipper.
went so far as to rent a chipper on a job when the guy was pressed for time.
lotsa wood. worth it. told no one. hauled the chips in my one ton. three trips. think dude was happy the next day when he showed up to the jobsite?
this was a guy that was hard to get close to, calls me now, tells me where he'll be next.
not bad for a troll, eh, tree co?
