polly-O

just roll with the punches! take it on the chin. if u r in IT u r no doubt familiar with net and its forums. the buck stops at the top and the Sh*t rolls downhill! u slung it back, and got it back again. this is a warm, sweet near-on loving crowd! but all forums are like that... umm... this! you set yourself up for it, ol' chap... imo, the 'buttercup' response should be taken as a compliment... lol... if he dint like you, he mite have used stronger language!!! lol... it's kinda like if there was a NHRA forum like this... and all the T/Everything Kings where there, too... and low and behold... here comes Polly-O: hello everyone, I just got me a new set of tools from Walmart, a welder from harbor freight... got me some leather boots... and I been fixin' the neighbor's lawn mowers and edgers for 20 years... and I am going to foller my dreams... and build and race Top Fuel Dragsters!! anybody got any thots to share, advice or comments... what do i need to know about nitro and superchargers! ??? LOL

see what I mean?!

but the thing is you are probably not a careless kinda guy, especially if married with kids! and u said u got 4 jobs in the making, and u are doing a dotcom URL and even business cards with a DBA! and u aren't quitting your day gig! seems a sensible approach to me...

hey man! its your dream, no one else's! learn all u can, discount the flak... consider the helpful stuff. I am sure there are plenty of arborist-type guys, companies that started with less than you have stated in your current equipment crib! laff it off, keep posting, no one is intentionally rude, but many can be forum opinionated. its like the new swabbies in the Navy... 2 days in service on the ship... new boot recruits... and they have to contend with the C Petty Officers and their entire salty clan!!!

here as in the Navy, there are some salts! salt's opinions no matter how they color them are worth hearing... even if a bit crusty in places!!

keep us posted! pix of your operation. you doing the 4 new jobs. the new crews! your new harness outfit, etc... and of course... that first dollar, you earn as a newly minted arborist, too!

ps: oh, yes! pix, lots of pix... the new saws... all the new saws! truck with co logo on side, too! that sort of thing. and wood, as well... few here if any don't just totally love pix, lots... of wood and saws!!

newly minted arborist's first dollar is green, too!

Where is my bullet? Anybody see my bullet? It has my name on it. I was saving it for a special occasion. I think this is it but I can't find my bullet.

A silver bullet?
