the thruth is this, Ive wanted out since 03. The old man was a legendary badazz who owned the chi-town area. anyone whos ever driven on a 4 lane highway or I-90 is driving on lanes we cleared. We even took down trees for the original blues brothers movie. He was 52 years old when I was born. I was in 7th grade when he retired and sold off everything but the name. He kept the name for me and my bro but my bro wasnt intrested. I started it back up in 2000 with a pick up and his old saws he kept. in 02 I got an awsome biz partner, who was an excellent sales man/estimator. I knocked it out, he kept the books and everything else. he left at the end of 04, and everything has slowly fallen apart since. I am not a people person, I never or seldom answer the phone. I absolutetley detest estimates. Oh, and I cant stand trimming either. All I ever saw as a kid was monsters falling down, (3-5 60+inchers a day) or 50 acres being cleared in a week. This residentail BS makes me wanna scream. "can you prune my crabapple?" NO! "Why not?" cuz i can knock down a $1000 dead elm 5 times in the time it takes me to do your stupid $125 trim! Point is , Ive destroyed a name that was worth $50k in 94' due to blowin people off, Im a raging drunk and I just dont care anymore. This has NOTHING to due with the economy. I just cant do headaches. when i see a guy run a saw into the dirt i wanna burn out the tree and land on his head spikes first. Back in july, the winch hook went thru the chipper. its still sittin untouched. other day the stumper chain broke . sprokets and bearings are gone appearently. Im ready to take em both to the scrap mill. My baby moved to boston, I just inherited a considerable amount of dough cuz my deceasesed dads estate finally sold in july. I aint hurtn for money, I just dont wanna work 75+ hour weeks any more. I blew my entire 20's slavin at this crap and all its givin me is gray hair and a bad back. If you read all that you deserve some rep. NOW! WHOS GOTTA JOB NEAR DAVIS SQUARE IN SOMMERVILLE MASS? dont even go there dirty cause jm blew me off. I wanna work for someone that'll let me bring my miniskid cuz i dont ever wanna drag brush again!
