It was the owner and operator, on a day not fit for man or beast, hit him w/a piece of brush 5ft long, nothing serious.
 
That's true, I'm careful but I also want to make money, I personally can never earn enough. The more I earn the better the quality of what I wish to purchase.

You are really starting to remind me of a climber that worked for me a while back that was from mini-soda. He left in 2003 at age 30 I believe it was so the age works out. Said he was going back to mini-soda. Is that you Dale? If so, you are still full of ****.

haha
 
No I'm on the level, I really do earn $100,000 a year and charge 20% of the gross of the job. Sorry to disappoint.
 
20% isnt really that much we start our climbers at 20. and pull anywhere from 2000 and up per day
So you have climbers who earn over $100,000 a year just to show up, climb and go home for 8 months out of the year. And they pull $2000 a day the company pulls $10,000 that's incredible.

haha no they usually get around 500 a day and they bust there butts doing everything haha.... i need to start working like you haha
 
It took years to get to this point, and part of it is I always show up. I'm never too hung over or have an excuse, you'll go further than most if you're punctual as well as competent.
 
So Dale exceeded in this field as well? And had an expensive appetite for the finer things in life?

Well, actually Dale got a Black chick pregnant from Athens, Texas and decided to run from it. But all in all he was probably a six on a scale from one to ten as far as climbers go. Dale was a take down man...didn't know how to prune and knew zero about tree care. He didn't have much bucket experience either. He claimed he had worked out of a bucket when he hired on but I believe when he went up in one of our trucks it was his first time.
 
No not like me at all, I do a lot of pruning as well, I don't enjoy it as much money's not as good. But I'm always trying to earn more, I've very expensive taste I qualified for a Z4 this summer which is building my credit, my girlfriend asked if was happy now that I had a BMW. I said no this is a stepping stone to something better.

I put my money in the bank. You should too.
 
I don't trust banks, I've no children my life is pretty much lived for myself, I'm happy this way, I've no intentions of retiring. I've no idea what I'd do if I did, my hobbies are expensive need a lot of money to be content.
 
And you should Ken, but life is different for all and I enjoy having the best I've nothing to hold me back, it motivates me get up everyday there's work. I look at days off as losing money sometimes, instead of vacation. I get vacation 3 to 4 months a year if I didn't I might be able to afford to build a house in line w/my dreams.

You are kind of a weirdo. Or maybe just a troll...or some crazy whacko that just found this forum. You seem to be everywhere on here running your mouth. At any rate, your checks aren't cashing here cupcake.
