Lets get this party started...

[MasterBlaster]

A typical day in the life of the Blaster....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Getting in place....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Waiting...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Make that go away, please!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Actually, the worst part wasn't photographed. The two farthest leads were a PITA to twist around into a proper position for the crane to take it. An mpeg of that woulda been cool.


Thats the crane I had to meet at 10:00, Rob.

Three hours, $200.

I can dig that...

But more would be nice.

I noticed you drilled holes in your hardhat, your not supposta do that you know...and if you do you it anyway, should take it off your head first.

Hardhat?

Thats a bump cap.

$4.50.

Any other steller observations?

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

Yeah, are you chipping into a flat bed truck?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Here ya go, Mikey...

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

Pretty boring party.
A simple job without the lady's aid (crane), and a total yawner with one. There's the total lack of safety gear, which is unfortunately common in the industry, but that hardly makes the job interesting.
The jobs done, nobody got kilt, and you have some beer money.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Geez, Mike. I'm starting to think your not a very amiable amigo.

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

Come on, I made the joke about drilling holes in your head, looked at the pictures, made fun of your truck, yawned at the work. Would I take time out to do all those things if'n I wasn't amiable???

Please Mr. Mass, expound upon this statement.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Thats the beauty of Outlaw Climbing.

The groundies can do what they want, basically.

Most of the time, it don't bother me.

The longer my feet are off the ground, the more dinero I pocket.



Its their call. :angel:

Most removals seem like yawners to me. butch if it took you 3 hours in the tree WITH the crane, how much longer does it look like it would take without one? 4-5 maybe?

?? Hard hat and specs worn by climber--"total lack" is a little hyperbolic, eh mike?
but that hardly makes the job interesting.
Maybe not very, but thanks for posting the pics. What would be interesting to know is--Why was the tree cut down? Buds at the end look alive to me; only a little clump of mistletoe. If I did a removal like that the $$ value in my pocket would not make up for the loss of shade etc value to those homes and the community. If all we're doing is deforesting healthy trees out of our communities, that ain't arboriculture imvho.
If the owner did it out of fear, then is pandering to that fear a good thing?
The jobs done, nobody got kilt, and you have some beer money.

Yeah, that doesn't sound very amiable. How'd you like it if I said "You got some gear money"?
Mike you posted pics of compost stirred in with airspade--now that was an arborist in action!
