Lets get this party started...

[MasterBlaster]

Get back to the top!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Finally!

Only two cuts left.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I made a much larger undercut so I could cut out the heart. Usually they are much more narrow.

That's my supervisor behind me.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This is the 066 I wanna open up, but...

 

[MasterBlaster]

When I hit the ground, I get naykid!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm not above giving a little 'in the field' instruction. Training is an ongoing, necessary function!

:angel:

 

[MasterBlaster]

Happy Birthday

:bday: Well, ya loud pickin' grinnin'chainsawin maniac; i guess the party has started; we all know you are here now!:bday:

Irrefutably, the 5200 (100 a week)posts; since joining last July 4th; i guess we hear ya! Especially after starting this most responded to thread on the site of presently 32 freakin pages (even after subttracting your own ~300 posts, still the most responded to!).

In fact, MB has started 5 of the top replied to threads in this forum ever, and started 6 of the top 10 viewed ever; in 1 year of hanging around the schoolyard; though he still seems to get caught smokin'in da boyz room!

It ain't at all about the numbers, we all know; but that still is a lot of stuff, quicker than any of the other kids; and it has been a heck of a party; i guess he's seen to that; kinda even commanded it after awhile....

Only JP has more posts in; 3 years; guess if ya count both of the sqwerl's lives we know about; the lil'sneaky tire-bait-rodent is up to ~7000 himself, certainly time in! But a 100 a week fer a year MB, still kinda stands in it's own way as a lot in a form non-other has conjured; Thanx!

Heck of a party guys!
:alien:

 

[MasterBlaster]

Aw, sometimes I feel like I talk too much. I wish the post count thing wasn't even around, maybe no one would notice.

I just feel like I'm talking to friends that can relate to what I do.

I just wish THEY would post more PICS!



Thanks for the kudo's, Kenny.

Hey Butch, nice work, as always...


Say, I know you're not the one who determines the crane size needed...but..

Couldn't a 40 ton unit ( I know of some with 125 feet of main boom) have handled that tree with ease? Mighta needed to take the butt in two pieces, but otherwise??

TreeJunkie, very sweet. Don't ya just love the GRCS?!!!! Butch, why use a crane when ya got the tools...more $ for the company!!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sure, I think a 40 would have been enough. That would have drawn it into a two day thing, though. This guy wanted to get it done in one day. That includes the crane loading the logs for at least two dump runs.
Hence the 80, and the bigger picks. Also, this particular guy likes to err on the bigger side. That is fine by me.
Concerning using a crane, that usually is outta my hands.

I'm just a climber.

:angel:

 

[John Ellison]

Lots of good pics you guys. I am in awe of anybody that can climb and then do any kind of work well. I climbed and rigged tail trees for a while, but it finally hit me that I was scared @$%less and was'nt getting any better.

its been a week of storm work
i need to get a better dig camera the one i got i got with marlboro miles its about the size of a credit card

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

That picture didn't work for me.

 

[kowens]

i guess i could get my post count up byb posting one at a time
but this is alot funner i am going to start adding music as soon as i figure out how

 

[glens]

Please don't continue using the format, much less add more bloat to it.

The image quality is drastically reduced when embedding them in PDF and the file sizes are just about the utmost in unfriendliness.

Please carefully consider this request.

Since you have RR for an ISP, why not load a slidesho onto the 5mb server storage you have there and link to that, then people would not have to download the whole thing to watch it.

I agree that there should be a better format too.

 

[MasterBlaster]

My Marlboro Miles camera lasted me about 30 days before it died.
The pics weren't that good, anyway.

 

[TheTreeSpyder]

Ya ever hear George Carlin's version of what a desperate man "Walking a mile for a Camel"; might really want from the poor animal?

Hey Butch. You can get a new digital cam for the price of one chest x-ray these days. Prices are down.

I know, I know...
