too late bud. your part of it now.


the committee of buzzards is now +1.

well I hope you stay in touch from alsaka as I enjoy reading the thoroughly irritating things you say to me. Don't forget to save room in your siutcase for your boots. I have to go see Mrs. McAndrew, again. I think I will just leave my sandals on. The only thing keeping my toes warm is my socks. CAWW or whatever buzzards do.
 
Cripes guys, I leave for 2 seconds and moral takes a nose dive. Oh well, I am still the king of footwear.

People walk into my house, look at my boot rack and can believe it. I mean I had to build a rack to stack them babbies for floor spaces sake. "What do you need all those boots for?", they say. Figure all the seasons,+ all the work,+ all the hunting,+ all the recreation, that ='s a lot of boots.
 
..... I think I will just leave my sandals on. The only thing keeping my toes warm is my socks. CAWW or whatever buzzards do.

Sandals? WITH SOCKS???? Good lord... this site has gone Metro-sexual now?

BOOTS guys... BOOTS!!!!

the "caww" sounds more like a crow bub.

and more importantly.....sandals with socks? what is wrong with you?


i take it back, you are no longer part of the committee. i some how came down with some mistaken identity regarding your "birdness".

you my friend are a seagull.

all you do is eat, sh1t, and squawk.



sandals with socks.......sounds canadian to me.

Whoa! Hold on! All I said was I keep my feet warm with socks. I guess I have to admit it looks funny with the sandals but in all honesty 2 things are true: 1. I don't give a #### 2. You admit that you know all about high fashion AND care!
I just got back fom Mrs. McAndrews where I was earlier walking around her dog #### strewn yard in my socked and sandaled feet needing a shave telling her about how the buliders messed up the trees and we were going to cut them down. I told her we were going to start so she wrote me a check for 8, on her business account, and will pay the other half we are done, thing is, we are never done. I think she liked my sandals but she is still looking for the others guys quote to take down the gum over her septic. I think he told her 12 but I doubled that! I'd like a second opinion but I am pretty sure it ain't that easy.
I might be a little nuts to write the way I do but if you can't see the meaning of what I just said and what I said before you are just plain dumb! Sorry to disrespect posting procedures.
 
You would love me as a swap out my SANDALS in the morning and put them back on for the ride home.
I used to ride my bicycle 13 miles( in any weather), get there and strip down butt naked right in front of everybody and jump into my tree climbing clothes. 8 hours later I did it all again but backwards. I take my time putting on my boots now, wherever.
If I had a would be employer that gave me hassle for swapping out my clothes throughout the day,well I guess he would not be my employer.
Any takers on the job?

You mean "MANDALS" right? lol.

sorry there Nails; You are king of footwear in my book buddy. Lets see some more pictures you obssesed maniac, lets just see how bad off you are.
 
I just want to say that I'm glad us men were able to get together and talk about shoes for awhile. Would do my momma proud.
 
OH? Yeah! MANDALS right, thanks for clearing that up.

MUCH better!!! I was afraid the next thing we'd be seeing is your Stihls and Huskies custom painted in colors only available from DIY shows on HGTV....
 
Hey Nails, remember when this thread was about your first spikeless climb? That was fun.

That's the nature of this forum taking over. I doesn't matter what you post, it always has to run the same course. It's all fun. Don't worry this will burn out soon and someone (maybe me) will have to start another one.

pruning with spikes....

Should never, ever be done. I just looked at the first page and I'm sure I'm not the first to say it but, it needs to be said. The ONLY time you should ever wear spikes is if your taking it down. Of course its easier to spike a tree, but well worth the effort not to. I don't know where you live but Arborists around here are fightin for work this time of the year. Last thing you want them to see is a tree that was pruned with spikes. Thats a perfect invitation for them to take that client away from you. I've gotten two or three jobs that very same way.
 
No, just sound business. Since he will be one of the few people in his area doing it right, he can now take clients from the other "old, old schoolers".

just sling'n mud around.

i havent worked in 3 days and am sick of packing.


apologies allcape. just bored.


by all means if you drive by a job and see trees looking as if they got the short end of the stick then go ahead and inform the homeowner that there are better options for the tree care they are looking for.
