Couple extra shots. Busted out the little chipper today. Guy was very concerned about his brand new driveway so we drove up everything but the f150 on the grass.

I removed them myself. Just tired of it.
Besides, I am too busy battling this new politically correct Spongy Moth (formerly known as Gypsy moth lol). It’s even worse than the old fashioned straight moths.

Double Giant & Johnny D on the job!!
How many days there to mobilise all that gear to the site?

Something like 15 or sixteen days between the two neighbors.

That's definitely well worth taking the full shooting match for....
Got a good run of more technical jobs (than mulching fields of olives anyway) lined up, but all a day or less, so really have to hustle to get the peripheral logistics fitted in.

One of my kids just had an operation & has to stay close to a regional hospital (100kms away) for two weeks, so had the youngest for a couple of days while trying to get work done. The harder you push on the lever, the better the splitter works from his perspective.
Good to be away from filthy olives & back on some decent wood, with some sharp saws. Couple of hours of power on a Friday afternoon, owner just loves firewood, including the stack of twigs (not our work). Also loves a lop up of tree's he can get too & was adamant we needed to use his A-frame ladder for our purposes. Think could spend two solid days just addressing all the haggled stubs he has left around his lot.

New-ish. Doesn't get used too much! I have a 5' bar for it as well used once

Saturday’s disturbance of the peace, always happy to offer a community service….
Large casuarina, “make it less massive” the brief. Good tree for single line, been nursing a ‘tennis elbow’ type injury, so easy climbing, but a lot of cut & throw, which was a test for the ligaments.

That tennis elbow is a pita. I used to get that from time to time back in the heavy climbing days.
With the lift and the ultra slings/rings, tree life is much easier on the body than it used to be.

Most certainly in an annoyance, ironically think it was overuse of the wood splitter that triggered it.
The dynamic movement of repeatedly starting saw in the tree, along with holding medium sizes blocks to throw were two things that really aggravated it during climbing. Couldn't imagine hip thrusting old school style with arm as it is at moment, single rope really makes it a lot easier.
this is part of why I switch out a lot, SRT, DdRT, lanyard adjuster on the left or right, rake left handed some days

Which model is that if you don't mind me asking?

It's the roll and spin titan pro any of the metallic ones will do the trick. The plastic ones are not heavy enough for a guy.
This cured my brother's tendinitis in his wrist.
Formula 1 drivers use them to strengthen the hand muscles. That's where I first learned of it.
Good habit to start young. Hopefully you don't have any bodily aches yet at your age!
more than I probably should, hence why im a bucket baby most days
