Ran into another one

Ran into another one. Not my customer but the next door neighbor. I was doing three large removals with a 64 ton crane Wed. The neighbor asked if we would leave him some fire wood. I said sure. I had the operator drop 3 leaders from a silver maple in the guy's back yard then took off the brush and cut the wood up for him in firewood lengths. The guy was taking pictures of me throughout the lifts and I asked him to email the pictures to me so I could possibly use one in my upcoming yellow page ad. He said sure. Got an email from him today saying that he hopes that I enjoy the pictures as much as he will enjoy the "2-3 ricks" of firewood I left him (no pics in the email). I only left him about a rick of wood, he wasn't pleased so he decided to not send the pictures. Some folks you just can't please. I replied to him that I hope that he enjoys the "free" firewood I did leave him, as well as the pics and the show.

Oh well, My customer was very pleased and that's all that matters to me.

A big thank you to 046 for helping me out with hauling some of the wood. I hope you enjoy the firewood buddy and there's a lot more where that came from.

Ah...
I finally get to tell a story of nut jobs...it happen this morning. I was cutting down and logging up a dead Oak DBH 18'' or so. So i was in the middle of cutting the face and she decides...to walk out and stand a couple feet from my chain saw and bend towards the bar and chain...cutting waste high...After i finshed i dam near jumped...as she is less then 3 feet now from my bar...(ms 441 25'' bar)

She goes why do you do that...i am holding my self back from going what the F are you doing leaning your self towards a running chain saw...

The worst part is she wouldnt move...started going on and on how her husband use to cut down trees (he as passed away, she is in her early 80's) and didnt cut a face...and how i am wrong....she refused to leave until i explained it to her...10 minutes later she moved from in front of me..and finally went back in to her soap opera's

Does any one have a "leave me alone while working clause"...dam it, some people will drive you nuts...

I mean dont get me wrong she was a very nice lady...and i dont mind explaining things to customers...just standing that close to my bar and me working with out me knowing...

Silver maple isn't worth a...... as firewood anyhow

We've all had them (wackjob tree huggers) I've enjoyed the reading. Here's one of my better ones.

Removing some big Norway Maples on a residential site a couple of years back. House is being demoed to put in a highrise. This is the last single family home in a purely high density area. Anyway.. We've started the backcut on one of the trees and one of the nutty tenants comes running into the drop zone to try to stop us. One of my groundmen had to physically pull him to safety just before the tree started to come over. Idiot goes pure white looking at where he had just been standing. Didn't smarten him up much though. He and his 400lb girlfriend/wife (he also saves whales) park their cars in the middle of a major 4 lane road blocking it until the police and media show up. The cops give them tickets and get the cars off the road but were do these idiots park them but under trees we still have to remove. Then they go inside so they don't have to talk to us about ruining our day. Problem with their plan is although they thought to take the keys out of the cars they forgot to close the windows. We spent at least 20 minutes cutting firewood with our 084 and 460 blowing sawdust directly into the open windows. By the time we were done there must have been 4-6inches of dust on every surface inside the car. Childish yes but very satisfying. Two days later we finished the job. The whale was arrested later the same month for chaining herself up in a tree. Yes up in a tree I wish I had a picture of it.
