If that picture 'did' something for you you might as well come on out. Now picture me butt naked rolling around the floor laughing hysterically. No, I love ya Mds.
Oldirty, take this as you may BUT a high level of proffesionalism can be seen when you can tell you boss to shut it up. Don't miss out next time. If you know then make the call, I never met to many polite tree climbers anyway.
This is actually a chapter in the book I am writing( lol-ing with fanaticism). Its called how to tell your boss to shut it up and still keep your job. You think climbing big sticks is fun and exhilerating?
Not only that but since you allready had your plan( and you do seem to know what your are doing) and someone tries to veer you off course it can be dangerous as well. You don't seem the type for that kind of thing. Get it?
And Nails: I find cottonwood to be one of the most dangerous trees for a novice to try his hand in. I honestly don't know what keeps them up.

 

[treemandan]

AND see what happens if you leave us to long?

 

[treemandan]

AND in one of my ramblings of inchoherency I said I was impressed about the company you hooked up with( I guess they don't just take anybody).
One of the things that impressed me was the name- I mean I find it nice when tree services can come up with a good name other than Joe Schmoes Tree Service without sounding to gay.
I don't know a whole lot about your new company but would you fill me in? What's the real skinny? They seem nice and all buts what's up? How do you like the owner and all? If you would rather not I understand but if you do make sure you do it right, please. See I am kinda polite.

 

[tree MDS]

CRAWW!! CRAWW!! oh no, wait thats a crow's call, lol.

lol.


rope no worries about me running up to a grizz and slapping it on the ass. that wont happen. but i will take as many pics from the safety of the truck as i possibly can, just for you.


tman, what are you asking me? is mike a good guy to work for? sure. and he has all you need to get the work done up here. not scared to spend a dollar for some gear too. and thats important. fixes whatever needs to get fixed right away too (equipment wise) so you dont have to worry about his stuff falling apart around you. other than those 2 peckerheads i had to work with when i first got up here ive had no problems. AND he pays OT after 8 so i like that...alot. and a good person too from what ive gathered and what ive heard.

and you are right about that level of proffesionalism thing. i'll keep it mind.

 

[Nailsbeats]

Looks like you are layin down some nice snap cuts OD. Those are always fun.
Nice pics as usual.

 

[Nailsbeats]

T-man, Cottonwood, especially dead, is very dangerous. I was watching him the whole time and coaching the do's and dont's. All he had to do was put a rope in it, I just wanted to give him a taste, maybe boost his confidence in the easier trees.

Everybody is different. Seems when a new guy around here wants to climb everybody wants to be mother hen around them, which is understandable due to the fact that this is an internet forum.

On the job, when you have a good coach, and a person with the right mentality ("you'll have to hold me back", mentality) you can push it. Rambling again, lol.

That overtime sounds proper fer sher. I think its pretty prestigious having a full page picture of your company in an international catalouge. Its nice to see it, its nice to know there are some thoughtful guys out there who work with their employees in different ways.
What's up with the peckerheads? I have left half decent jobs due to peckerheads even when I liked my boss. A peckerhead can really bog you down. Even after years and years I still have visions and relive moments of extreme frustration. Something I could never settle for was a peckerhead- Get em out! Get em away from me!
How old is this company? It seems that its 'in tight' with the tree people community. I hope you like the job. Hey! getting any lately?

You guys up there are really steeped in some tree work. So you got your thing, your brother has his and you both use other climbers and groundies?
You know all these people here like you cause you are such a bad ass but in some of the pictures you posted you appeared to be quite a hack. No joke and I am not trying to demean you. I just find it interesting that you know so much but know so little.
I asked you before about who taught you but I guess I wasn't satisfied with the answer. You did tell me your dad taught you a lot but I don't get it. Did you ever work at another company, school, etc?
Really, you mess around with some serious stuff there kiddo.Ever see anyone else do it? What was it that made the seed sprout? Are you now a full time tree guy?
I am only asking because I find it interesting, not bad, not good just interesting. You know by now if I thought you were a spade I would call you one so if you want ramble on, I am listening.
My definition of a hack is someone who routinley hacks and thinks its good.,like MDS. ( a hearty guffaw)

Thats all good and I really don't want ya slapping one just rivin
a little! Sounds like you are with a good outfit and I don't even have to
tell ya what to do with peckerheads. I am sure ya got that down was those
grizzlies feeding on them? :monkey: Again just riving

 

[oldirty]

Hey! getting any lately?

if this is in regards to me getting some ass......no. but i do have a new tear mark on the side of my hog, right where the thumb would be. must be my grip.



you are really caught up in that pic in that catalogue huh? (last years climber and the little guy is the one i was telling you about with the roping skills.)

My first thought when I saw the bear picture was " AWW, they are so cute, I want to pet it." I usually don't go with my first thought...anymore. But I still think I can run pretty fast.

 

[oldirty]

about them peckerheads.....its funny, we walk by each other without even a look in each others direction. and thats kinda hard to do in the morning when were loading up the trucks. i get there earlier than the other one just so i can have all my sh1t done (sharpening the saws, and going over the chipper, fueling the trucks/chipper, and all that fun stuff) just so i wont have to wait on him/them to use something. its kinda like high school dealing with the bs but, hey it dont bother me none when i roll out the shop with both of them on their own crew and me on our way to do the bigger work and them on the easy stuff. so it works out.


and i hear ya about leaving jobs because of idiots, good boss or not. my problem is that i am 4600 miles from my part of town and to me this is the only gig in town. but worry not about that stuff tman, i got plans. soon they'll all come together, you'll see. i'll even show ya.
