Rainy Days

[Tree Machine]

I try to knock out as much ground-based ornamental pruning as I can. Dress in layers. Keep changes of gloves handy.

if its <i>really</i> raining I mebbe won't go out, but if it's light rain or intermittent showers, I dig it. The pole pruner blades are sorta lubricated by the wetness, and the Silky saw doesn't care. Also, if it's raining I turn up the ear-protective radio headset and since nobody else in their right mind is out in it, I'll be (no pun intended) singin' in the rain and havin a jolly old time while getting paid. Seems too good to be true.

I can't count the number of times I've been working in the rain and it suddenly clears up. Change shirt, back to business as usual.

The rains mentioned in Texas, however, are a totally different animal. I watched some of your weather while on vacation and there's really no working in that. Hang in there. You'll have your drought back soon.

Travel safe TreeTX.

Sounds like a great excuse to tell you wife your doing bids and go to the tittie bar. My old boss in Georgia called this a "Code Blue" He would call me up in the morning, tell me to call the Guatamalains and tell them we werent working, pull out about a $100 from the ATM and we would take the chipper truck, (dont forget to take the magnetic sighns off the truck) And go to the Tittie Bar for a few beers and a lap dance or two. Just dont forget to splash some gas on your neck before you go home.

fell off the truck

... but it wasn't YESTERDAY ! do you think the chix are gonna waste their time trying to see which of the ten rigs in the parking lot belong to 'us' ??? we got better things to do ! kids off to the sitter, us off doing our own 'thing', back home by 5 ... oh, and don't forget to dust a little bit of flour on ya ... and look like the kids have you worn to a frazzle so you can bug out for the EVENING too !!! HA !

p.s. on a bit more serious note, i really HAVE fallen off the truck >>> my worst injury ever on the job. slippery stuff in the morning, not to mention rainy days. climbing out after a quick pee, fell right onto the chipper... ouch. be mindful of the simpler things was my lesson ...

Kenn, You are reformed right? Terry won't like your plan at all. I won't even think about it. I have enough trouble without spending hours looking at naked women that I'm not married to. :angel:

 

[OutOnaLimb]

Does this mean were not gonna code blue it tomorrow if it snows????

Just kidding, and yes I am reformed.

No code blue. We might do code green.....chile.

 

[OutOnaLimb]

I try my best to stay dry - now that's an original thought!

I find the mud dulls the chains real quick, so I do not like running a saw on those days when the rain keeps a fallin...
