Lol I am building a rocking chair it will take another twenty years to finish. Then comes the porch and by that time the geritol will become necessary!

Uh...Oh, Hi Rope...............Dan made me say those bad things. Really he did.:biggrinbounce2:

A picture Justin sent me yesterday.

Bet that guy has to clean out his underwear. well let me rephrase that, I don't know if that's normal or not, But i would have clean mine out.lol

 

[treemandan]

Yeah he better not be one to start any saftey meetings but you got to let him roll.

 

[Burvol]

Justin is a good, hardworking dude. I wasn't trying to stir the pot. The guy loves doing what he does. That goes far with me, and I know ol Rope feels the same way.

I am losing money on this job





Stump 1 the pro crew of mexicans cut lol

damn is that a MACK RD9 or a sidewinder ,you don't see too many Macks with grapples ..

 

[Burvol]

The logs I hauled to the scales for timber and is to come off the cost of job I will not do that again It looks like she will end up only about 500 out of pocket for 6 cleaned up trees. I really gave this lady a steal deal but thought all the other trees were coming soon and now she was worried about paying for this clean-up and the two trees I bid before the tornado crew of Mexican's made this mess lol. Oh well I have to think positive and stay happy it is my fault I am a sucker for the elderly. I do know what goes around comes around so you young whippersnappers better give ole rope a deal in twenty dern years ya hear me:monkey:

WOW!!!!!!!!! She made out like a bandit. Please tell me you got some pie and coffee and a little lemonaid?

Wouldn't that suck if in the back of her mind she was like," That's right sucker, I'm old (and rich lol) and your gonna give me pricing I like, that's how I aquired this pile of doe you ain't touching."

just teasing

But you did give her a good deal as it panned out. No one got hurt or destroyed anything on your part, all good.

Looks like my old 1980 r model I drove when I was hauling pipe.

300 w/ 9 spd eaton ,44,000 rears
Took it forever to get up to speed ,but that long legged gal would run 92 mph empty , about 72-74 loaded ,depending on how tall the load was.

I miss that old truck.

[tree md]

Did the Pine boughs take off like hang gliders???

 

[ropensaddle]

I got two more to do now at my adjusted price lol but they wanted to keep logs on the prior bid like it was The two new ones is wrote as all logs are mine lol and a bit higher that the first trees too. She came out to tell me that if I could give her a deal on these other trees like 3 to 4 hundy that she could do them now and I could keep the logs from them and her son is going to repair all the ruts the power company made and any I make. I am thinking 450 these are tall sog's bucket reach maybe a limb or two then it is climby time. I trie to tell her if we could wait til winter but she said no they need to be done now or her hubby won't be willing. I also bid two more down the street and think I got them also. The people said I was way faster than any they have seen lately lol. I said I am slow now

Lol yup but I was playing the wind baby lmfao. I started trying out my new home made speed line and the winds started whipping the tall smaller pine twenty feet and my groundy was new at the set up. I holled f the speed line and went to town bombing as he was in turtle spped and I wanted weight off fast lol.

I don't like the face full of saw dust that seems to happen in these high winds. I thought a time or two snapping would take place it was a windy day down here.

It is an 81 r model I think I know its 81 anyway lol. It is a twin stick 10 forward and five reverse gears lol you really get some looks shifting in reverse lmao.
However first reverse is the gear for tight spots just idle that puppy in there and inch at a time. Turtles move faster lmfao

I attempted to drive one of those when I was a co driver and they were servicing my assigned truck.I was only in it for one delivery .Head mechanic told me to just use the high side[drive it like a 5spd,peg the tach and shift,repeat,repeat,repeat lol] on the highway and low only on the jobsite.
I managed to make the run,but couldn't wait to get back to the yard with it.
I didn't want to learn how to drive something I would probably never be in again,as we had other trucks we usually used when our primaries were being worked on and this was mostly a yard dog.
