That was the best one yet MB. Your animated GIFs keep getting better and better but I have to wonder how you'll beat that one.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Beat that, and still be within AS guidelines? I don't think that's possible - Ha!

I already had Britany in my sig once, I posted that for Rborist1. He seems to be taken with the lass...

Well, this was a good week. Maximum money, minimum effort. So to speak. The heat slacked off later in the week, and I'm trimming a medium live oak in the morning.
I just might break down and buy a good camera. But I really want a Martin D-28!

I got do do a $1000 live oak trim today. I was done in 4 hours, but the groundies worked the stuff over the roof for me. I wanted to take a pic, but the shot just wasn't there.

I need a wide angle lens, orrrr something.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool. I need to figure it out.

Then, WATCH OUT!!!

Met a line crew at 8 to disconnect a house drop for removing a Doug-fir over a driveway. Started talking to the customer about other big firs on property and how the roots were grafted, and wind patterns. Mildly chastised for the other firs being topped at 90-100' which I'd cleaned the day before. Holding off on 1 awaiting desicated conk ID. Not sure if it's Phelinus pini, or P. swhweinizii, thinking it's pini due to the conks being scattered up to 20' on what appear to be old branch collars. May have to bring in a consultant to evaluate safety on 3' tree over shop. Led customer out of removing uninfected tree and A pruning, possibly treating with a suitable growth regulator. Left at 10am with 2 groundies who had been on the clock since 8:30. Had two 2'dbhX 50' firs on the ground and chipped up by 12:15 at a construction site. Went home took a nap. Nice to be working on anything but a cottonwood.

How'd that guy get his nose stuck in the underbed???

 

[ORclimber]

Ha Ha! The 36" bar wasn't big enough to go through, so double cut with a 28" on 266. Was seeing what needed to be tweeked for a clean face, or something. Must have been 5pm on a day over 100F. Wanted the open face so the tip would hit first and the butt would slide off the stump. Didn't want the face to close and the log to jump and "Pete Rose" into the patio. The homeowner was kind enough to take and give some decent pictures. Wish she would have snapped a few of speedlining whole limbs over the smaller trees. Oh well, my head stuck in the face and butt sticking out near the top of the tree will have to do.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Har! Yah, you can never seem to get the really good pics. But if ya keep trying, something cools gotta pop up. Eventually!!!
