I decided to let my son come out and play with me and the boys today. He has helped out from time to time mostly on little jobs and has done ok. He helps with dragging brush, moving wood, and of course...raking. He had been bugging me to let him work while he is on spring break. He lives with his mom so the opportunity isn't always there. We did a rather large oak removal w/crane. Everything went well with the tree and my son did a good job! So anyway, at about 10am I figured we could take alittle break so I rode the ball down. Now my ropes kinda strewn about. After break I am tied back in to ball and realize I don't have my 200T. It was laying next to gas and oil having been topped off. So I said to him "grab my saw for me"...and , now picture this..he twinkle toes his way to my saw with out ever stepping on it (rope) and does the same back and hands me my saw. I say "why were you so careful to not step on the rope?" and he looked right at me and said "if I was climbing I wouldn't want people walking on my rope, just seemed like common sense" . I almost burst with pride!! I then took the time to explain to him about dirt and rope not being friends. Today was a good day.
