Sweet Will! You either will get extra eggs from the chickens today, or they will quit laying LOL! Probably made them nervous too! Parmeter has been in some small stuff, me being on the ground looking up is nervewracking alone. I got pics from yesterday, but my card reader went down. Hey don't sweat pics buddy I appreciate, and love the stories:msp_thumbsup: P'S you ever read fundamentals of general tree work? Dude the climbed bush's and shrubs! Never thought you could climb that shiat! Those guys were amazing:msp_thumbup:

I'll get pics tomorrow. I'm going back. Ya the chickens were all huddled in the corner. Never read that book. Ya bushes and shrubs are a real pain in the arse to climb. My friend does it, doesn't look like fun.

There is also a couple big Doug firs I need to climb, one snapped off half way up in a wind storm, its a bit rotten in the middle, looks to be snapped off about 65-70' up, when it came down it knocked off most of the branches off another tree, so have to go up both and clean them up, I'll get pics of that, it sure made a huge mess.

I wager his 1100CD is close enough.

Good stuff Will, LOL! got a good laugh from Jeanie, and me about the chickens. The fir is right up our alley sounds like it will be some work. Yep love to see some pics. Sounds like some widowmakers. You got help? Aaron I keep forgetting about the 1100 shelf saw LOL!:biggrin: Oh it should be mine If you could talk him out of it I got the saw for you

My father in law was helping somewhat, had to pull a couple top the right direction, they were leaning towards the neighbors house, didn't want them to fall on it.

The firs will be easy just up and down, don't need to rig anything, there is a few big hung up branches that need to come down, my kids and brother in laws kids play around the forest in his property, don't want them going in there till the big hangers are taken down, one is big enough to kill a man if it falls on someone.

SXL-925? You've got me thinking. That'd take some work. I'd have to get Randy good and liquor'd up. Once I got that 1100CD, I don't know if I could part with it. Tough call.

Hope Randy ain't reading this.......

 

[NORMZILLA44]

You read my mind:yoyo: Irish whiskey?? LOL! For you brother he would except credit, and take one for the team I know he wouldhone:

 

[ChainsawmanXX]

Thats a super nice 925, I love the looks of them!

Hey Norm you on facebook?

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Good to see ya Jacob! Yep good saws-grrrrrrrreat saws! I will jump on see ya there!

 

[Eccentric]

Man I want that SXL-925. I doubt I'd be able to get that 1100CD away from Randy on 'credit'. Already tried offering to trade him his saw that I'm working on for it....



Buck Facefook however........

Tis funny!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Work on em Aaron, and the 925 ain't going anywhere it will be safe. Funny I never thought I would be a facebooker, but the thing I like it keeps me in touch with a lot of friends at once like here. I have met, and gained a lot of friends from this site over there now, from Montana Washington, Idaho. Cool beans small world. Been swapping stories, and saws tales, and hunting pics etc. Some locals started a new hog wild page, where I have a lot of local friends.:msp_thumbsup:

 

[parrisw]

Hey well, had to admit defeat today. Its been quite a while since I've been on spurs, over a year infact, and got a little over half way up there and just got too dam tired, legs turning to butter, so had to just play it safe today and come back down, accidents happen when your tired, and well, I'm not ready to get hurt. But got a few pics.

 

[parrisw]

A few from aloft.

NIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCE!!! :msp_thumbsup: Great pics! Are you going for the take down or are you just pruning them out?
Ayuh, doesn't take long to lose your climbin' legs, the older you get the faster you lose 'em (if you don't use 'em!). :hmm3grin2orange:
Good call on not working tired, just not worth it. Thanks for the pics, keep 'em coming...
Work safe! ::thumbsup::

No its not coming down, the one that snapped off hit this tree and took out allot of branches and there is a big hanger up there that I wanted to get out, and then prune all the dead branches off it. Ya your not kidding about loosing the climbing legs, and I'm out of shape, that doesn't help.

I'm out of shape myself, but there's hope! "Winter hibernation" is almost over, gonna be cuttin' again soon! :msp_thumbsup:

Yup. I gotta do something, that's the worst I felt being up a tree, just hate it when my legs go wobbly. Also was no where to attach my climb line too, being that all the branches got knocked off, there was a few at the top but couldn't get it that high, I need one of them big shot things. At least when you have your climb line in you feel much safer and can just hang off it if your legs get tired.

 

[Brian13]

Nice pics Will. I feel a whole lot more comfortable if I can use spikes and a climb line to. I like redundancy LOL.

 

[Joe46]

A mans gotta know his limits Sounds like you did the prudent thing. My wife learned to climb for the phone co. I never did.
