Treeslaying Illinois style

[treeslayer]

and when you get to a cold weather environ like here in IL, add 150 lbs more clothing and boots.

jeez, its 9 degrees, 8" of snow forecast tonight and 0 degree temps this week later and I have some big jobs waiting.
If I don't clean the job today, it will get snowed on, froze in, and NOT PAID.:censored:
I prefer takedown, cut up, and stage one day and do cleanups the next day on bigger jobs. easier to schedule labor and hauling that way.

Oh well, plenty food, beer, and direct TV and a good woman at work.

and a good woman at work.

As she should be, lol.

lol.

What Local# John? An A wireman sounds like. that's me, too. my masters license was just icing, didn't pay extra. I was Local # 26 out of Wash. DC, and #666 from Richmond VA before that.

Been about 3 years now, I only miss it on cold days............I've thought about signing here, but so little work, and jumping the bench doesn't go over well around here I bet.

Keep em working cause when they stop they pretend they are working by asking you what you are doing and telling you what to do all day (same thing they do to you now when they get home from work).

Your screw off time will drop significantly too.

:deadhorse: (this is you in the role of the horse) haha

Happy Anniversary :wave:

It is nice to be able to let the old girls take a rest when they get a little older.

My theory worked out in that if you marry them smokin hot....they will still be hot at 60.:love1:

Let em retire and buy em a gym membership.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

I was thinking of a carrier in The Suck, so I let a few of those go. My "tastes" have always been towards the modern Valkyrie morphotype, (not Wagnerian! :eeek: more Borris Vallejo.) If you would have told me six years ago I would be with a zaftig Pollacki princes, I would have laughed.

HA! I must be retired!

She bought ME a gym membership, and we go every night now, guess that means I'm a toy boy.:lifter:
