[Froggy]

This week we've worked a total of four hours. First it's been rain and today it's dumping the snow on us. Tomarrow is Friday not looking good. Saturday is looking wonderful!! We might be working, but I know I will. Man this is horriable. Guess you win some and lose some. Anyone else been hit hard this week?

I haven't been working much lately, but! snow on Monday, rain on Wednesday, I don't remember what Tuesday was like, today is alright.

Raining here in GA too, all week. We worked Monday and that's been it this week. I think I've read every post (in every forum) in ArboristSite history this week. I always learn something new sitting home on these rainy days. Yesterday I learned three new advanced friction hitches and even some knots that I'll probably never even use. Hang in there Froggy, I hear next week is going to be nice here in the Southeast.

I have not been in a tree in a week. Goining into withdraw.

It has rained everyday this week and there is enough water standing to make working in yards a major problem. I recieved a call last night from a tree service and the guy said maybe Friday I could do some trimming and possibly some on Sat. I don't like working on the weekends but after almost a week of no work I am very thankful.

I can not complain here; the week started off the pits but today was 60F and even warmer tomorrow. I was supposed to start Monday for the new boss, but he phoned me up and asked if i could go in today. I really had a wonderful day, good guys, excellent equipment, and can not describe it, just felt like someone appreciated I have a (very) little experience in this area of work. Anyways ended up getting to climb into a couple of good size crabapples to prune them, so it was exercise as well, bearing in mind I am not a climber. So my moderately old bones got a workout without major pain, all that hockey this winter five times plus a week must have served a useful purpose; I do not know many almost 44 year olds still carrying on like they are 22 again, but I guess you are as old as you act. Anyways I am just very grateful to be operational again after all the crap I went through last fall. Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow yet, but if I do not get a call, non problem as I will be on the ice for an hour and a half at 1400 hrs. 10 hours today, and would have been more but one client we could not get a hold of for final oky-doky. Summing up- .

When I posted before I was uncertain if I had heard rain for tomorow, but sure enough it was confirmed for me this afternoon. So from what I understand, rain here on Friday and Saturday.

Froggy, Im here in NC to, we havent got the snow but we have gotten about 6 inches of rain since monday. Still working everyday trying to keep some of the customers happy. I hate working in the rain but lately we havent had a choice. Look forward to the sun on sat. Mabey next week the ground will dry so we dont have to carry the brush as far . Last year too dry, so far this year to wet for figure .

For the past week, it has been the same. Sunny with Lows in the high 30's, low 40's with high temps around 75

It didn't rain the weeks I was in Germany and hasn't rained here since I returned. Can't remember the last time I saw rain

Last year, it poured here for 12 days in a row. Gets suicidal. Just put the gun back in the drawer - the sun will return.

Woke up to pouring rain this morning. I get to spend today in the shop cleaning my saws up and checking the ropes. Don't you just love a day with your saws? Quality time with my saws till the rain stops. I ought to fix that broken light on the truck today too. Maybe there will be time to do some splices if I get off this puter. Bye.

Here in SE Michigan, particularly northern Oakland County, not bad now, but we had a helluva ice storm last friday. Some folks still without power a week later. I talked to a local arborist yesterday, he said this is the most storm damage tree work they have seen in 30 years.
