It's all relative to what the machine can produce. .
That it is. His point is rather moot, due to the fact that the company he works for probably doe ten times my gross. So comparatively speaking, sales/gross v repair bills is more than likely similar.

Wait.. you spent 25k on a 23hp tractor?? Good god, man.. you didn't even get a whole hp per grand!!$$ I dont know about that deal, but whatever. Just being honest. It's like you won't listen, no matter what I say anyway. You ask questions first, and do your own thing after. Please tell me that thing is more than 23hp!!??
Sounds a bit steep to me to. I can get a brand new yamner tractor with back hoe for $28k. It looks alot bigger then the one in dr. Picture too.

Yes that's very true. It is been proven that it is impossible to be fired anyways, the only reason anybody has been fired is cause they stopped showing up...

Had a giant leader to remove that fell right into the guys front yard today. Before going for it I fully explained that the job was to be paid on completion (today) and not wait for him to dicker with the ins. co. of them feign paying me. Finished it and he is no where. Finally get him on his cell and get "do you take credit cards?" ....no. He has been such a sweetheart til now and now he is a zombie.

Next news for him isn't so sweet either...after inspecting the rest of the tree I find a huge defect...substantial cavity with a rocky racoon in it with babies and splits on both sides leaving the neighbor's house in big time jeopardy. Soooo the guy thinks the ins is gonna pay for the limb that fell....but I tell him that often the leader has to be laying on something (a doghouse, his roof, a car....anything) to get coverage. He is none too happy. He had in his mine that the tree would be saveable, but alas, not so.

And now he is dreaming the ins. co. will pay for the removal as it is threatening....not likely. I tell him that more likely they will say that he better pay to remove the tree as now everyone is aware what a hazard the tree is and if he don't spring for it....$45 hun on the conservative side....he will be totally and indefensibly....LIABLE....ouch. He is a pro at the cry poor tech...but I just might be cryin poor in his shoes....were not I an All Star TREEMAN :)
