Two words of advice, Epi-pen. I've been stung more times that I can remember but the older I've gotten, the more severe reaction I have. Doctor told me the body's reaction can change in a not so good way. On the plus side everybody on my crew can't wait to stab me in the heart when I get stung.

Bunch of old quotes calling in to schedule. Looked at another 3800 more today all within a mile of each other. Took an hour break off a job yesterday and sold 3k at one house, and 1650 at another.

Anyway, I am going to a seminar in LA tomorrow,,although I need the ceu's, it seems like a good one.
Sux it will take me more than 2 hours to get home. I am going to the office at 4am to set up three crews and hit the road,
I replaced a lot of the teeth on our 672 and replaced all the zerks.
Now I am home and gonna get beer and food.

Who gives a **** anyway? I am kicking myself silly for selling you my Dingo, in fact I just might bag the whole thing cause this Bobcat is leaking oil pretty bad out of the front engine cover.
I told the guy I could probably fix it by forcing sealing compound into the joint, it worked on the Dingo when its front cover was leaking, but he is taking it to the shop.
I was hoping to write a check for it and be on my way. Get this, the guy told me he would have to wait til the check cleared before I could take the machine. I was kinda insulted considering he is trying to sell me the thing for 10k and I am the one pointing out the slew of oil coming out of the machine.
The whole belly and front cover is thick with old oil from long ago, I don't think the kid knew anything about it. He is telling me he is going to get it serviced and I am like, " why change the oil when the front cover needs to come off?" I don't think he knows anything.

Been doing some removals for local township the last couple days. All I had to do was show up with my bucket truck and my employee to run the porty. All the trees were ontop of the 15' high bank along side the road. Man do i ever need a 75' bucket truck. The good news is the township took care of all the chipping with there 3 guys and there chipper. I have to say I truly see how bad vermeer chippers suck. They pretty much had to have a guy hold in the reset for the knee knocker safety bar the whole time. What a pita.

Why would I do that?
Anyway, I have a feeling dude is going to have the oil changed, not have the leak fixed and it will be at the end of next week where I find I am still at square one and the guy now trying to get the money he just spent changing the oil and filters out of the machine.
"I'm NOT fixing the leak!"
Sounds like the guy and his dead oak tree.
" I'm NOT taking the wire down!"
Oh well suit yerself, see ya. I'll be driving down the road with the tractor cause the trailer is to big for me to drive!
Yea another 10 feet would be great on a 75 rear mount lol !!

I think I will fill a bowl with bullets and milk and start spooning them down.
One year it rained for 2weeks straight.
We were out yesterday with spade shovels digging little trenches to drain a field. I had a old army shovel carving trenches under the bush, felt like WW2 all over again. I'd shoot anything that moved, was keeping my eyes peeled for an anaconda.
The rivers and stream are full my friends, cottonmouths are seeking dry ground.
A lot of my clients have water problems, they seem so perplexed by it, I tell them they live in Chester Springs.
This client's house is built ontop of a spring, she has pumps, last winter I noticed it dumping right outside the house so she had a guy come in, for 1800 he laid 20 easy feet of pipe which drained into the lawn. The lawn won't drain into the stream down there because the woodline has dumped enough debris on the ground to raise the grade over the years and the root flares of the growth have grown to form a dam.
I do work like this from time to time. We just opened up a little drainage, got it moving so maybe it will dry enough to get a machine in there. I think most of the work is on the lower end of the trough, we will be dredging it out so the upper part in the lawn will drain. Simple! 1800 for 20 feet of pipe!?
Well, if this dredging doesn't work then it will be another 1800 digging in 150 feet of pipe.
