whadja do today?

[treevet]

Good god am I bored. I know it's bad when I'm actually (almost) looking forward to pruning a good sized pin oak tomorrow. Got a feeling this thing is gonna be evil!! Too thick to do much with the bucket.

On a real thick pos pin oak I generally prune my way UP one side then prune my way down the other side. Then you got open spaces for the thick side to actually get stuff to get to the ground.

FYI guys

This machine is built like a tank, heavy gauge steel throughout. 15" capacity on soft woods, a solid 13" on hardwoods. 125 JD diesel. 2400hrs. Updated auto feed. 2 brand new tires. Full service done last month. Zero welds or cracks. This is a turn key chipper that has thousands of hours left of service life. We just purchased a crane and are looking to purchase a whole tree chipper. Could use paint to be mint but not at all necessary. $9800 FIRM.

Looking for an under ten K LB 18 inch morbark or bandit 1590 to replace it with.

I think the bobcat is probably a good move. The learning curve with you and that queer little tractor was so steep, I was starting to worry the both of you would fall off the cliff. Lol.. just being honest.

Yeah! YER RIGHT! All the levers and pedals man, to hard to get on and off, great to drive though. Its got a tiny little brake lever you have to reach down to lock. We moved more boulders with it the other day, doing that with the mini would have been precarious and done more lawn damage. That's the two big good things about it, its steady and it rolls nicely.

But what do I care? I don't. I just bought another 50 pound bag of grass seed. Lawn damage is a tough hurdle to jump. I try to look at it from a universal perspective, that way it doesn't look so big.

I almost went over with that Dingo a few times, well, actually ,once I did. Still kicking my ass selling it but it would have sat. The tractor would have sat, this Bobcat will sit... I need to call a few clients and tell them I will be installing rope cable systems in their zelkovas and kwanazans. I had this monster tulip strung up for awhile, maybe this winter we'll get it down.

Anyway:

I about had my neck broken by a 5 gallon of water last night. I had 4 of them on top a cabinet and when I opened it... The wall mounts held just fine, the whole cabinet just collapsed. It would have been a nice Utube if it didn't happen to me. So now I should probably go to an actual doctor.

I had been running around all weekend trying to get as much done as I could. I had sprayed the house pretty good, ants, and pretty much anything else that lives, and we are starting some exterior work, just ******** really.

I was going to the cabinet to get the planer to fit a door's threshold when it fell. Earlier I was standing on a step ladder in Crocs and golf shorts catching the mist from the chemical spray as it come from the hose.

Tell her to schit or get off the pot.

Scheduled an est mid week on Wm. Howard Taft, a row of multi million dollah mansions overlooking the riv. Showed exactly at 10 am on time. Climb the giant front door steps and ring, then I bang the knocker. Nothing. Find a hidden door under the steps and ...same procedure...nothing. The house right next door is the one "Rain Man" with Dustin Hoffman was filmed at. The next mansion I worked a lot on years ago. So I go home and call the beotch and she answers the phone and says we can schedule another time if her husband doesn't answer the phone # she gave me....

man it tough sometimes being the "tree guy to the stars"......

You don't have a cell phone? If I were you I could see why you wouldn't.

Last day of this pruning crap, and then on to some takedowns finally. Thank god. Pruning is good work, and the results are gratifying, but the MDS tires of it after a few days. Actually, about five hours in, I'm usually ready to slash my throat with the gomtaro (or however its spelled).

 

[Toddppm]

New guy started today. Showed up on time, came and shook my hand "hi boss, I'm really sick, have had diarrhea for 2 days straight and can't get rid of it, can I start tomorrow?"
I just looked down at my hand????!!!! You tell me this after you shake my hand????? OK, fine see you tomorrow, shakes my hand again..........

The MDS likes to be annoying from time to time. Lol. Guess it's his way of giving back to the forum.

How much did she want you to pay her for her highly valuable walnut?

 

[treeclimber101]

[treevet]

always good to get in an insult or two in that situation. last time I said "when did you move here from the trailer park"...not much chance of getting the job after that.
