Just got back from a tree across the road blocking access to the local hydro electric power plant. Sycamore tree fell across the road and was laying on the phone wires. Tied the wire down with the porta wrap and cut the tree off the wires and slowly let the wore go up.

You can do anything at -45 that you would do at a higher temprature. You just do it... more slowly.

Once you get the taste for that kind of weather, you can`t live without it. I love my walks at night at -30 or better. You dress up like an astronaut and head out. It`s like being on another planet.

I think you're a half a bubble off of plumb. 20 degrees sucks. Forget -30.

Not to mention the epic snotcicles that form

We wont get much here in VA, i am hoping for some trees down but probably wont get any.

Didn't realize you were so close. Im out your way pretty often. Have a buddy that lives off of Old Myrtle rd. We hunt out there a lot. I live in Western Branch.

feast or famine and the yin and the yang of tree work

 

[treevet]

I don't understand how it can be a Beautiful day in California so often, every time i watch the news the place in on fire.

plus you have to learn to shuffle...you can't walk for fear of bumping into someone, front back or sideways.

Not to mention the complete lack of testicles for the first hour after you come back in the house.

"Where ma boys?!?"

They`re up behind your sternum keeping warm and ain`t a` coming back no time soon.

Sorry to hear about the wife beans....is she doing better now? Hope you get your tower fixed quick.

She is doing better, had some complications from the surgery and ended up in the ICU for 11 days. She came pretty close, o2 level at 60, so the had to put her on a machine. Now it's just recovery time, day by day she seems to move around better.

Dude!

In 08 I was around 60. You always wonder what you would do if you had absolutely unlimited work at the highest rates imaginable. That was our hurricane of 08. I worked 6 days a week for about half a year 10 hours a day and just got fitter as the time went by. The answer what I would do was ...I would just work my ascs off and take my business to another level. What is going on now is somewhat similar to it and I have planned for about 8 years for this...EAB. We have unlimited work at top prices and people are pursuing me all day every day and all I have to do is collect the work and do it and take the money to the bank...at 65. I can work all day every day 10 hours a day and Sundays close the deals. Doesn't get any better than that and no thoughts of tipping my crane over.

I went to a crane seminar hosted by mark Chisholm a year ago or so and he talked about the hours they worked after sandy. He stated they worked 14 hours a day seven days a week the first two weeks and then it went down to 12 a day six days a week. I wouldn't be able to hang with that. Working with headlamps in the pitch black to crane the wood out at the end of the "day".

Just when you think you're pushing the limits.

I hope he was making his nut for that.

You just do it. You become the machine. Greed is a great motivator.

Seems like.
