The thing about it is probably a good 35% of us will end up like that.
Yup. The ****ed up part is it's all the food we eat, the chemicals we work with and the air we breathe that's doing it. Were screwing ourselves.
My wife's grandpa was a self made millionaire in the hotel and real estate business, master carpenter (made BEAUTIFUL custom furniture), sat on city council and was famous enough to have several death threats directed at him at all times. By the time I met him all he could do was sit on the couch, piss himself and say "bah bah bah bah bah bah". ****ing mental diseases.
 
In lighter news,

Well, I hope I don't end up that route lol. I don't have a huge chip truck now though. Your points are valid. I just need something that can take a brushy 12 with reckless abandon without having to pre cut every branch.

Sounds like my 250 with quads and the larger infeed (basically a 12" 254). Pretty damn nasty for a 12" chipper. Love that machine.
 
back when I started doing a lot of crane work, late 70's and early 80's you were thrilled to have a 15 ton and a 17 ton was golden. People underestimate the small cranes because they see the huge ones which are useless for the most part if using driveways. You can take a 15 ton into a lawn same as you can the bucket. They are great and wish I still had one that size too.
 
The only thing I don't like about my buddy's crane is he doesn't have a front out rigger so he can't rotate towards the front past the out riggers. He doesn't want to put one N on because he doesn't have a cdl and the truck is right at 25,999lbs without the jib
 
I've got twig pruners in my oak out in front of the shop. Pretty destructive little bastards!! Getting sick of picking up the branches too. Maybe gonna have to do something about this pretty soon. Not the ideal tree, but shade is shade.

That's true. Besides that around here the high end neighborhoods we work in that have private streets won't permit anything in over 32,000 pounds.
