[Zale]

Ya know what really just pissed me off today , my wife bought Low fat pop tarts !!! Da fuq why do we even make them low fat ?

She just crossed a line.

YES! And I love it!

Was going to name my company DISASTER MANAGEMENT and get into just doing emergency work. Its just that there is not enough of it around here so I play arborist in the lulls.



Anyway.

Tired and sore from all the log loading then took down a couple hardwoods for more logs then cut some damn grass.

Sarah just got back from gym camp and she just won't ****ing quit! She outgrew her kiddie saddle so we are off to get a good one and head up to that rope course in Lancaster.

You better stop and visit me if your going to lancaster.

that's close to "crossin" the line but this is way over , the day my boss tells me to manually engage the PTO while he sits in the cab is to far , then the guy held on while the guy pulled up to shake the body clean and then disengaged it ! I mean how can explain to your wife that you got run over in the chip pile LOL

Nice day today. Gonna be hot and humid this week. So many long hours lately. Got to go to Irvine tomorrow and start a crew there for the week and get back to the other three crews here. I hate out of town work and crossing the scales. In California, the scales are a money pit, got to be perfect. Once they held us up to see if the break-away on the chipper would stop the chip truck. Duh, No!
Two hours of BS and we were allowed to leave. I hate the scales.

I got held up at the scales once for an unsecured load. It was a half load of chips inside an enclosed chip truck. They made us put a tarp over the load.

Not entirely. Either of the two guys I have now are capable of going up in the truck (anyway). I worked with the most recent one for a while back in the day. He was just ground/whipping boy back then, but made it to climber/70' operator at another company. Was never "born for it", IMO, but made it nonetheless. The other one claims he knows everything (24) and I trust him enough to put up at this point (under direct supervision). So not totally down yet. Just how do you sell work with a giant cast?? I'm sure you can imagine the issues.

But thanks, Dave! Could've been so much worse. I almost snapped everything clean off. My mind almost saw it happen. Not cool.

I had one like that with a big schit maple rigged huge limb, wind blew it sideways and next second I have the lowering line laying over my wrist on the stub, with an 800 lb branch on one end and the gm holding the other. Yelled to not lower as would have burned my hand off so I grabbed my handsaw like a quick draw and cut the rope and it went down and smashed the porch steps.

Schit's gonna happen sometimes and your lucky it wasn't worse. That's why we make the big bucks (roll eyes).

I got my mancab/sleeper to fall back on lol. Guy owned it was living in it as I found his clothes in a blanket, matress etc in there and worried about bedbugs but no sign. Found couple of roaches in ash tray. Best stuff but sadly no more for the vetster. Tossed em...eeek.

Lol. You know you wanted to though!!

 

[tree MDS]

Man, this broken arm deal really blows!! I was on such a nice roll finally too. Gonna hit it up tomorrow and see what these guys can do without me. I can't even sharpen a saw! Gonna go out and buy a few chains later, solve that problem for now. Supposed to get cast made later too.

I guess I'm gonna take some time and study for my cdl too, as I finally got a med card the other week. That'll solve a world of problems for me if I can get that out of the way this year.

 

[treeman75]

WoW! You got JB to stick to a tank!? How? I have never tried though have seen others try.

He just drained and cleaned it

 

[ducaticorse]

Tornado touched down few towns over today, time to do work. So much for this week's schedule .

 

[treeclimber101]
