Dont cry, just do it
Did this get them on the ground and they cleanup job this morning. Had to use the bucket for one tree that was just a little to tall for the area we had to drop it into. Had to drop 2 trees between fence posts and another one that half the tree was hung up in the other half of the same tree. The last one was super sketchy. Then we went to come home and the dam bucket truck won't start. Spent 5 hours working on it to come to the conclusion that the ignition control module is bad because I am not getting any pulse at the injectors. Well of course my luck no body has one and they can't get it till tues. So I took $300 off the price of the job if the guy let me leave my truck in his driveway till Tuesday.
with harness or man basket?
Well, I rode one down last week, aspen failed at the base. Walked away with a separated shoulder. Had surgery last friday, 3 months of rehab and I should be recovered. I posted more details and pics in the injury forum. All in all, feeling damn lucky to be here.
Man basket.
Hit up this twig up on the way in today. Apparently the guy that the town subs out didn't feel like finishing it (for whatever reason). These people own a ton of property local and we've done quite a bit there over the years,, but the MDS isn't a big fan of cleaning up after other people. Took about a year to finally get there for this thing. Lol, ****er
was trying to grow back!!
was trying to grow back!!

Although the block is very strong I would have went with something different, something more fashionable for today. That one says "old curmudgeon". You need to spruce up yer fall wardrobe, why you didn't get one of those sleak new power block jobbies I don't know.

Hi all, thought I would check in. Dana is doing better, still dealing with the aftermath of the surgery. They jacked her up with some complications, so it has been slow and painful recovery, but she is cancer free, so we wont complain to much. Still busy as hell, but only working when I have too. Picking and choosing right now, but that will change this winter. This whole deal has changed my outlook on life. To much work, not enough fun. So I have been taking more time off and screwing around. Bit of shootin and fishing. I really suck at fishing. It has been a crazy ass year. My FIL rear ended me in my F-250. Smashed the front end into my chipper, the same day Jared had his mess. Just got it back and they put a weird grill on it and painted it differently, going back on Friday. Still same ol **** around here. Cept the hacker population has exploded, (EAB), still got dudes scarin ol ladys into treating any tree for EAB, destroying property and phukin up prunes. Still get all kinds of phone calls and people stopping me at stores to tell me their horror story's about hiring them, Idgaf. Wish they would quit, not sure what they want me to do! Still have not had the bucket fixed. Have not had the time to let it sit in a shop. So it is still just a chipper truck, climbing everything, but taking my time. Tore up my shoulder pretty good. So that has been a dream. All small **** in comparison to Dana's health, so I just blow it off and keep moving.
Had a dude offer to buy me out. I told him a number, he said it was fair, we will see, there are always those who talk big but dont have the wallet to back up their mouth. Have gone down that rode before.
Hope all is well with you are yours, stay safe.
