Took that truck for a drive and it shed itself.
The snow on the house roof is a different kettle of fish.
 
Uh oh! Better get Maaco! :)


I finished my payroll taxes today and got them forwarded. I also spent a lot of time on this stupid hydraulic issue I've been having.

Aside from that....I mentioned earlier that I write and also write local restaurant reviews. I'm only going to mention this because I don't want to bore my friends with it but I kind of want to tell someone. I must have said the right things about the right people lately because they've paid me back in spades. My blog has exploded lately! I usually get a decent number of views (they can be tracked) but wow...it's like...I go watch tv for 30-45 minutes, come back and check the stats and there are 60 more views! Jump in the shower...10-12 more views. This has been going on for days. Anyway, I just wanted to tell someone because I think it's pretty cool and I'm not used to this much traffic. I might have found the ideal format and formula! I'm going to stick with it for a while and see what happens. (So I admit that I've been tracking stats today like I used to track the value of my baseball cards when I was 12).
 
Finally back up in a tree today!!!!! We have been socked in with some pretty crappy weather since Christmas. Snow and sub zero temps suck when you have work to do but just cant get to it. We got the chip truck stuck in a cul de cac that didnt get plowed, so my groundie Mike had a bit of a drag. I pruned up a decent sized Ash and got a hazardous leader that was going over two sky lights. The customer is an old retired Paratrooper so he got the cool guy "Airborne Brothers" discount. Which means I did it pretty cheap, but we didnt care. It was just good to be in a tree after over a week off. Gus even got to sport his new Hi-Viz work wear today.get-attachment (13).jpg
 
Boring day of ROW work for the cable company. At least I'm allowed to reach beyond the ROW to make proper cuts. They actually went and talked to all the property owners and got permission to go beyond to do it right and still get the clearence they need to replace lines. Will finish that tomorrow morning and then gotta take a top out of a tree for our log buyer
 
We had a guy today decide to "leave out" first one thing and then another from his job. He finally ended up turning a $2800 job into a $850 job. I hate crap like that.

I never was able to find a good log buyer around here. You guys have a good guy that its worth it to haul logs to?
 
Or kept deleting things?

He kept deleting things. At one point I wanted to ask him why are we even here. We were only actually there 1.75 hours and I told him $650 but he wrote a check for $850 saying he knew he had to have messed up our schedule. Yeah...he did mess it up.
 
At least it wasn't the other way around. I was wondering why you would let him add things on like that but some people will try. A little here or there isn't bad but that much? Not a chance.
