whadja do today?

Started fabricating a replacement jaw for a friend's torn up BMG. He has torn up two of the smaller jaw so we decided to do a heavy duty replacement. My BMG is tearing up in the same spot so I figured it would be good to have a heavy duty replacement. I was doing alright until I ran out of welding wire. I still have to get some tubing for the bushings to mount the cylinder and the pivot.

Was a little worried about this new school piece of crap for a second, but its got it. Wasn't sure till I got the hook welded on and maxed it out. Just a little bit more power than the old one.. just like it says on paper. I still liked the old one better though. At least this one has a port to charge my phone. Thank God for that. Lol.

Nice work. I was happy with myself for welding my garage door track back together.

Still dealing with storm work over here. Scores of calls every day, not that I'm gloating or complaining. The work is now the easy part. The difficult part is dealing with customers that refuse to wait. I had some douche call me on a Saturday afternoon and demanded that I come look at a tree that day for a quote. No manners.

Well ya! Drop whatever you are doing and race over to him! I am sure he has 5 quotes already and just before he goes to call the cheapest guy back to let him know he has the job, he is gonna get one more price just incase! Thats like the lady who calls me last week, she has limbs shading out her back deck. "can you come right away? There is only one month left of summer and I want some sun on my back deck" I didn't even bother calling her back, just a waste of time!

Omg, Goobs!!?? On a Saturday!!?? ,, .. the nerve!!!??

That wasn't the funny part. Tried telling him I could make it Monday or Tuesday night and he said "no thanks. I'll call another company to look at it. ". Good luck.

I wonder if all the extra weight will cause that side to fall lower when mounted. I've torn up two of the small grapples and one of the big grapples. I think if they were just pointier on the small tong they wouldn't get as beat up.
I know Dave beefed them up with some gussets on the last BMG parts I ordered from him.

These workers don't ask for spongebob. They say "AxMen get more logs!"

Been busy, not so much with tree work, had a few meetings, bid a few trees working on expanding and getting a 5 year business plan together. Had a call from another tree company today and looked at a tree they couldnt get their truck to. Hoping to start that next week, 3 headed cherry over 2 sheds 2 fences leaning towards two houses. They also have a hackberry leaning towards their neighbors house on the other side of the property. In total it should be a pretty good job.

Yeah I was wondering if it would do that. I guess we'll add weight to the other side if it proves to be a problem. My buddy it getting tired of tearing them up in the middle of a big job. He's a bit rough on it though.

So the saga continues with this driveway debacle. The homeowner wants me to pay out of pocket to seal coat his whole driveway and patch the damage. I told him I'd pay for a patch no problem but I'm not paying for a new driveway. Now this guy lawyered up and fielded him to my insurance.
This jerk is obviously trying to railroad me and I'm not having it. I almost feel Ashton kutcher is gonna pop out and tell me I've been punked and this whole thing was a joke. Still is a joke.

 

[Wayne Wilkinson]

when he does pop out punch him in the mouth for ruining two and a half men.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

This calls for a celebration!

Its been two whole years since I last had inspection stickers on my crusty old dump truck and today I finally got a new one!

I was just thinking about this today and what I was thinking is that you could probably go over there, fill in the holes. find some pebbles to glue on top and be done with this nonsense.

Or wait till he gets it all freshly sealed and soak that ****er in gas and torch it one night. Lol. I mean I guess gorman would probably be the prime suspect, but who cares. I hate sealed driveways, and I'd love to torch one!!

 

[no tree to big]

Just a little boxelder on a house. Damn thing was virtually teetering on the gutter and one small spot on the ridge the wind was twisting it like crazy. I was slightly very much concerned it was just gonna roll but that ***** didn't move at all as we disassembled it, score!

It was also a beautiful day, nice cool breeze all day long
