whadja do today?

I like the Christmas lights and tending the fire in the middle of the night while drinking vodka and watching TV. That's about as far as The MDS goes with all that holiday BS, and he likes it that way. Lol.

I hate vodka.
I never tried it, but I smelled it.

Since when has The MDS started acting like The Donald and refer to himself in the third person?

 

[gorman]

Or George Castanza.

Ever since he met The Dan and His massive schlong.

Trimmed some Cajeput trees, a Podocarpus, and a Brazillian pepper. Kinda sucked when the chipper was clogged with the Podo fruit, but we got done by around 4:30 pm. Still, I like the crew I'm with now.

...And what's with clients leaving their dog crap laying around in their backyard? Seriously people, pick up after your #$*@ing dogs; it's embarrassing to see a backyard covered in dog crap.

Stoli is some good stuff; the Smirnoff is pretty much like rubbing alcohol to me.

Yard logging in the snow today. More beetle kill pine trees. Worked pretty good in the am when the ground was frozen. Too bad we couldn't get the bigger truck there, but the old cummins did the trick.

No vodka for me those days are over.

Did some contract climbing (crane riding) for my buddy's company yesterday

 

[tree MDS]

Just finished sharpening up the 42" on one of my 395's. We got a big ass white pine we're gonna pull over with the tractor winch Saturday. Should be fun. One of the bigger trees I've ever flopped (murphed). I'm actually just gonna pull with the tractor while my buddy cuts. He's pretty dead on with his cuts. Being that its only 25' or so away from the house, I guess that says something about how much faith I have in this dude. Lol.

Next I get to flip the blades that should still be like brand new in the chipper. (Love that job,, can't get enough of it!!) Apparently we either chipped something with some metal in it, or my moron has been using it as a rakings incinerator. I'm leaning towards rakings incinerator. I don't know why there's no in between filling the whole back of the truck with brushy rakings, or scraping up every last pebble of road dirt and tossing it in the chipper. It's amazing to me.

Nothing like some stick pines and a big ass crane to make the average Joe feel like a hero! Nice work, chuck!!!

No hero feeling. Just had some fun, helped a friend out and made some money

I got sick on vodka in Vegas New Years Eve 1993. I just never got my taste back for it...even all these years later. I've got a client who drinks the stuff like water.

I found a 1590xp with 4200 hours for 15k obo. It's a one owner machine and everything is tight and right. They maintained it well and took good care of it. It has all the fancy features besides a winch. The guy is getting a divorce and selling out. Anybody run one? What do think on price?

 

[gorman]

Not a bad deal. You can probably carve him down to 13.5 if it's a divorce. I'd test the coolant with a strip and run it at operating temp to look for leaks.

Chipping Podo's is a sure way to tell if you chipper knives are sharp and adjusted correctly. If it is clogging, it ain't right.

Good deal, with those hours I would check everything.

Large poplar from early Dec.
The client got a bunch of estimates, ranging from $1500 (moi) to $7000.
Took me around 5-1/2 hours to piece down.

Helped out Mike again today. (Extra chip capacity needed) and this job was just around the corner from my house .
Should have took a before shot.
Everything as slung via the bucket.
Butt log was 7,000lbs
