whadja do today?

Was told by a potential customer that $400 is astronomical for driving 30 minutes one way and trimming some extremely dead oak limbs over a house with a bucket truck. He decided to tell me he was going to buy a harness and have $300 left over. I wonder if he's though it through enough to need to use a climbing rope. I'm a decent climber and it's not one I'd want to tackle. I see some roof repairs in their future.

Bad luck and trouble's my only friend, I've been down ever since I was ten.

Not that I'm superstitious or anything (lol), but I see those fuckers everywhere. They're never in a rush either, just always doing that same, slow, black cat strut. I mean they never seem in a rush, always just waiting for me..

I swear I saw a dead bobcat on the Schoolkill yesterday. The slowest you are allowed to go is 90 so it kinda was a blur.

Mr MDS, may I ask why you have chains around your plywood? I imagine it's for loading purposes but I am curious if I'm right.

Did he have a bottle of cheap bourbon in one paw, and a pack of Lucky Strike nonfilters in the other?

Loading purposes.

Finished this clearing for an ******* who promised the boat would be moved.

That boat really jammed is up.

New shop paint brightens things up nicely. Shop is a seemingly never ending work in progress, but that's okay. We made a good dent this year.

A beer can or two would make it look a little more authentic.

Froze my ass off processing wood. Supposed to be below zero all week... "it's a dry heat" haha.

I think I'd be "bothered" a little bit if that walked across the drive at work. Be cool to see, then I'm packing up and moving. I'll live with the occasional coyote sighting.

Make a damn fine rug I bet

 

[tree MDS]

Pfft. I've rescued house cats bigger than that thing stuck in trees - bare handed! Punch it in the mouth, put it in a headlock and rappel down (on a taught line hitch). Thing would be lapping up warm milk from a saucer in its owners kitchen in no time (soon as it comes to). Just saying.

Nice pic, though...
