who plows the drop zone? or does the snow only land on the street?
Jeff

When you get your badge they give you a plow truck and let me tell you, my warm weathered friend, you are going to need it.

I mean when you have guys chipping on ice and snow you are going to do something.

I have thrown in a plow charge and for salt as well on some jobs but mostly just do it to get the job done.

I love a snowy storm where I am out pulling trees from across the driveways. Hell, I don't have to give an upfront price for that and they get it from all angles when I am done. And that is just to get the driveway open!

I for one have had about enough of this whole winter deal already. Looking forward to another hate filled, goal oriented season next year.

Atta boy! You take a break and get ready for next year. You'll get em then!

Yes, I think you're right,,

 

[jefflovstrom]

Nice. I don't think I could live there, but I'm glad you seem happy about it at any rate. You still see the turtle kicking around??

No, he took off a couple years ago

I was just slipping into the glory that is twilight when I heard what I thought were partiers hollering and car doors slamming. The noise went on for a few minutes til I finally looked out the window and saw 20 foot flames tearing up through the woods no more than 200 yards from my house.

By the time I got dressed all the cops were there and the fire dept was getting it under control. That was like 6 minutes cause I didn't want to be cold.

We are all a little perplexed about how it got started. It might have been kids trying to blow up the 3 old junk lawn mowers that were in the area the fire started in. But its hard to tell until the investigation.

It was one hell of fire trail going up the hill. I don't know if it was just leaves or some kind of fuel or fireworks.

Well, I am up now... til this last round of SoCo and fine Californian hits me... again.


Getting back to work is going to suck cause it going to be rainy for awhile and my next job is in a swamp but I needs that money. I feel pretty damn pasty, fat and weak after this holiday.

Cat removal in the rain, no bites or scratches. It started to jump i guess but I grabbed it before it could...

I do them too. I ask the home owner to give me two pillowcases. I put one inside of the other like a double layer cat sack. I stuff the cat and come down. I must have done it over a thousand times meow.

Wouldn't it just be easier to cut the branch those vile bastards are perched on?

Lol! Not a real good thing to do to an elderly woman man! I had a nasty cat a few times. Those are the ones that I usually touch with a twig and they run down the tree.

The APTA works pretty well and I never have to leave the ground

 

[treebilly]

I got two likes and no one yelled at me? Well I guess I need to get a bit more vulgar and say I climb SRT.

On the hitch hiker


And I use an older HAAS.

 

[JeffGu]

Bastard! If you were here, I'd knock a cat out of a tree with my APTA and a 16-oz. bag so I had something to beat you with.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

No word on the cause of the fire, in fact, no info whatsoever. You can't even tell there was a fire. Maybe I imagined the whole thing.

A'yuh. Psilocybin tends to play those kinna tricks on a fella.

I check the township's Facebook sites, the only things on there on the drunk drivers and embezzlers they arrested... they all worked for the township!

Had a decent day of showing videos and talking about safety. Not to bad. if these guys get one thing out of this easy week, I hope they can remember how to link up the sena units. Holy ****, you would think I was trying to ask them to do cold fusion. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to technology ( and this is taking about ten minutes to hunt and peck type), but how many times do I need to show them. It's not that complicated
After a six pack it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Speaking of technology... I got this 67 pound beast via UPS today. Poor driver was taking forever to get it out of the truck, so went out and helped him. I've gotten major appliances in and out of the house with less work than this thing took. That's the lid of one of those military equipment cases that it's sitting on in the pic... that's what they shipped it in! So I got a free (very nice) case out of the deal, too.



So, I spent about four hours figuring out how to run it, checking calibration, etc. and it took two Monster coffee/energy drinks (poor man's crack) and about 6 cups of coffee to figure out that I got a hell of a deal on it. I'll never complain about having to fiddle with the TV remote, again, when it doesn't seem to work the way I think it should. Hewlett-Packard engineers must have been drinking Dr. P's Koolaid when they came up with the menu/control system for this thing. My brain still hurts.
