Also bought myself a nice present.
Been climbing on a glide light on and off for at least 8 years. Time to retire it.

Had this arsehole pine today. Thing was over the primaries and I couldn’t bomb anything big. Had to get out of the bucket and waddle my way up the thing and speedline the branches down. Pulled over the top and went to descend and my akimbo was locked up. Pine pitch.
Had them send up my rope runner and that locked up too.
I think it’s the XStatic rope. I had to descend on a rescue figure 8.
Ground the stump too.

I sure hope that line was deenergized [emoji849] you know that's a violation of some policy somewhere, right?Had this arsehole pine today.

They were energized. And I was micro-dosing.
I actually climbed yesterday too.
I had almost forgotten I scheduled this job till the guy called. My first reaction was like “Gulp”. Lol. I did really well though. I guess I was due.

Y’all be safe.Had this arsehole pine today. Thing was over the primaries and I couldn’t bomb anything big. Had to get out of the bucket and waddle my way up the thing and speedline the branches down.

Another storm came through last night.
Ash failed at an old cable. Rental house on the renters cars.

Removed an oak over a fence and swimming pool. Was doing he cut and swing thing with my silky on a limb when I hit the top of my left forearm with the silky. Boy that blood sure does shoot high when you nick a vein. Things I have learned.
We passed two hospitals that did not have a trauma center to go to one with a vascular surgeon. 50 minutes with a tourniquet app hurts, but there is no waiting when you arrive. Evidently good first aid works because all the bleeding had stopped when they removed the tourniquet, the doctor put a bandage on it and cut me loose.
- Always have a trauma kit on your belt.
- It’s really tough to reach your trauma kit on the back of your belt when your holding your left arm with your right hand.
- Always have an exit strategy.

I’ve been climbing on the CF Titanium Geckos for over year, they rock.

Either it's a religious thing? Or he doesn't like sunburn on his neck. I'm Not sure.What’s up with that towel around the head deal?
Not me, no one takes pics of the cool stuff I do.
So I've been taking pics. I try not to break my phone, so it stays in the pickup while I work.no climbing harness when cutting tree and no safety harness while in the lift. you are a total pro.
I wasn’t going to comment but figured I should before I see him on the dripline. @AGoodSteward, glad you’ve made it this far working as a bad ass that doesn’t require fall protection. Learn to do this **** right or quit posting in the Commercial tree care forum. Maybe 101 or the homeowners forum will accept this bull ****. Or just keep being a bad ass hack and keep inflating insurance and workers comp rates for those of us that give a flying **** about this industry.
If I offended any of you with this comment, I personally don’t give a ****. I work my ass off and spend a lot of time continuing my education to make me better. Idiots that put on a hard hat and a high viz shirt ( and call themselves professionals) are the reason my insurance and WC is so high. Of the 78 fatalities on dripline, I wonder how many actually knew what a hazard assessment was. I wonder how many companies actually provide real training. Maybe I’m just a bit drunk and feeling ornery tonight.

Haters gotta hate.
Trolls gotta troll.

Lol. Everybody seems to go right for the high viz shirts when they’re starting off these days. It’s almost like a right of passage.

I check every morning to give me something to talk about with the crews. It’s an odd thing. Everyone I work with wants and has a reason to go home everyday. Since we started doing quick safety meetings and job hazard assessments, production has actually gone way up. And have not had a lost time accident in over five years and an average of 30 field employees.

Will this be your response to the authorities and employees family members after an accident caused by lack of the most basic safety equipment?

That's the owner. I'm taking the picture.
I see. Maybe don't post incriminating photos of your boss on the internet?
Owners showing employees how to work without basic safety standards just makes for new generations of unsafe workers in the industry. Very irresponsible.
