Like 2 peas (and I mean pea like urine) in a pod. Pathetic. Embarrassing.

Did about 3k in tick sprays and systemics. Got back to the shop by 3:45. Didn’t work hard at all.
It was a Good Friday.
PHC is where it’s at …….
Cuttin a big black Walnut with the crane tomorrow, hopefully will gross what I did today.
But I still love the cutting, so as the MDS says that’s how we roll…..

Sounds like you have time for looking at Shigo memorabilia with Super Dave then!! LoL.

Mds doesn't do tick sprays but he often finds crabs in his crotch. Can you treat them. That's how he rolls.

Have been quietly building a market for by-product materials for some time.

Mulch & fuelwood are fine, but relatively low value, a bonus of sorts.

But native timber market is evolving rapidly in the State with phasing out of certain parts of the timber industry, so demand for alternative products is increasing. Fortunate to have such a range of useful timber amongst our native species & a number of large plantations in the inventory.

Sold a truckload of spotted gum poles yesterday, some stockpiled, some harvested yesterday from plantation. Easy size to handle with Vermeer & HIAB - 100-200mm 3.6m. Didn't even have to debark them.

Two person crew, out of yard at 0900, back by 1330, couple of hours to deliver in arvo, including a coffee stop & peruse of machinery at wood yard, leisurely pace compared to a 'normal' tree day, gross over 3G.

Obviously AUD peso's aren't the same as US ones, but still a fair day.

Where did they go you ask?

Can see why you guys all run those buckets.

Ridiculously cheap machinery by Australian standards, even with the conversion rate.

Used to be value in byproducts here but now with so many entire mulch companies, no value in a truck load of chips and with the market glutted with ash wood the firewood industry has gone kaput. I sold my Timberwolf tw5 and 30' conveyor. Used to get $360. per split cord. People would laugh at that price now with ash wood free for the taking and an entire football stadium could be filled to the brim with logs as soon as EAB hits their town. As for lumber I have a saw mill less than 5 miles from me and they have logs as far as the eye can see and turn down even high quality stuff. But seems like you are on to something over there in Oz.

 

[treevet]

your whole life is centered on insulting others.

Uhhhhh Tom...weren't it YOU who insulted an ENTIRE RACE????? Let's look in the mirror and be real here son.

Big mossy bugger that one.

Like the GOT videos now he's out on his own, seem a lot more genuine.

Not true. I hate BLM. No way would I have defriended you if that was true. And like I said ...I let it go once with my friend in the conversation...but not twice. You know it...I know it.

Got new shirts made. My buddy who did this artwork does stuff for bigger fish like Andrew W.K. and others. These aren’t for working in obviously.

This tree was kind of a pita, septic tank to the right, huge canopy over the house, etc. Hated this tree, but done flawlessly. (Don’t know where that last pic came from, disregard).

More (yawn) stills of tedious repetitive work being done manually when a crane would have been the right tool.

Not really getting the cheese on the cracker bit. Does the ole lady's snatch smell like cheese when your little cracker gets near it? Just don't get it. I know you perceive it to be some big insult. Maybe Tom Lasagna can explain it?

Yeah and with each new post of yours it gets gooder and gooder.
