Surely Dave must have some input on mold, mothballs, vinegar and such… lol

OK if you want me to tell from our private calls Paul. Sad to say his wife has an un named mysterious infection in her snatch and that (mothballs soaked in vinegar) is the only treatment it responds to. I know it was hard for you to disclose that so....but it might work on that as well.

We had some high winds, up to 60mph gusts on this is a property we maintain. The euc came down on the house at night. We hustled to get it done in the morning. The homeowners were worried about further damage to their pool and fence. The root ball is huge, so I took a gamble and had my climber remove the last piece just behind the fence line. The worry was that the root ball would roll forward down the slope and into the fence and pool. We had a 100 ton crane and were good for 6500lbs. at 135 feet. The last cut was only 4800 lbs. The root ball slowly dropped down and stayed there. Next week we need to remove the root ball. That will be a whole different animal. Just thought I would share.

It was a beautiful day!

Was on YouTube earlier and came across our old buddy Dan Murphy. Nothing like a good ole Murph job.

Music's a bit hard to take but doing the same **** I done for 12 years in Flemington NJ near Phila where he is and for 40 years now in S. Ohio. Most trees bigger than Jeff Lovstrom's pathetic SoCal Eucs.

Dead on with that one. The carb on those small Hondas is not adjustable and do gum up easily. My buddy has one on a pump and it was gummed up within a year. I tried cleaning it, but still doesn’t run perfect.

When I took mine to my local shop the tech took a fine file and ever so slightly enlarged one of the holes for the gas to enter because that’s the culprit apparently

That is when things get REAL.

removed a rotten splitting maple yesterday

 

[gorman]

Did a gear inspection this morning while I swapped out my lanyard and found my rope bridge was distorted and damaged. It was only about six months old. Another reason to inspect your gear whether it’s the truck boom or climbing cordage.

^^^^ why I switched my bridge over to some new 16 strand, still have the one that was on my saddle when I got it as a backup, but never use it as main life support any more, if I have to use it I hook to my adjustable as well
working on getting some tight shutting gear storage (Pelican cases or similar) for when my gear is in the shop, so there is less chance of a hungry mouse tearing stuff up

I would have recommended that tree for removal before it ever fell. Super obvious recipe for disaster.

We went out yesterday and "repossessed" 20 thirty gallon Nellie R Stevens hollies. Little skinny dumazz chick that ordered them kept telling me she was out of town and didn't know anything about it.
She then told me she had changed the gate code and wasn't giving it to anyone...did she really think that effin gate would stop me? Hilarious really. She's got 20 holes alongside her driveway now.

LOVE....That's a huge investment...20 30 gallon plants and it would have just become a civil matter (court and no cops involved). LOVE how you handled this!

After all these years in this industry I don't mess around anymore with those F'up rich people that won't pay or want to play some stupid ass game. I play hard ball right off the f'ing bat. I put a whole load of chips in a queers pool last year. When the neighbor (another goddamned queer) got his invoice a few days later he called about ten minutes after the email with his credit card number.

I tried to watch it earlier, couldn’t sit through the whole thing. I had a chuckle when he scampered away from one cut with the pony tail whipping lol.

That reminds me of Slayer, anybody know if he’s still kicking it? And Rope too?

Be good to get Slayer and Ropey back. Never liked Murphy and broke his chops all the time. He copied my schit sometimes like creating a barber chair I put on Tbuzz.
