whadja do today?

[treevet]

Lol. You’re off to a fine start with the basics of what not to do. Keep ‘em coming!! Haha.

Show me what to do Paulsie. No more boring picts...Casadillo Tree Svc. production starring....Pauline Quesidilla.

Lmao…. Trivet, day two:

Shows up with 60 footer, realizes him and Kyle forgot hardhats, goes up anyway (it is day two after all and Kyle-Brian is getting bored in the wood lot, plus customers are looking nervous). Trivet runs out of boom in the 60 footer, looks like we’ll take her here… then realizes Kyle brought the wrong x ring… out of height and x ring.. “****”. Trivit put sling over his head (finally), puts just a bowline on stubborn branch (Rolls quivering in garage) instructs Kyle and the fangled wrapping machine, then almost takes head off. Rinse, lather, repeat. Lmao

50 years, baby!! Lol

 

[treevet]

Remember back in the day...Rope, Oldirty, 101, me, treemandan, treeslayer, treemd (Brent) and then...there was l'il Pauline...

Just sat there and didn't say boo to anybody. Was perty skeered and if one of the big guys said anything to him he sorta went into a shell like a turtle. Had ole beat up **** ...what?... little dinky chipper, one ton chipper truck, stubbs...and a husqvarna or two. Didn't say boo huge lol.

 

[treevet]

[tree MDS]

I guess part of the beauty of getting old is the ability to make your own reality. Lol.

 

[treevet]

After a quick assessment of your rigging skills with a rope, I think you’re definitely better off sticking with the crane. Lol

48. Guess that gives me a little time to catch up… Trivit. lol.

Tom Lasagna the crane dude delivering a statue of a dich Pauline carved for himself to set on his/her (tranny so?) deck recently....

 

[treevet]

I can just picture a once a year crane job with the Quesidilla Tree Company. Lasagna shows up with his sparkling new (read high interest rate financed) crane. Pauline goes "here is the tree...how we gonna get it outta here"....Lasagna goes "fk if I know ...I ain't no tree man"...looks at Mats and gets a confused look. Looks at Splinter and he says "I got nuthin Boss". Homeowners looking out the window skeered to death. Pauline says "I heard of something called a choker...anybody got one?" 4 meat heads shake side to side. In short order sirens are blaring, the local news is there and the crime scene looks like this...

 

[treevet]

while the crane was going over Pauline yelled "I looked on my phone and did you check the load chart?"

Lasagna was heard to yell "Whaaaaaatttss a Looooooooad Chaaaaart?".

It might be funny if it wasn't so sad...(nah it is real funny).

How did that come about?

Reversing or speeding?

Reversing. I took a wrong turn, and just needed to back up another foot or two -- saw a smallish rock and figured, whatever, went over it, and I see the chipper fall into a whole! Shoulda coulda woulda gotten out and looked first! The "little rock" was the top of a boulder in a line of boulders on the side of a 5 ft. deep ditch, hidden in tall swamp grass and blackberries. The pindle hitch kept it from tolling over completely. Long story short, took two different tow trucks and now my Bandit 1390 XP is in the shop, for a new axel and fender assembly. The axel was bent enough to screw up the wheel alignment and stress other parts; plus towing a 8500 lb chipper at 70 mph, you really don't want to worry about bearings seizing and wheels flying off...

Isn’t that your hero kids from “Eastside”? “Guilty of treeson” lol. I love it!!

Nothing is both as sad and funny as your rigging video. I mean really, dude, you showed your old ass there, that’s for sure. I mean that was some total greenhorn bs right there. I was embarrassed for you to be perfectly honest. You might wanna hang up the GoPro till the next sitting duck crane removal, just saying. Lol

 

[tree MDS]

“Take a half wrap around the rigging machine Kyle”!! Lol…

“You’ll be okay” haha

 

[treevet]

Dear Paulsie,

Why won't you address my question from earlier.? You were this meek mouselike guy on ASite going back maybe 15 years ago. Then I get banned and come back and you are like this human dynamo.!!!

Before I could picture you at the computer thinking "I hope these big guys don't step on me" and "maybe they just won't notice me if I am quiet and agree with everything". Ekka, Masterblaster, me, all those other big time guys I mentioned earlier... lol. Nobody even knew who you were????

Now you are all about "THAT'S HOW WE ROLL"...."You don't know how to lower" lol...."I am doing crane work with Lasagna but it is easy" "Hey, climbed a tree today" etc. etc. etc.

Have you take assertiveness classes? Not knocking it just curious. Seems to have worked a bit. Good on you.

Maybe the Dale Carnegie course? I am actually quite impressed.

 

[treevet]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat's aaaaaaaaa Looooooooooaaaad chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrt?

 

[ZinTrees]

hey dave, my dad said your a douchebag but he likes your wife

 

[tree MDS]

I am the same badass I have always been. Ask Tom Lasagna if you don’t believe me. Us old school bad ass dudes don’t change, we just roll on. You’re the same. I just don’t like it when you get all high and mighty and start attacking my people. Tom is a hardcore old bastard, but a genius and a sweetheart reside beneath that tough exterior. That guy would put you through your paces and yell at you like a little ***** (not saying that you are one, but just saying). I pretty much learned to do crane work by Tom yelling at me. It has been a slow process over years, as I’m really not a big fan of crane work, but I’ve come along to the point where I do just fine. That old bastard knows his business, and that’s well beyond crane work. You would likely crawl into your shell if you two were ever to be confronted with each other. He is the real deal. Just saying.,
