I hear ya. There ain't no livin' in dyin'.

You'd be surprised how many people will smoke themselves right into the grave knowing that they're killing themselves. I have an image in my head of my grandfather who continued to smoke right up to the bitter end. He had black lung, emphysema and lung cancer. I cannot get the picture of him coughing up blood then lighting up a cigarette out of my head. I refuse to go out like that.

Lol dying ain't much of a living boy:cheers:
 
Beautiful day, 14 dead hemlocks removed. Few more to do tomorrow. All dead from adelgid infestation, only a few were actually climbers but it was a fun day. I think Fishercat has all the good pics but heres a few.



Me and my 90 ft hemlock

Of course Fishercat got the harder ones, this was just over 100

Why are you cutting down dead trees in the middle of the forest?

There would be no money in that around here. In the midwest, trees are left to fall on their own.


That's a real cute little tractor. I have never seen one that small with a grapple bucket.

He is wearing everything other then helmet, but then his hair wouldnt blow in the wind.

Tractor is all we could get in the yard, the neighborhood we are working in is all 700k and up homes with extensive landscaping. That tractor does an awesome job by the way. In this case the HO didnt want to look at the dead trees anymore.

Nice job guys . Good looking property too.

I won't say anything about the helmet. I have been known to leave mine on the ground on hot days and easy climbs as well. Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't. At least I wear one these days.

Good job love bombs away stuff:cheers:
 
Finished up the that job today all together about 20 hemlocks, 1 dead ash and 1 big dead birch snag. Lot of fun and helmetless or not fishercat gets the job done and safely void the above mentioned helmet. We got few more take down jobs two trees each or more all in the same neighborhood plus a crap load of others lined up so work is going well... just have to find time to get to it all.

We removed a 4' dia Honey locust today Sat. (Gleditsia triancanthos I believe).

We would have had it done as we had the dingo and the crane going at it and made a 14 foot chip box full and half of another 14 footer of wood chips....but the entire tree was encapsulated by dead vines and a lot of it is left for Mon. to rake up while we do the stump. 2 guys and a lot of equipment. Took some real nice fitted shots with the 46 of leaders in open spots with plenty of observers including Mr. and Mrs. HO. Sat.s are good for advertising.

Beautiful day and low humidity. Felt even better because yesterday was a dog schit all over the yard day.
 
Have an excuse to spend more time in the shop...busted the old foot a few days ago, and since Obamacare hasn't kicked in yet, going to be awhile before I can dodge anything. At least there are alot of projects to get done.
