Man, you fukers work too much, lol. It's over for the day boys... Drink a beer. :D

JK, I'm eat up with it just as bad. I had to call mama a liar for telling me money don't grow on trees... Stuck at home tonight because I have to work tomorrow... and prolly Sunday too. Man, I'll be glad when I get caught back up so I can hit the town for a night. I'm due!!!
 
Going back to work Monday, like it or not...can't say how out of shape two weeks of rain and one week of injury makes one feel.
Feels good to even think about work...though I will miss the last 3 days in the hot-tub...
 
Where to begin... Had to make a dump first thing this morning and with this road work going on all over the city from stimulus I have to drive 10 miles out of the way to get to the dump with bumper to bumper traffic... Even on Saturday. Get a call from my stump guy at 9 and he has already completed all 4 stumps I have given him at two locations and says he is in route to the location I am working today (even though he is not supposed to be there til Monday). That's great but I have not stumped the trees out yet and I'm stuck in traffic. I get to the job and he's waiting for me (man I hate that). I get one stump flush cut for him then jump on the big one (48"). This is a multi leader River Birch with 4 big stems. Filthy in the crotches to begin with but there was a big hunk of metal in there as well. Go through two chains stumping this one out. Get another load of logs while we are screwing with the stump and send my guys to the dump. It was 1:00 before I got in my next tree, around a 90' maple with a 15x20 drop zone and broken, storm damaged limbs on the house. Got another load of brush and logs out of it but still have to top it and block every piece out of both forks. No way to lower one off the other because the one over the drop zone is broke off and the tallest side where I could rig from is right over a metal patio roof. I'm going to have to lower both sides off their self with a block as well as the spar. My normal dump site is too wet to get into so I am having to dump at the city green waste which is closed on Sunday so no work tomorrow. Heck of a day but I did get 7 stumps ground, 2 loads of logs and one load of brush moved. Went to the parts store, got spark plugs, came home and got one of my saws that was down running.

Also bought two 1 1/2" rib eyes, 2 monster potatoes and a pound of shrimp for me and my numero uno ground man. We worked like dogs but ate like kings and watched the play offs (I'm a Celtics fan).

Tools are put away, dogs are fed and dishes are done. Good day.

I hope you're out making that vid old stuff.

I cant wait to see what four thousand years of tree experience looks like in action. :hmm3grin2orange:
 
Nice job Rope.

Kind of funny, you get a picture in your head of someone after chatting with them for a few years on this site. I picture rope as looking like Crocodile Dundee. After seeing him I realize he has got the same bald spot as me... It sucks getting old.
