whadja do today?

Bottom line 101, you may meet me, Rope N Saddle, Tree Vet or OD someday at a storm party. Who knows, I might be the one to get your foot in the door. You might bring more equipment to bare on the job than I have. But I may be your local connect. You may want to work through my advertising network or existing client base if I am overwhelmed. If I had you lined out for $2000 a job for as far as you could see would you worry about what I was making? It has happened before brother trust me. Why belittle the working man who is making it the best he can right now and try to cause strife and say he is not making enough or getting his fair share... That's not your call.

You seem to have a hard on for OD and I for one don't understand it. He seems to be doing fine to me and it's not your worry what he makes. The experience he is gaining now just might be what makes him be able to work a little more efficient than you and be a real competitor to you someday.

It is my fault in part as to discussion of what oldirty makes as we misunderstood when he was talking about weight instead of amount paid for the job. When I thought it was the boss (innocent mistake) gloating about what he made to the employee that is the key player in that job....I merely commented that he better be appreciating (monetarily) that guy (Justin) if he is gonna gloat.

Wish I could have taken it back after I found out it was a misunderstanding. None of anybody's biz what he makes if he doesn't wanna say.

We made around $55k in 3 weeks (the remove from houses with a crane phase) with mostly a 2 man crew during our hurricane just to give you perspective of what the possibilities are. If I did not have my own crane, I would not have done nearly so well as all crane rentals and companies were unavailable and out trying to make the top dollar like we were so it is understandable.

If you brought a crane with you in a storm situation that would be very doable... I like motion lotion and I don't want my back rubbed...

oh my god I just puked in my mouth on that one. Stop. Funny though

During our large ice storm our first three jobs were 10.6, 5.4 and 6.7. We did that in the first week so you can do the math. And that is not counting the smaller jobs we did of cutting people out of their driveways and removing a couple of limbs from houses. That is not what I made mind you, it is gross. We were running 2 crews and renting a crane. If I had someone with their own crane and crew who I didn't have to babysit they would have been worth a pretty penny to me indeed.

The VT has quite the learning curve. I tried it 3 or 4 times before I finally went back and settled on it as my hitch. I use the beeline 8mm (after trying most others) like you have pictured and find it to be a lot more resilient than I thought it would be. I tie double fisherman's to terminate the ends of the beeline, keeps it cheeper, though JPS will tell you he had one come undone.

Yeah, that was Bee-Line. One of the reasons I went back to Stabile Braid, aside from it being 1/3 the cost of the Bee Line.

Speaking of bees (line)....yesterday went to my n'bor's house to assess/bid a big tulip tree. Out he comes from the thickly woody deep rear embankment with a tray in his hand and a hat with netting on it and bees zooming just all over the place.

He breaks me off a piece of the honey comb just dripping with fresh honey and one for himself. I put a big piece in my mouth and......wow....what a taste. Kind of a sensual experience. After chewing the comb all that is left is a waxy clump I spit out. Man that was good.

Speaking of bees (or more wasps), have you ever noticed that they seem to want to dive bomb you more when you wear red? I don't know what the deal is but I have noticed that every time I get stung I am wearing a red shirt...
