I do skull taxidermy in the winter too, it works well with having a tree service. The only guys doing tree stuff up here in the winter is asplund and they don't ever seem to get out of the truck lol.

Man, this year something is definately different. Looks like I'm going to be booked right up to Christmas the way things are going. I'm a little nervous about getting snow plowing contracts fulfilled at the same time. Anyone else busier this winter?

Yeah, i'll agree with that. We usually let a couple of our summer crews go by now, but even they have work right to the end of the year.

I climb in wind like that all the time here outside Chicago.....

Yep booked until January, unless they are emergencies (have 3 different contracts) I'll try and do em the day of or day after. I'm trying to spread things out a little.
