I like K boom's and green paint job pics. Actually I like shop pics. I always find myself checking out the background in the pics, like looking at all the tools some ya'll have. Its Friday

I hear you man. I was actually trying to be better.. up until this latest round, that is. I guess I just got sucked in..

I'll try and get back on track.. sorry about that..

Yea I agree let's talk about work for a week or so cause watching someone get smacked around like an old rag doll and lose all there dignity should be a treat and now its just the norm there should be a once a week cap ... That's just my take on it ....anyway I am on my way to childrens hospital in a few... Should be pretty stressful so later I will be back for some comic relief

Well not sure what your going for but just because its the size of a childs doesnt mean they can operate on it there for you.

Nope tons of trees and even more crime... I just decided that my buddy needed a little comic relief and since I am taking the day off to celebrate my wifes birthday, my wife could wait until I spread some of my special cheer... I hope all goes well.

At the shop till 11:30pm last night fixing the winch on one of our grapple Chippers, dumbass design, works great now just not sure why you need a plasma cutter and a mig welder to get a winch to work right, came from Woodsmen worthless, the winches on their hand fed Chippers work great but they put a real pos design on the grapple machines.

Replaced the auto feed plus unit also not complaining lasted 4600 hrs and we have 5 machines with the same controller and have never replaced one before, the oldest one has 9800 hrs on it now and the auto feed works great.

Got to the job this morning, its a teardown and we are taking down a bunch of trees down around the house to make room for a bigger house. The builder tells us there is nothing to worry about in the yard drive right in... found a 4'x4'x6' homemade cinderblock drywall type structure with the front tire of the crane. Dropped the crane to its axle, was able to drive out with the diffs locked, so no harm done. The scary part is I was going to set up with one of my riggers right where the tank was, I am very glad I found it with my tire

Wow, that's awesome for that many hours on those chippers! Your right, glad you found that hole before you started hoisting trees!

This is a plum tree I started taking care of about 5 years ago on one of my large properties. The property manager had initially wanted me to weed it out when it was about the size in diameter of my thumb. I recognized it was a plum and decided to give it a chance, even though it was in sad shape. 5 years down the line and it is around 8" at the base and loaded with fruit... I never get to enjoy any of the fruit though; the landscrapers allways beat me to it.
