    Before you hurt me
    your warmth in the cold nights of winter.
    friendliest shade found.
    in the August sun,
    fruits are fresh and appetizing.

    beam of your house and the table where you eat
    bed of rest, and the keel of your boat.
    handle of the hoe that sits by the door of your home.

    the bread of kindness and the beauty of flower.
    When you pass, take a good look at me, before you hurt me.

    Lost a job today to the local hack. He pisses me off, drives around in a 15 yr old ford explorer with 2 chainsaws and thinks he's a tree service. Oh yes he's got insurance so that must make him ligit. Then I see him in the store and he trys givin me advice on how to bid jobs. I said i guess if i didnt have a bucket,chip trk and chipper i could probly compete with his prices. Only a $400 tree, so not a big loss. I wish there was some regulatory committe or something that could weed these jokes out. Thanx for listening to me rant.

    Met up with a friend this morning to pick up logs from a job that we did on Saturday. Barely made it on his truck and trailer. Looked at a couple of other jobs this afternoon... see what happens. The last one I looked at was very simple; 15' tall spruce tree maybe 20' from the road, drop chip and grind stump. Worked for the lady a couple of years ago, told her $200.. do the tree one day this week but she will have to wait for me to come back and grind. Ok, go for it. Call up a buddy of mine to ask him to grind the stump when he goes out next time with his 252. Turns out he had also looked at the job and was going to call her not 5 min after I had spoken with him to tell her the same price. I told him I'd split it with him.. everybody is happy in the end.

    I got robbed of a 7K dollar removal once by a wannabe and 7K was MY "side job", when we were laid off this winter fir a few weeks, price dude supposedly did it for 1500 I have no idea how he made any money on it or at least didn't loose any. it was biggest dumbest tree I ever did see cant say I was really sorry to see that one go though woulda been the biggest pain in da ass ever it probably would have filled the 60 yard box on the semi and then some and it had to get hauled out of the back yard

    Worked on a volunteer invasives clearing with a parks group I'm sorta on the board of, not that we have met much, the coordinator throws out a date these days......

    As i start to pull this pile of honeysuckle out of the "wooded" area, I feel this bit on my lip, next thing I know this tiny little current vine is dragging me back cuz it has me hooked by the lip with a prickle, just like a fish. Blood was running down my face and I near fell on my butt, though when it scabbed up there were juts three tiny marks on my lip.

    Was funny from my point, musta been hilarious for anyone who might have seen it.

    You should tell the coordinator your story and when he don't laugh say " I guess you had to be there... but obviously you weren't"
