    We went out this am to shape some big shrubs, had to work off a deck, as soon as you walked up on it, it felt like a sauna, for real. Had to have one of the boys blast me with the blower so I could see, other wise, it was a constant stream of sweat in them.

    I did breakdown and buy this today.

    Sho nough, slide right on my pole saw, was nice having not to stress about tall shrubs. Heavy tho, NOW I wish I hadn't thrown away that shoulder strap! Haven't done much shrub work lately. I have been turning them away as I don't wanna fall off a ladder with a hedge trimmer and have it on you tube. Thought long and hard about tying it to a rope and swinging it above my head to trim them, but decided I didn't want to use the rope.

    I got a couple of those angle sickle bars. I use them on alot of things from trimming hedges to clearing lots that have saplings in them. They cut grass really good too, but if you get them in the dirt you gotta sharpen them again.

    160' of 5/8 "house rope" from our gear store, and most of the time the stuff comes down slow to very slow, and my climber tends to cut large pieces. But there are a few quicks drops at times, that's for sure.

    Not sure how many times we've used the Porta (we call it "La Friction"), maybe a 100 to 150 individual lowerings since I got it, so I would imagine the thing is going to show some wear after a while.

    Any thoughts on re-doing the paint job?

    Got my new compressor today. What a ordeal. It was to tall for my second story door on the garage when i lifted it up with the skid loader. I had to sit it lower then the bottom of the door, then tip it and drag it in. What fun. I finally got it all hooked up and what a difference. I can run my sand blast cabinet constintly without losing air pressure. It kicks on, and refills in like 1-2 mins, and then takes about 4-5 mins before it kicks back on while sandblasting.

    Going nuts trying to decide on whether to go out or hide from the heat. I hate this, have tons off work, but man I cant hardly deal with it.

    Gotta laugh for ya, the one guy who was trying to pass himself off as me is now willing to trade whatever for work. Put a add on craigslist for it, there is another one doing it as well. Times must be tough! Copper buds told me that one of them is under investigation for dealing drugs, using the tree business as a front, wouldn't surprise me, had a ex-employee go over there and actually seen the guy smoking crack, my ex-guy told them, and just thought this was funny coming from a bare knuckle brawler "that is not condusive (sp?) to my well being, so I will pass"

    I am going to put a add on there "willing to trade tree work for money"

    Ran a bid to remove 6 walnuts, sized 35'-55'

    the customer is a furniture maker and will be using the wood for that, He processes it all, and does the clean up, so all I have to do is drop the trees and cut them into 8-12' sections. He has lots of work for us in the future doing the same type of stuff, and I now have someone to buy quality wood from me from other jobs! he's already slated to buy the poplar I have lined up.

    I didn't make any money, but it was still a good day.
