Didn't work today. Was going kayak fishing but got called out on a job early in the morning one technical removal and chucking down a pines. Yesterday finished up a big trim job on a massive sycamore that hadn't been trimmed in over a decade. It was a fun job tell I caught one in the face pulling a hanger out. It torpedoed me before I could duck and let it bounce off my helmet.

There goes my modeling career.;) I'll go fishing Sunday I guess.
 
I pushed my skill set today with 12 alder trees with 4 feet to 10 feet of lean to them, the over all height was about 35-40 feet tall. So in my book that means a heavy lean. I climbed all but 1, all were springy like crazy. My comfort zone was definetly challenged, I'm sort of numb now! No damage to the fence or customers brand new $15,000.00 patio and landscape, I love it when they do all the pretty work then call the tree guy.

Hey, I always admit that it's an improvment.
 
I got one of my silky zubats back!!! Had a climber coming out as a hired gun for me, he didnt have all the bells and whisltes, so I let him go thru my goody bag to set up his gear. Well, he didnt take everything off when we were done and took the saw home. Then he went to jail!! He beat up a dude pretty bad, guy was tring to mess with his girlfriend and some how got hit in the head with a pipe? That happens to guys who mess with others girls. We couldnt get ahold of him and I wanted my brand new silky zubat back! Got ahold of his momma, and sent my guy over to get it, now its home. Sucks, climber is a good guy, just lost his cool when someone was harrasing his women, now he is gone for a year. :msp_angry:

Phone has been going nuts, yesterday I did 6 bids and check a few maintenance accounts. I swear, one older lady has me come once a month starting in March to check her trees, pays me well, but I think she is really just getting me there to look at my butt, its a creepy feeling, having a older lady, always walking behind you , flirting and being all sweet and stuff. To bad she could make 3-4 of me!

Watched my son get mauled by Drew McFedries (UFC) last night in BJJ. Brock gave him hell, for sure, but then ran outa gas, he was trying to get away from Drew, but then Drew would grab an ankle and DRAG him back in, LMMFAO! Brock almost choked him, but then Drew decided enough was a enough and gave him a beatin!

Was going out to remove a dead oak, but my climber, who works a full time gig outside of the tree world, got called in early. I could go up it, but I don't want too, it'll wait. So now we will go do ittybitties

Reminds me of standard reply to the ladys who always ask me. Who should I get to do my trees??
I answer. Lady you get the good looking one, if ya gonna pay bucks for a bloke to turn up yer may as well get the cute ass'd one.

how about that Kampman/Pitbull free fight on Fox week or so ago? What a shocker. Kampman's tough and knows how to win.

Your son named after a ufc fighter beans? McFedries retired?
 
I bought a wedding ring today. :msp_scared:

Awesome Blakes, do you need all of our addresses so you can mail out the invitations? You can stick me, Squad143 (so we can carpool),Treemandan,Stihl-o-matic, Jeff, NCTREE, TREEMDS, Eddie and Jared at one table! I promise to behave.....for the first hour!:msp_biggrin:
 
Finally done with the blasting (for these parts anyway). Today is finish prep, and then epoxy sealer/Imron. Chipper is almost done at the dealer's too. Getting there slowly.

Talked with the boys yesterday, and they're both on board for the season.. told them a week or two. Everything seems to be in order. Sweet!

Nice work Paul... good to see you cleaned up the shop a little before the shot. I found a picture from before you had the boys pick it up.

I didn't see that one? On Fox? Tonight is the premier of the live show, should be interesting!
No Brock actually hates Lesnar! Lesnar came to our gym when he first got into MMA, he went around to different gyms to see where he wanted to train. He is not a nice guy, real cocky, talks about himself in the third person like Tim Sylvia. But we already had one big D I C K (Tim). Guess nobody was interested in training him. That's why he had to build his own gym. Lots of people are glad he is gone, all he had was wrestling, his martial arts skill was mediocre at best. If he was my size, I would smoke him, no problem. But size is everything and that's how he won, ever seen his fist, its HUGE!
Not sure on Drew, he trains, but he hasn't fought in a while, not sure how much the bridge he burnt with Pat is still there. Think he is trying to get in good graces again, guess he left the team a while back, he went to Matt Hughes gym, but that place is going under, if it hasn't already, so he came back, he must have apologized for leaving, because he is back,Pat let him back in. Not sure what happened, I know the rumors, but they are just that.
He is a freaking stud tho, in BJJ, they call him the "best white belt ever", LOL. He has never taken a formal BJJ class, but he smoke's everyone...... every time! I have watched him knockout several world class fighters, in pro class, in the matt room. Bigger guys dont even like sparring with him, he is brutal!
