At least we know enough to remind us that our 'man suit' should be easy to get to.

Yeah it was hot today, even up in the mountains. My first day of working since I hurt my knee, no easing into it. I removed a dead white Fir in a postal stamp size back yard. I was told it just died, but the bark was flaking off as I climbed, it was a brittle bit#*.
It was across the street from a friend of mine who's a GM for a big company. The guy who's tree it was couldn't afford a real tree service, so I took it down for 300.00. The HO was my grounds men. Took 4 hours in close to a 100 degrees heat.
My friend was yelling advice to me from his patio, Had to tell him,"I don't work for you''. Shut up.
Had to lower must the branches, and I really didn't want to catch that dead top, So I set up a skid line (zip line)at lunch. Not vertical, but close. I took the top over the roof of the neighbors house. I heard a couple screams(I love doing that) then that skid line sucked it in for a perfect landing. Did two more like that, then was able to take 8ft chunks in the 12 ft back yard. I was able to take a 20 ft stick long ways between to cedars. I was beat. Still am.
Well I guess the knee is officially better.
My buddy said the tree should of only took 2 hours, So I offered him my gaffs, but he declined.

I have a bunch of stihl hats most are the cheap black ones. The only time I wear them is when I need a hair cut.Stihl Orange Black Gray Fabric Hat Cap w Patch Over Embroidered Saw Logo | eBay This is the one I have been wearing most of the time.

The Stihl shop down the street from me has the mesh hats... not sure on the color of the patch though. I have one at home... I dare say I dont think they are $20 either... Ill see if they have anymore and get a price.
On another note this guy kind of looks like the guy that use to be in AA's videos... Pittsburgh area too. Maybe with the money not rolling in after Doug hacked his leg half off he needed to find another living.

That's not a bad looking hat.
Anyway:
It was up Route 30 and into the land of the Amish for a bit of the old in out in out. Righty right ? And its beautiful country as its a pleasure to drive up there every once in a while, spur of the moment, for who knows what. Yes, there's a good chance one might not make it back home and I recommend you bring a change of underwear, I do.
Had a lot of fun with 2Tree doing some run of the mill tree work, you know the kind. What else is there to say?
We put the tollchuck on a few trees in dire need of a tollchucking. Took down a mediumish chestnut oak that died last fall. Was jouncing it nicely dumping things onto a couple pulleys and some madcap bombs all while leaving everything below pretty much intact. Then 2Trees goes beating up my poor old Dingo trying to pick up 10 foot sections of the thing.
We got that squared away so I backed the chipper into an old stump hole and stuffed the machine in the back yard to mangulate a couple more.
Well, I say mangulate but you all know I am surgeon. Plus it was all to easy. Yeah I call it work but that's because I am lazy.
And then 2Tree beat up my Dingo even more by shredding a track off the little guy. We were able to stick it right back on though and used it to help plow through the pile of firewood and sawdust we had to make. Without it, it would have been just the two of us and we got out of there just as the ground was getting wet.

AA almost cut his leg off? What happened? Well I probably can figure it out. Dude was a impostor and a fake Marine. But I still hate to hear that he did get hurt, even after all the BS with him.

Fckin BRUTAL last couple days. Had to put my dog down unexpectedly Wednesday. Still sick about it, but we had no choice, his trachea was closed, so he couldn't catch his breath,which enlarged his heart. He was suffering really bad and we didn't know it until it was too late. He didn't show any signs until that day. He was a little Pomeranian who thought he was a Rottweiler. He fathered many a pups! He would mount the women, get done and do grass burnouts while barking afterwords, LOL. Bad aas little ****, with huge nuts! Fiercely protected my wife............. she is a total wreck now. He was her world, kept her company when I was playing Marine and the kids where gone for the summers. I would yell "getem" and he would charge into the darkness looking for a fight. Bouncing on all four barking "who wants some, come on WHO WANTS SOME" He would jump up into the bucket truck and ride around in the skid loader with me. He would get right up next to me while running a saw out back so he could smell the fresh sawdust. Climb all over the wood pile looking for critters. He had no fear. Never put a leash on him, never needed to. He weighed 13lbs but would chase deer out of the yard, even the bucks. I could go on about how cool he is, but you guys get it. Never had to do this before and it SUCKS. Feel like someone ripped my heart out,threw it on the ground and stomped on it.
