whadja do today?

I would think the Dan is clever enough to have figured this out on his own.. but you never know.

...

The supply line was froze which happens every year now that I put the tank outside. I guess I might bring it back in the garage or rig up a heater. I have the furnace running off a can of diesel right now.

Putting some diesel fuel conditioner seems a lot easier than bringing in the storage tank. I'm not sure that the good doctor thought of that. Sometimes a specialist, no matter how clever, needs a little help from a GP like myself.

A splash of gas in the tank will get the gel out aswell , had to put a cup into the backhoe the other nite it started freezing up at the diner

or kerosene

They were supposed to be adding treatment to the tank and the line and manifold seem to freeze when the tank is low. I originally moved the tank outside for the room I would have in the garage but now I am thinking that a tree could fall on it.


At least I can get a real good idea about how much oil is used per day.

I also am getting a good idea how much booze is used per day.



I got up this morning with the intention of just chilling and taking the kid sleding again but I was summoned to replace the starter in my wife's uncle's Tarus. I did it in a parking lot this morning and taking the good officer's ( that would be Tree Pig) I stopped for the jar of cherry moonshine liquor... and bought a gun




And got a fresh Pedi

I sawed this shotgun up soes I would have something to wave around while I am watching TV




And I have been needing one of these for quite awhile now

None of that around here for miles. I thought it strange myself.

And of course there is Mr Mc Nugget right there alongside a healthy supply of acclimated firewood.

Spent the last two days chipping brush at a townhouse complex, for a property maintenance company.
Got the job off an add I put on Kijiji (think Craigslist) when the storm hit.

The maintenance company was using their own "tree guy" to cut the broken limbs and their guys to pile the brush along the roadways. Tangled mess , but we're charging per hour.

Today we saw their so called "tree guy" working away. Just had to shake my head. Talk about a lability. Nice guy, means well, but no clue.

 

[tree MDS]

Kinda disappointed, actually... lol.

Here he is ascending the tree

With his main ground guy holding the ladder. Had 911 on speed dial, but fortunately he didn't require it today. Just a matter of time.
He was actually proud of his work and technique.

We landed two big maple removals (between two apartment buildings) with this maintenance company. Trees are around 60' high. Guess their guys ladder wasn't tall enough

Hoping to finally get the chipper back up and running after replacing the water pump. Of course john deere gave me the wrong hoses. Another hour trip to the dealer tomorrow.

Looks like a pain in the butt

That's one seriously gay looking operation you got going on there. Just saying, there Mr fireman. You got lighted running boards on that bad girl too??

 

[treeman75]

They have about the whole city shut down tomarrow. Its going to get down to -25 and -50 with the windchill. Im getting tired of the cold and need to get out and do something.

 

[squad143]

Isn't it hard to climb a tree wearing mukluks & mittens?

Seriously! What can you wear for covering your hands that lets you keep your fingers from freezing and still run a chainsaw? I would think that you would need a different climbing saddle in the wintertime just to accommodate the additional layers of clothes.

Local clothing store (Mark's Work Warehouse) sells leather gloves with removable liners that are quite warm in winter, but not too bulky. Can still operate the 200. In minus 30, the hands still get cold, but after awhile, you kinda get a "second wind" and your hands get used to it.

I wear the same saddle (ergovation) and climbing pants ( Pfanners) but wear micro-fleece long johns underneath. Expensive, but worth it.

My linesman boots are way too cold to wear in this weather. I was recommended to try Cofra Thermic boots. http://forums.redflagdeals.com/tsc-stores-cofra-thermic-boots-reg-189-week-99-a-1276896/
Believe it or not, these rubber boots are fairly warm (with good socks) and not too bad on spurs.

Doesn't all that bulky clothing make your ass look fat though?

Yes it was........ but the pay was good

Ya, we had the strobes going cause we were playing disco music real loud to drown out the chipper noise.... being early on a Sunday morning and all.

No running boards on the truck yet, but a good idea. Hard to get my old ass in the truck at the end of the day.

I'll definitely light them up though. Freddy Mercury tribute.
