I plowed my driveway and realized I have to replace the bucket pins/bushings in my asv. Not a huge deal, then I got a message on the computer of my Tundra which the dealer says is a 4K fix.
 
I was bidding a job today and some of my "competition" keeps driving back and fort yelling out "Don't use that guy...don't use that guy." What a moron.
Any jerk that behaves that way deserves to fall in a sink hole...truck and all! I hope you get the project.

Well thanks. The little job really wasn't worth anything to start with. That jerk is really pitiful trying to take it away from me like that. I mean, it's just about a charity deal.

Reminds me of a clown who tried to undercut me by $100 to try get my job after the owner kindly showed him my $2800 (?) estimate.
She (homeowner) then cancelled said job via a 9:45pm phone call the night before we were scheduled to do the work...and after I had loaded up the mini and alturnamats in the trailer, etc. Everyone was a loser on that one, and I hated each one of us, myself included.
 
Craned a tree off a house yesterday. It was my third tree on a house call for the day. A lot of the roads are closed due to trees on wires. This one was close so i got a 50 ton crane to come in and we removed it with one pick.uploadfromtaptalk1391681460984.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391681483395.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391681501718.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391681522129.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391681532922.jpg Got lots of storm work calls to look at today.

Had a customer kinda screw with me like that on a oak prune.
I had a call last week, night before the start, dude wanted to know if I would match a price. "I feel more comfortable with you doing it, but you are way more expensive than this guy" I'm pissed, all set up, ready to go. Small little weather windows, in between snow storms. So scheduling is a bit tough. I ask who, lol, he tells me it the same POS that I always talk about. I say noway, right away, with out hearing the price. I am smoking pissed now. REALLY! THAT GUY! He ask's why. I told him that he is asking a 5 star steakhouse to drop their price to compete with Hardees, because you like their food better, but Hardees is cheaper. . He sat silent for second, started busting up laughing and then asked what time I would be starting. He had planned on screwing with me, never even called the other dude! Dyck!
 
Forgot to mention she later sent me a little "I'm sorry" note with a cheque for $50 that is still lying around somewhere.
I refused to cash it out of spite.


That's great, remind her of that little transgression every time she has to reconcile her checkbook and it still hasn't gone through!
 
Hmmmm, seems there`s a little love going on at AS these days?

Indeed!
