Town next to mine, big money, mansion town is full of the blackies and it is illegal to take them anywhere period...not that I would let that stop me. Have to wonder why they don't crossbread into a less than dark black state. Maybe they're prejudice, have to get Sharpton down here and figure that out.
Them black squirrels are rats. They just started showing up here in the last decade or so. The grays hate them. Had one running diagonally in front of my truck the other day (almost parallel with road). I felt like running it over. Never seen a retarded squirrel before. Lol.
Finally taking a day off after going hard for the last seven. Might work the weekend, gotta check the seven day and see how things are looking. Feels great to be working steady again! Nice to have the end of winter financial stresses behind me too.
Must be the year of the squirrels, I took 4 in last week from a tree I cut down. They are only two weeks from being released althought my dog got into the box and killed two of them.Today?
A smelly double-trunk spruce by a house. Just down, but I have a feeling when the lady sees the
amount of wood and branches she`s going to want it all taken away after all.
The sad part was when my climber dropped one of the tops... I heard this crying sound.
Poor little buggers came down a good 50` at least. The gray one was barely moving but the black one was pretty lively. Put them aside under some branches. Maybe mom will come back tonight.
Had gloves on and picked them up with branches as gently as I could. Also, I've seen baby squirrels with little fleas and other little critters on them and I don't want to bring that stuff home.
And for my part, I like gray squirrels much more than the other ones.
Some years back, I made the mistake of bringing home three pink baby squirrels. My old lady at the time (animal lover, not so much with people) took them under her wing. Two died, one survived (for a while). I named him "Al", for alpha squirrel. Stupid thing fell off the back of a wingback chair and onto laminate floor one day, was all ****ed up. Took days for that thing to die!! I remember coming home the third day or so to the old lady whimpering on the floor with the thing, still in her pajamas. I felt like putting them both out their misery. I vowed, never again with the squirrels. Lol.

The only thing I don't love is the Allen head that attaches the swivel ? Do you back up the swivel or am overthinking and negating it's usefulness

Taughtline, baby. Just pay me.
Today: found out we`re not that bright - but we are lucky. 
The spruce we took down yesterday was the wrong tree. The job was set up over the phone - happens often enough with us - and after we did the estimate and phoned the lady back, it was understood that the POS in front of the house by the wires was the one coming down. So we meet the customer today to get paid, and she tells us she wanted the other POS in front of the house by the wires down. Except that POS was actually a perfectly healthy cedar with a few small branches going into the wires leading to the house. It never occured to us for a second that she would want a healthy cedar down but leave the big azz spruce that`s rotting and sits right between the house and the high tension wires.
In the end, and with a smile, she agreed that the one we took down was the one that should have gone and we`re going to trim the cedar back so the branches aren`t in the wires. And she gave us a check for the full amount we had agreed on over the ophone, Lucky indeed.
Today, other than collecting, was a sweet piece of ash. Would have loved to have kept the wood, but the customer wanted it.

Found out today I really have no competition from one guy around me. Saw an estimate he gave for a job that I got. He was twice the price that I gave and the job was easy. Can't understand the high number. Oh well, he won't be around there anymore.

I was taught in environmental biology that this is not true.
Today I found out a family member has late stage melanoma. Terminal. Please remember to protect yourself from the sun. It will catch up with you.
