Willows over a septic just plain suck. Good to read ya again Eddie. Since you went on vacation, I followed your advice and got a mini. Should've done it ten years ago when I was still young. Anyhow, I'm glad you're alive and doing well.
That's awesome man , my back thanks me everyday I don't have to load wood by hand or with a stupid cart .

After years of working as an analytical chemist with a big pharmaceutical company, my wife is going to start working with me doing the tree work and landscaping/hardscaping. She's a tough old bird, and I like having her on the jobs... she's not afraid of work, and we don't argue about petty crap. Going to be a good year, I think. She's afraid she might hurt my high dollar saws, so I got her a $99 (on sale) 42cc Poulan Predator to play with. Told her we'd use it to grind stumps or cut roots when she feels comfortable with the better saws. Her only rule was... "I'm not leaving the ground. I am NOT climbing a tree." I'm good with that. Somebody has to be there to call 911 if I fall on my head, right?

If I fell out of tree and my wife saw it she would quietly walk away , collect the insurance money and marry someone who didn't stink.






I got done ripping out the black moldy caulk from within my shower floor about an hour so I made a jug of martinis and came down to start a fire and let the bleach evaporate from my sinuses. I was just sitting there minding my own business when there was rapping upon my front door. Hoping I would finally get to shoot someone, I went out the back door and snuck up on him. After his initial shock and against my religious beliefs I let him speak. He said something about seal coating my driveway while I surveyed his conveyance which turned out to be a jive ass non-descript white Ford F150, white in color and probably bought at auction, 2 wheel drive of course. Emblazoned upon this sad and pathetic vehicle were all sorts of words, most of which I could barely scrutinize. I did see one banner that stated " Complete Tree Work". So I did what any normal man would do, I squinted at him through my vodka and bleach polluted eyes and as my head lolled to and fro said, " I think you better leave right now " and he did.
