Blew the dust off my arb cert study guide. Gonna hit the books for a few weeks then take the test. I started this endeavor 3 years ago and got sidetracked with rapid growth which is good, but time to put some credentials behind my work, the city and county said so haha.

Only part I'm worried about is the terminology in the biology sections. I can draw it and talk about it but mix up my terms, which isn't good.

It's easy peasy, I was pretty worried about the biology section myself but it's actually not too bad I read the book and answered the "sample test questions'' once as I was going along with the prep class my boss signed us up for (useless). then in the last week I re read the chapters I needed a refresher on did the other workbook crap at the end of the chapters. went n took the test got a 86% and I know I mixed up a term that got me three wrong answers. Also there are a few questions that are not covered in the study guide, not really sure where I would even come across the specific question in a study material...

Went out to pick up logs today. Had to put some oil in the injector pump of the 7.3 because I drained it yesterday because I didn't plug it in. I drove all the way across town, got the mini started OK but even after an hour the throttle lockout would not budge. The guy who is supposed to carve this pole showed up and I was glad I got more for taking it down than he gets for carving... but not much more. He said he needed about ten feet of trunk and I was like, " so right there then?" He was like, " That's a lot more than ten feet!" and started dicking around with a ruler. 10'1". Yeah, like I said. So I drove back across town and started messing with the plows, found one that worked and came home where I started a fire and drinking til my kid got into my jerky and I had to beat her which didn't go according to plan after she landed one in the crotch and one in the spine. I laid there hollering while she kept at the bag of jerky laughing and taunting.

And she used to be such a little angel:laughing:
 
I froze my butt off today.
Forgot to plug the vehicles and chipper in last night. Trucks took some time to start, chipper was real difficult. Was -15°C (5°F) this morning. The windchill was brutal today.
Must be getting soft with age. Hope tomorrow that at least the winds are gone.
At least the equipment is plugged in.

If you push snow this will be a very good thing. In my area, if we get a inch of snow people freak out. Looking at the forecasts for this storm, it could shut down our nation's capital.

It is hard for me to think what you guy's go thru during winter. this is time of year is so opposite from ya'll,
Makes for good reading tho!

If you spend any time driving or doing tree inventories and stuff, you could get the audio. My buddy does not read well and he studied while listening to the cd's and passed on the first time.

I spent the first week of January in Cuba.
Sunny, 30°C (86°F) for the whole week.
If that's the weather that you're experiencing Jeff, no wonder why you always say "It was a beautiful day".
I think that warm weather has ruined me for this winter. First trip "south" I've taken in the winter in 25 years. I could get used to it.
Today I had to salt under the tires of the bucket truck and under the outrigger pads cause I was worried about the truck sliding down the driveway.
