Wasn't sure where to put this. I've been out of commercial work for a good while. Let my license and insurance go. Don't do any climbing anymore. Was cleaning out my photo albums. This is the last big tree I climbed and really had fun. It was a big Maple that was cracking. There was a storm coming up the East Coast, and an old friend asked if I could get it down ASAP. The crack was opening up a good foot and I was worried about putting my 200 pounds up in the top. The section that was cracking was over the power lines and his house. Told my friend I would have to use a crane. He said do it. Anybody else getting old and actually have a pic of their last big tree? Jollylogger, that last tree of yours doesn't count. I expect to see you up in something big soon! The last time I posted this pic every body jumped on me for no helmet, no ears, no chaps. We didn't use all that much PPE 20-30 years ago. I guess it was time for me to move over and let the guys that really know what they are doing take over. Now all I do is hunt, fish, and shoot my target 22's, Joe.
