It sure is, but its not raining for once and I got lots of work to get done.
Understood.
But the neighbours (neighbourhood) don't raise on eyebrow when the chipper gets a' growling early on The Lord's day off?

Laid on my ass today, had a long busy week playing catch-up and helping a top trimmer get the confidence to be a foreman, and I think he's gonna do good. The 2 owners of our company went to Alabama this weekend to check out a SkyTrim to get us ahead on our contract with the local power utility and so he can put more time and men towards keeping residential work caught up. Pretty pumped about it all as it will hopefully free up more time for me to get more climbing in and not focus so much on our routine bucket work. I just don't prefer working in a bucket, I love climbing so far, even though I still have a lot to learn.

I think these are about the same. We use the crap out of these and they never break. 'And these guys are site sponsors.

Personally I only like these rakes for stump chips. They are the best dam stump rake ever. They would be really good for thatching a yard to.

I have used both and the groundskeeper grabs too much. The maintainer dont grab as much and is easier to use on most raking. I called the guy from the maintainer last year and talked with him about his rakes and the groundskeeper and he said the guys from the groundskeeper stole his idea, but who knows. I use the maintainer because its what is sold in the local stores here. Im all for supporting the site sponsors.

Nice Jared, what did that take you? 2 mins?

That stump didnt even take that long due to the fact I could only grind it flush to grade because of cable and telephone lines that rain under the stump.
Ground 10 stumps in under 2 hours. Two of them were pretty big.
