Passing a 2.4mm kidney stone right now, just got back form ER, woke up in so much pain. Glad it is just a stone and not something worse. Took a ride in a wambulance. Never had a kidney stone before and now I know what ya talk about. Sucks real freakin bad. Going to do a freebee "Rescue" job for a vet today. They threw a craigslist add up about free wood for taking down a tree. Some one replied and dropped a big oak into another tree. They said that they thought he was going to kill himself when he dropped another into the yard and ran into the LZ as it was coming over. So I am going to get the one on the ground and then we are going to buzz up the logs. So dude can come back and get wood ( he was desperate for heat as he lost his job and has no money, but had a chainsaw and its getting pretty cold) The HO's had no money, why they put the add up, hoping someone could do it for free. She is a vet that was held hostage, while there, she developed cancer (while in captivity). She was rescued is now home, dealing with that and severe PTSD. Goes to show ya, no matter how bad ya got it, someone has it worse. Both peeps are honest and just have had a bad run. Don't think I would be even consider going out today with this stone. Feels like someone is sticking a fork in my right side and fishing around. But I told them I would be there as they are desperate to get the tree down safely. So we will see how this goes! Got backup, so I may just sit in the truck and stupervise. This also showed me that those adds we stick up on that thread I started, the free tree deals that we make fun of, may have some more behind it than just at face value. Guess if I was broke, had a tree that needed to come down badly, I might do the same thing. Sometimes it might not be some cheap jack ass trying to get over or a moron that thinks his walnut is worth thousands. It could be a broke POW battling cancer. Going to take pics and vid. These stumps are horrendous, worst cuts I have ever seen. Don't worry Eddie, got extra diapers just in case!
