The crew and I removed the dead central leaders of a 50+ ft Torrey Pine. The awesome part about it was one of the 4+ ft branches embedded itself through 1.25 inch of asphalt and into the ground itself. We tried pulling it out with a rigging line and a chip truck but ended up breaking the braids. Finally we used a mattock to chip away at the wood and filled up the hole with cold set asphalt.
Never thought I'd be doing road repair in this profession.
Next time something of this magnitude happens record and YouTube it so that you don't have to rely on a 'Go Fund Me' page when you rake in the reality TV royalties.

Nah not a euc, like a golden ash, desert ash etc.
Today we removed three 80ft redgums, wright deducting on two more ash trees, back there tomorrow to remove a big dead euc in creek that's about 1300mm diameter and 4 big pines on a fence line and it's going to be 39c

-22C here yesterday morning.
These be desperate times! But nice scenery if that counts for anything.
My mistake; it was a branch from a codominant Torrey Pine; left my brain at the yard yesterday
.Here's a pic of it.

I am more worried about you at this point. I mean yer really talkative, more is coming out of yer mouth than usual, not yer standard one liners and such if you know what I mean. I'm sure you do. What gives? RUOK?
Well, now this storm is going to be "historic", 18-24" inches for my area. Predicting power outages and general death and destruction.

Drove back out to pick them logs up today. I fired the 55 on the first try and was blasting my heat gun on the throttle linkage and what I thought was the lockout switch but it was to no avail. I could drive the thing around a little and was pulling its trailer out from where I had stuck it about to give up when the throttle finally came alive. I loaded the logs, made the client moist with a couple candid remarks and my treeman swagger then got the Hell out of there before this whole world turn to complete and utter shite.
The steering shaft needs to be taken apart and lubed cause when you let go it still goes around in circles by itself. That can't be good but kind of fun to watch.
Supposed to get a few inches tonight and I am going to try to get another cord up to Peabody's sometime before the shite storm. I built him a lean-to of " Live Free or Die" proportions so he could get at his wood. I drilled a couple 2x4's into the side of his house then drilled a bunch of 5/8ths holes in them to hold PVC tubes which arc into the ground. I stacked a few cords under there then threw a tarp over and anchored it by tying it to rocks. Its still there since last October. I am real proud of myself for that one. Poor old guy trying to chisel his firewood out from the ice, that's not good.
He gave a Mexican Strat awhile ago. I had to scrape the hardened mouse crap off of it and disinfect it but I got some Slinkies on it and have been making my wife think about a divorce beating the living crap out of Rush's " Working Man". My boy Peabody huh? He used to have a cat that shared the food bowl with the mice. He just don't give a **** but ******* if that drive ain't clear by daybreak.
Anyway, I have been trying to get on the gay sex line but it seems that Jeff is keeping the line busy.

Torrey's really do not need much pruning, if any at all,
They should be monitored and pruning is usually end weight reduction,, too many look lion tailed and you can see the failure before it happens,,

Oh yeah. Lots of money to be made off a storm this size. First 24 hours will be just trying to keep up with it. Next 48 hours will be the clean up.
There was a lot of dead in this one thanks to the bark beetles (so I was told by some of the crew). The only pest I saw were termites, and the tree having to compete with development and several trees in close proximity. I really hope it recovers; I love those pines.
Finished cleaning the dead from the Torrey, then we removed and stumped a Liquidambar, then it was back to the yard for much needed saw maintenance. Pretty easy day.
Exactly, this will be a $six figure storm no problem for any decent sized contractor.

Did a nice job today and scored some loot. Picked up a couple more small jobs to do whenever I can.
Got a bunch of ups shipments in today. The most awaited was a little monocular from Ben Meadows. I needed to add one to my gear kit for those times you need to KNOW where the tip in point is and how secure it is.
