Be safe.
The same way the rest of us do, one branch at a time.
just hacked & chipped away dead thorny roadside scrub trying to make it look like landscape,, crew thought we'd find bodies or lost loot but just got sweat and scratches
Getting ready for the big snow. Expecting 12 inches + in my area. Wind and wet snow. Life is good.

I told the owner of the farm to get a minister's license and start a cult, give the disciples weed wackers and pitchforks and never pay a cent in taxes.
Snowing a little here now. It sounds like we're gonna get 22" or so (supposedly). Kinda looks it out there. That's alright, winter can do its little thing, I saw the change in the sun melting the snow yesterday, despite the cold. April's coming.
Check this one out!

Just finished a drug fueled 13 hour tour of cranking the rudder of the Power Wagon into and out of all manner of situations. Last push of the tour, up at Peabody's, broke a hydraulic line or something and that was that. Imagine the luck. But she is done! Mission complete!
It was a light deep snow but sleet on top made it tricky. You jam on the brake, give it gas and let off the brake enough to get moving but keep the wheels from spinning. Two footed driving. Truck got mud tires, it bucks like nuts when it breaks loose but if you do the traction control two footed thing you will make it. Got to lean hard on that brake to keep the wheels from spinning, real hard, it would surprise you, it works.
At the one place I got a couple beers out of the garage, I got some beers out of my office trailer, Sheila, Sheila Baby, the pants wearer of the Lesbians on Frog Hollow goes, " I have 3 questions: Am I going to have any lawn left after you're done? Where did you learn to drive like that? IPA or Lager?"
It wasn't so much the beers as it was everything else and it was smooth allright. None of that vein scraped feeling you get with some stuff. Sure, it keeps you going but you become a ghost rider, face gaunt, eyes blurred, shirt soaked with sweat, trying to catch the Devil's herd but ain't caught it yet. You know what I mean.
But none of that, just smooth like glass for the most part and the new road contract is going to bring in some tree work. All three client's have mentioned that they want to talk and some even have storm damage although the sleet was so cold it just bounced off of the trees and wires like ice cubes. A little warmer it would have layed and cause problems.
I bet I could nod for a couple hours and go back out but not only is the storm done so is the plow. I need a beer.

We were projected to get a foot of snow but ended up getting about 4". Then it turned to rain and flooded everywhere. Every driveway, yard, low road has turned into a skating rink since the temps plummeted. I'm going to set the bar to "don't fall on your tailbone" today.

Ok, here it is,
I have a lot of guys and this truck is great for hauling wood if needed. We can dump mulch free but we pay by the ton for wood,
2017 Ford F-550, 10' bed, all the bells and whistles,,

Nice looking truck Jeff. You get all the sweet toys.
Nice truck. Does it come with hitch pins?
I climbed as a sub for so many owners from 1978 to 2001,
I know so many owners and scammers and low-life greedy so called tree company's,,
I climbed for lot's of them before I decided to hang my hat here,
I chose a job that if the owner would let me do what I think and give me the equiptment and guy's. I would join,
That was 16 years ago,
Jeff, happy
Ass--! hahaha
