KInd of what I was thinking when I first saw this thread. What are we looking for here really is-"I cut down a tree for --- and we did lines after and then we did some groupies that were hanging around and..."

did some work on michelle pfieffers property here on the bc coast...talk about money...two big palaces, 3 million $ crushed gravel road going nowhere really... there was an area where they got that gravel from that was apparently going to become a motorcycle track and a skate park...had to sign a confidentiality report but they took months to pay us so I don't care about it...lots of other crews there working...one crew of guys would go and beat on the logs of the loghouse to give them that rustic look...

Not sure what the big deal is about saying you worked for someone who cares .I mean it not like you are giving away a actors location .I mean if actors , these hot shots think they are cool you cant even say that you worked for them .I never worked for anybody to special few ceos , bath and body works, jegs , longenbarger basket ,local beer dist owner .

Dropped a truck off at the president of Lo-Jack house once. Worked at the owner of a small airline service in Mass. The inventor of the bar code lives in town, but he has a cease and desist order against him for some reason? He has his own landing strip and car museum at his house with over 100 vehicles.

i have worked in a few cemetery's many many times. are you a tree worker? i find working in them a unique experience, and a lil uncomfortable. i have worked down in Philly at a cemetery that has frequent shootings and many gang members tons of dead babies and small children graves i did some sub work for a company that flipped there sweet azz crane in the cemetery:jawdrop: lots of large dead wood on some very old trees many fragile anti-targets so fer me its a unique experience.
PS. i cant stand the workers that wear the ugly coverall monkey suit's and stand around with shovels during the service:rant:

I have had a few celebs over the years. One comes to mind as the most interesting. For 6 or ? years Sam Wych, the coach of the Cinci Bengals lived in my town and I took care of their trees and gave firewood in exchange for some very good seats.

In 88 we went to the Stupid Bowl. Sam, being his usual personality, yelled at the crowd during one game when throwing snowballs on the field at the players "you don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati, behave yourself!" Caused bit of an uproar but can't help but agree with him. I was right next to him in stands but wasn't throwing any.

Couple of weeks later he banned a woman (I think it was Phyllis George) from the locker and got a lot of bad press. His wife Jane (gorgeous woman) went into the local rag and gave an interview in his defense. He then had a big interview with Sports Illustrated and I was actually up in a large Linden tree looking right into the living room while the interview was going on.

Here is a picture of the beautiful Linden in front of the house we still maintain. My boy is on the swing.

Yep, we loved Sam up here in Cleveland; especially a stadium full of drunken Browns fans shouting Sam--my, Sam-my. That was the good ole days before Art Modell sold us out. I wrote him a letter last week and told him if he came and got the current Browns team out of town all would be forgiven.
Cincinnati is one of my favorite towns,
