    My weekend ride

    No I bought a 911 Carrera 4S, had it shipped from Long Beach CA, it's 2013 I received it w/less than 7200 miles, the original build sheet said it was $142.5, I don't have kids part of the reason I can afford such a luxury.

    Anyone else climbing in the snow?

    Snow what snow, I live in Minnesota and it looks like April around here, as far as climbing in extreme cold try Carhartt they've got some gloves out there that are about $50 but they're really good.

    Does anybody have a serious disease or affliction from arboriculture?

    I might get one of these, not for big complicated removals but for almost any trim that saw seems as though it will fit the bill.

    Stihl 200t muffler bolts stripped

    For $300 or so they pulled and replaced the housing and piston, which is totally reasonable to me because I go to great lengths to have a running ms200t, I suggest red lock tight and Teflon tape to keep the bolts in w/o stripping them, check them occasionally. And keep extras on hand.

    Does anybody have a serious disease or affliction from arboriculture?

    Thank you, luckily I live in Minnesota the harsh winters prohibit the spread or lot of pathogens and really venomous arachnids like brown recluse and snakes.

    Cancellation Fee

    I agree, $400 is less than hour worth of my time, so if a company I'm working with lines up a bunch that's a full day.

    Cancellation Fee

    I've never had that happen, we wait til we have an accord w/the homeowner but we almost always get a go ahead because customers want the tree off the house ASAP.

    I disagree, don't jeopardize any other jobs you may potentially receive, but go over and bid on it, but bid it high enough you can recoup your losses from last time, around here unless your way off base w/your price you'll be the one doing the storm damage, most customers are not required to get...

    Cancellation Fee

    It's because of issues like this that some of companies I work with will have me start the job ASAP, so that customers are bound by contract seeing as we've all ready begun and they'd like it finished.

    If you have signed contract there's no reason you couldn't do the work, and take him to court if he refuses to pay, if litigation is your style.

    Sawdust In Pockets and Shoes

    I believe poison ivy secretes an oil, unless you're really susceptible to it by time you get home it's absorbed into the fabric of ones clothes, so unless your skin is really soft like your daughter's or you roll around in dirty laundry, most of us are pretty safe. Maybe best to put in the...

    Sawdust is uncomfortable it gets between you and your clothes and rubs you raw, I could care less if my clothes come clean.

    What do you do to pull yourself over the branch at the top?

    We wouldn't have to conserve so much if more were forward thinking. In 1960 we had about 180 million in this country, today 315 million. I've reduced my carbon footprint exponentially I live my life for myself, and since I've no progeny I feel I deserve fraction of resources they would have...

    What do you do to pull yourself over the branch at the top?

    It won't be a problem here, we have an abundance of trees, the city foresters have very little affect on what I do, I know my way around them. It's one of my assets.

    Does anybody have a serious disease or affliction from arboriculture?

    Thank you, I've never been a smoker but I hack awfully bad sometimes, I was afraid that being in close proximity to small engines or something was affecting me, if anyone else would like to weigh in I'm interested to know.
