I dont blatantly poke fun at people. I got an IM this morning saying they are throwing in a new throwball as well as a surprise. Ooops, they ruined the surprise.

So Sherrill does a monday give away on their facebook page. If you send in pics of gear you have broken they will send you a prize. I get a free hand splice tres cord outta this pic!!!:happybanana:

Tree climbing 101 with my chief financial officer today. I had to explain to her this morning that if she would have competed in the RMC ITCC we would be in Tampa right now. Look out next year.

I had a similar situation last week with some previously topped cottonwoods. I should have gotten pics. I pretty much told the home owner that I would suggest only taking out dead wood and stubs. If I was feeling honest that day I would have just told him to not touch them for about 3 years. I...

Yesterday was take your girlfriend to work day. She helped me cable a big elm, prune a box elder, prune two crab apples and crown reduction on 4 big apples they are still dormant. I almost feel like a real arborist again. Well, thats what I tell her any way.

Ding ding ding!!!! We got a winner folks!!! Learned that one in the Army. I dont know how many thousands of push ups I did that day we had a knots class.

I am contemplating whether or not to shake things up by showing the way I was taught to tie a bowline.;)

"There are few problems in life that cant be solved with a suitable application of high explosives." Who set the charges in that thing?????

Here is a pic of one of my home made door hangers.

Door hangers can be inexpensive. I make up my own and am very selective on who's door I hang one on. CraigsList is a good inexpensive advertiser. The only thing with CL is that you are competing with all the other hacks who are willing to "cut" home owner trees for money. Make your ad...

About the only good use for Arborplex is for a light natural crotch rigging line. Its cheap and fairly durable. It does tend to flatten out after you have loaded it a few times. Damn, I remember back in the day when it was the cats meow for climbing. This gettin old stuff sucks.

Am I the only one wondering why they didnt just climb the tree instead of setting up ladders? Oh and for what its worth, cats fit neatly into an empty rope bag. Keeps the little bastards from scratching the crap out of the rescuer. Just sayin.

Ever hear of the saying, "The sins of the father are the sins of the son" People are funny critters.

Maybe the guy is in recovery and is trying to make an amends. Just a thought.

I just really dig the sound track to this vid. Who is it? Its one of those catchy tunes that I find myself humming through out the day.

And then I see Juniors pics and think he flipped a crane. My PTSD therapist is gonna have a field day with this nonsense.

Thanks guys. My crappy day dont seem so crappy any more. I still gotta go buy a bar for my 192. The tip finally came apart. Sucks about your crane Oak. I have nightmares about that ****. Literal nightmares.

I swore that I would never buy a padded saddle, but I spent A LOT of time in the saddle last summer. I found a used Billy Cook roping saddle in a pawn shop.......Oh wait you said climbing saddle? I ride a Buckingham Glide Lite. Im actually looking for something with a little more padding in...

I got photo bombed by the other guys today. I started taking down two big spruce trees yesterday and when we showed back up this morning to finish up and another tree service were settin lines in the American Elm that I had been eyeballing all day yesterday.

5" snow today and forcasted high of 65 tomorrow. I wish Mother Nature and Old Man Winter would take their bi-polar meds
