    Treework - Santa clara - Slowmo

    consider putting your chain break on between cuts an putting two hands on the saw at all times , get some formal training, you will live much longer, but at least you have the jam to try, your sawmanship is pretty much non existant

    Climber was stealing from me.

    Dont waste your energy just keep on working, never talk to him again, snitches get stitches if you ever see him smash him in the face your lucky he didnt start his own biz legit and hurt you in the wallet even worse, this biz is just as cutthroat as any this here is the best advice so far
