I recall owning an 056 years ago. Somewhere on the road to and from, it slipped out and off the tailgate never to be seen again. I replaced it with a 066 and never missed it after that.

I'm following a controlled database of 23 recognized disease events occurring in North America. If you're not familiar with the mapped destruction crossing several economic species, you're apparently in an area of pristine health, an area I'm not at all familiar with but would certainly like to...

Maybe I've mistaken something. What are "arborist type pests"/? Pests aren't restricted by definition to insect. Influenza is a "pest". Know what causes lethal yellowing in palm? Considering "overwhelming majority", on that scale then you know what does? With this kind of...

I guess things have gone weird here. 056 'Kid', are you familiar with the rising occurance of disease epidemics in the last 25 years? I don't like metrics, but use them in the lab...there is no choice. Also find it difficult to loosen a 14mm alternator bracket mount bolt with a 9/16th's...

Never forget that the less you invest in and keep spotless equipment the more take home for the piggy bank. Imagry is important, but word of mouth is right up there too. The most productive ranches out here would scare Martha Stewart out of her panties. Now I have a Irish green chipper, a...

NE, yeah. I welded "sister" plates of 3/8th's alongside the existing frames and 1/4" channel on top to hold the bed frame which is now hinged and lifting. It is in essence now a 1-ton, except the front end only got new heavier coils. The bed sits .5 inch higher than standard pick-up, nobody...

Ditto on the wilt. Anyone who shows concern employs everything possible and most infected stands are apoptic from the variety of treatment choices prescribed. Terminal velocity increased, mad landowners, happy but gone contractors, and here I drive up facing a mentality that's so ignorant and...

Okay Nate. Is there any way to transfer the dialogue starting roughly six or seven or eight years ago that was posted on ISA and Doug Meoller's defunct site? Classic wilt education there. I'm getting alzheimer's sometimes, forget when. Skip to the plan now - slowing reproduction...

From a root-borne infection, yes. But an isolated infection from wounds will "flag" a limb or upwards. Amputation is effective if diligence is practiced. First item in wilt education is to ferret out information far beyond the State's recommendations. Official info is tainted in favor...

Yeah, Sikorsky Sky Crane in Monterey, Ca. on a (what they insisted was) a Port Orford Cedar, it was in a courtyard. It made Arbor Age magazine. I was the guy in fatigues with the radio (was attending Defense Language School in the evenings). Nothing was wrong with the tree, except being in the...

Getting some laughs about tree-people who have asked so many questions of each other to learn more then suddenly turning around and wanting to be silent about it. Reaks of WalMart gaining "social capital" by claiming everything they try to sell as "Made In America" then turning around and...

Non-competes are as valid as a "not responsible for accidents" clause. Both worthless as the document they are written on. Try it out, you'll be suprized. I haven't worked for another employer in trees since the 1970's. My contract work is always by invitation, never signed a single...

I was hoping I wasn't the last one left with that attitude. The fellows I learned the most from I'll always remember the best, were also the ones who treated me right, from employment to war to friends. The rest can live with whatever lives they manage. Boat?!?! That's still the goal...

I most cases, yes. Hazard trees over homes...my forte and equipped for it, the hacks w/ ladders and rental gear take advantage of the sticker shock from the big yellow page ad outfits, offer just a fraction less and get the work. I'll undercut it much better than that and do it safer, cleaner...

Indeed you're right Roger, but when involved in disease work beyond just diagnostics it goes into treatments that include how others are acting. One example is spreading disease, and they certainly do it here. So there is the impetus for my concerns regarding other businesses. They often...

Roger, it's treating a business like they've been acting. That's all. Think it best to roll-over and play dead? Down here, when faced against accepted tactic one has to dive a bit deeper and find tools they neither are expecting or know are available. Don't you have survival...

It sounds like you're just pressured and anxious. Hope you get some funding and purchase some abilities to compete, I'd go after his client base and work a few then let them decide if you will be successful or not. Smear and dominate competition by money whores is standard business practice...

City of Seattle's forester had some problems with die-offs a few years back. They had been asking about soil ammendments but I never got my hands on tissue. Might try to websearch them out. There are isolated Madrones in Texas elevations, here called the "naked lady" for the absense of bark.

Well that's maybe a little paranoid but I agree somewhat. Never underestimate an adversary, especially a lawyer and even more so when bucks are involved. Always have document ability, even just driving down the street or waiting in line for concert tickets. 9volt battery-powered...
