If I can swing it with the company that has the job I will see what I can do. On this job I am subbing for a sub so I am low man on the totem pole but there is the potential for a few more sawmen. I will keep you posted and slayer as well.

Dave, the pics look fine. You could upload them to something like photobucket.com, copy and paste the image code in the text box here and they will show up.

Good to see you posting again. Whatever anyone might think or say, at least you are a real deal climber.
 
Sunday and thinking about you Matt. You may be happier and more comfortable than any of us. I'd like to think that is true. RIP to a real treeman.
 
Great guy to work with and to get a snoot full with. View attachment 229551

I was going through my pm's the other night and ran across a few from prentice 110 and had me laughing. I never pm'ed him back but they got me in a great mood so I finally was going to do it. Went to his bio to pm him and started reading through his stuff. I never came to this thread as I thought it was about a loader. Feel like such an arss. My sincere condolences to the misses and family. I was and am deeply saddened. Never got a.chance to talk to him but wished I did. To all who knew him, my prayers are with you. Seems the lord always takes the good ones.
 
This is your song, Matt!

In my tree...! (Pearl Jam)

Up here in my tree, yeah
Newspapers matter not to me, yeah
No more crowbars to my head, yeah
I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah

Wave to all my friends, yeah
They don't seem to notice me, no
All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes,
Up here so high I start to shake
Up here so high the sky I scrape
I'm so high I hold just one breath deep within my chest
Just like my innocence...

(Matt's down in his home)
(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)
(Matt's blue sky home)
(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)

I remember when, yeah
I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
It's growing up just like me, yeah
I'm so light the wind he shakes
I'm so high the sky I scrape
I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest
Sleep with innocence...

Up here so high the boughs they break
Up here so high the sky I scrape
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
Baby got it, still got it...! :heart:
