Now,

So long story short I pulled ripped or destroyed muscles and or ligaments in my arm yesterday ....

I go to the immediate care today they refer me to a specialist, I call specialist they say sorry next appt avalible is Feb 7th....

Our work comp has a network of providers who seem to work at some of the busiest places in the state...
I can't move my arm it hurts to try and move it at all I have to move it with my other hand if I need to reposition it.

My question is am i stuck waiting on the orthopedic surgeon or since this is a work injury can I say **** this and just go into the ER where they might do something? Like is wc expecting me to seriously wait for 2 weeks?

Man I feel for you. I hate dealing with those people.
 
Did this fir today. Old guy who's property it's on was drinking at 8:00 am when we got there. By 1:00 he's trying to run the job, changes up where we can set the wood. I sat up in the tree for an hour while they hashed it all out. Guy wanted the wood to mill so he said to make them 17 ft. The crane could only pick up 10 ft pieces. Ended up limbing it useing the crane. The piece weight was only half without limbs. The limbs are like 30ft long. Use the crane as a false crouch to tie off limbs. Have to finish tomorrow.20170126_120656.jpg

As has been said by others, if you are in pain go to the ER. Don't wait!
 
I might not get paid for the job I just started, though then again, anything is possible. I am wondering if the guy had another heart attack in Fla or something. I contacted him a couple times, told him we were coming. This was after going over everything in the summer and this is client of ten years.

Old man Peabody fell off a ladder he drug down the steps changing a bulb, smacked concrete with the back of his head.


I gotta get some younger clients or quit.

This area is going through a boom and its been in the works for some time and I know little of it aside from it sure being a massive change. One thing is that ALL the old houses and building are been torn down, the old more historic prominent old dwellings of some prestige are being ground back into the dust from whence them came. And Ep Henry is sprawled for mile in it place.

We started and kept going on this guy's job, we ripped out hundreds of feet of garden fence and stake, overgrown with a few good years of vines and saplings, bamboo broken and leaning from across the creek. Filled the dump trailer with this nasty fence, dumped it up at the farm, the slippery goo that it is. I am glad I peppered the area and the ruts with chips before I started hauling in loads.

I finally got a shot off when that black Pit Bull Romeo charged at me. I mean for him to do that like he didn't know he would be yanked back by the cable? What a dumb ****ing dog. I fired right into the ground right as he thought he was in the middle of his routine, sent him back abashed, sitting, trembling as he watched me smirk and taunt.


Zeroed in my 20 dollar scope, it was the the one I had small enough for the .22, and taped a flashlite to it today also. These women tell me to shoot the raccoons in the rafters or the indoor riding arena and even in the actually stable barn. I would if they were low and not towards the roof or even walls. They are nuts.

I was thinking of just going to get some real deal traps, not the nice kind. I do have a humane trap and was thinking of taking it up as a hobby, you know, trapping. Its gotta be brutal. Any one interested in a hat?

My cousin has been very successful curbing the coyote & others with the old school real traps: it might be something for you to look into.

I was going to work up a story about how I was gonna kill these animals with extreme prejudice, but after these pictures I am not feeling it. I suppose I am dealing more with vermin than anything else but to kill a cute family of raccoons living in an old boat is going to break my heart. I am trying to muster up the courage to skin it though I really don't even want to touch the dirty ****ers. Groundhogs are nasty. I am no hunter, just an exterminator.

The 1st 2 in the pics were predators preying on helpless young livestock.

Coyotes have greatly changed our wildlife populations for the worst since being introduced by fox hunters for sport: those were the real perpetrators, but they are long since deceased.

When my father was a boy, they had coveys of Quail & Dove galore, but between coyotes, house cats, & fowl predators, both of those are all but extinct in our area. It's truly Sad these predators weren't better managed way back when.
 
Have-a-heart traps with Honey Buns for bait; rotate the honey buns out with sardines, if needed.

Fix a blanket to fit over the trap with an opening just big enough for the handle.

1. Catch the prey.
2. Cover the trap with the blanket.
3. Find an acceptable location many miles from your current location, & turn them free, Carefully.

FYI
Thick Welding gloves are easily bitten thru by an encouraged Raccoon.
 
The coyotes are beautiful and that bobcat is so cute and cuddly I want to be its friend. I do know if I could do that routinely.

But a little Sunday morning bush craft for me up at the homestead ranch/tennis court:

Got up there early, got the barrel stove roaring and cut material for the greenhouse - 8x12. Have to get better stakes to drive through the tennis court then it will be solid. Its made of Gorilla tape, PVC I found in the trash heap and an A-frame from an old swingset.

I am going to be growing tomatoes and marijuana with the emphasis of the marijuana.

Just heard from my client ala' MIA. He was in Barbadoes. Go figure. Check is in the mail.

Went to Dollar store, bought a set of Eberly's to add up receipts.
 
My wood is always top shelf but this mixture here is particularly 5 star.

If I may:

Osage
Hickory
Oak
Dogwood

BEHOLD!
 
That's funny cause I heard from Damo down the street that you burn shwag.


I was burning some schwag allright. I got it from this crap hole " smoke shop" in the next town, got a corncob pipe and this nasty bacco made me sick. This place was seedy as hell.
I went to the shop in our town, the " hipster" one, girl dyke says to me they don't have the real good pipe bacco cause it didn't come in so I said, " Then you don't have it?" She said that she did but not right then but they had the same crap the craphole had but she said its all the same so I said " So you don't have it!" She said they did but not right then.

I said I wanted to get some vanilla and cherry - dank and sweet - and didn't want plain old cut dried out bacco. She said, " Oh, you want pipe tobacco! Yeah, all we ever have is just that dried out crap, I don't even know where to get it."
 











Saved the two little cherries... again. He is always wanting to cut them down. And managed to yank a double row of that green 4 foot high garden fence out of there.
 
Just got in and burning that mixture, hands are a little froze, stayed below 30 but the sun came out. I got the little and big dead wood out of two oaks, about 3 hours picking my way through with a handsaw and polesaw. I ended up taking out a big heavy branch at the tip of one leader over the roof, it was about 6 to 7 inch. that one was alive at least, I had to cut two big dead ones which about put me in cardiac arrest. But it was nice going through the canopy with no chainsaw.

These were borough trees, big, old, dangerous as all get out. I took out a little more over the house, while this is no safe bet the codom at the base won't rip out it does take a good amount of weight off the leader pretty easily.

It did finally get cold and I have more oak deadwooding to do but tomorrow I am going to go over the Bobcat trailer and finish the greenhouse, maybe split so easy wood. I can get death smoke bombs at the hardware store where I am getting the plastic for the greenhouse, I am going to toss them in the boat and spray whatever comes out with lead.
