Do you really want to know?

Well, I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name.

First of all, my name isn't Dan, its Ben. I didn't intentionaly wish to mislead anyone, I just used that screen name because it was easy to remember. I guess I would change my screen name but I am to lazy and it has become sort of fun anyway... in a sick sort of way.
I , judging by my phony screen name, do tree work. I don't know why, I suppose I am sucker for punishment. It sucks for me cause I am pretty good at it and find it entertaining as hell for a lot of reasons. One day I will die, probably doing tree work.
I am married ( go figure) and its been a long time and I am amazed to find that I am not the only one who can take punishment. I don't mean to brag but the women, well they can't say no to me though for their sake I wish they would.
I have a 4 year old daughter who I have had for 4 years. I have been teaching her how to drive. She is doing pretty good but she gets a little exicted and doesn't always signal properly. Its a lot of work.
Sure, I burn the wood. I have a Garrison wood stove. Yes, it pollutes like an oil refinery but then again; What doesn't? I dare you to drink the water. I don't, I drink vodka. I used to smoke a good amount of pot but after my kid was born I realized I could go to jail for a long time if they found what was growing out there so I pretty much stopped.
I guess my hobbies would be all the things I stopped doing once my kid was born. Things like putting a kayak into a storm swollen creek, riding a biycyle down a ski slope, seeing just what kind a freak would come home with me... things like that, nothing special.
I am about to turn 40 and believe me when I say I NEVER thought I would live this long and kinda wished I hadn't. But I did and now I have to live with it. I have tried my damnedest but I just wouldn't die.
I had a dog a awhile ago, he was a bastard. I am glad I don't have another though my physical therapist gave me a bunny rabbit which my daughter seems to like. I kinda like the bunny too.
I have tons of tree work gear, nothing more than you would find on any other artisian's truck. I use Stihl cause that seems to work, if it didn't I would take it back and ask for something that did.
I have a couple of older Ford trucks ,wish I had a horse instead. Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Desoto; they are all junk to me. I just can't believe the entire world revolves around these things, its quite perplexing.

A prime example of CAD - the sig says it all. Had 3 saws when he found Arboristsite in Dec of '06, and added 4 saws in '07, and another in '08 and '09.

BEWARE the chainsaw forum, those of you who do not wish to become afflicted as Mark has been!

HeHe - just a little good natured ribbing there! There's a reason I don't list all my toys anymore. Sometimes it scares me!
