Went out plowing with a friend today. Got a call from the HOA that there's a tree down that I need to deal with when I get a chance. Did a bunch of driveways with my buddy. Get a call from another client, his snowblower is broken, can I get the driveway done... no problem, send a friend of mine over there on his way home. Get a call from this one whacko former client... I told her about 3 years ago that this one hickory tree over her house needed to go because it's dead... neighbors tree and all that. Got it on paper, yadda yadda yadda. Well she calls this afternoon, this morning with all the wind the thing went down on her roof... ok I'll head over tomorrow to help clean it up. She's got a roofer who is gonna clean it up... wish I could just burn her darn house down with all the crap she's put me through over the years.

Some of em can really wear you out :bang:
 
Just sat around with family and ate turkey and food today.. had entire family on both sides over (cooked 2 turkeys)..

Good day..

But.. left elbow is starting to give me pain.. not sure if it is arthritis or what (never had issues with it before).. Hopefully it will go away, if not gotta figure out how to deal with it. Not the first pain doing this work, but first time elbow has given me issues.
 
I got the guys set up for the week and my phone is on and I am staying home with the family for this week. I have been reading all the posts. I kinda like the one about how much money we are bringing in. I won't respond to that thread. The wraptor thread had continuosly made me eat more left over turkey ( wraptor is a bird), with gravy. I almost 'pm'd AA to help me hook up a Wii my kids got, ( too emberassed), I see Slayer has alot of time on his hands. I am wondering if TV has stock in the wraptor. Scott has been checking in at 4 am and his days start very cold but are looking up. A couple of new guys joined ( seem like smart-azz's), I am not even talk about the GRCS thread.

Enjoy lurking Jeff :D

Frankly, you wise man !!

The thread on how much we make is so difficult to discuss.. hardly worth typing. It is hardly relevant, and so different from state to state to province to city or country.

GRCS thread .. must have missed that one..

Wraptor -- nice toy but you really gotta go up a lot of tall trees to make it pay for itself -- if you have cash to spare and want another device in truck then go for it. On most of the trees in the east, realistically by the time you set it up likely a good climber would be up the tree. Maybe I am wrong here.. Furthermore our trees are not high enough to get tired climbing them for the most part. If you climb all day then can get tiring.. but setting up wraptor in each tree must take some time as well. Gotta see that closer to realistically see benefits.. but can not deny a nice toy.

Hope you got Wii figured out :D

I been working with my new bluetick coonhound.. so if I am not out working, now got a new job at homefront -- feeding, training, exercising.. that'll keep me busy for a bit I figure.

Hunted and fooled around in the woods most of the day today. Got a call on a job I got to go look at tomorrow. 3 prunes and a dead removal. Guy said he called another service but they didn't show up. Said he was home for the entire week for the holidays and was hoping he could find someone with an open shop and who is wanting to work... I told him I would be that man. :)

Hope your feeling better in the morning! I'm ready to work off all the food I've been eating the last 3 days! Make sure your saws are nice and warm and ready to rip!
