Uhhh, you left your wife to marry that handsome stud you met at the gay bar?

You finally feel comfortable with yourself to wear panties to work?

You went to a half price shoe sale and came across a pair of pumps to die for?

Now don't get mad at me, this is what happens when you let me to speculate.

I spent all day pick-pruning a buxus hedge with a buddy/client, some parts were reduced 5 inches, some 3 inches. They started at 25 inches tall...did i mention that i am 81 inches tall?

Some one come here and crack my back!

Sounds like you need a Ma Roller.

I just called to schedule a job, the client says there a couple other guys over there building scaffolding to work on the chimney and other projects. He said I could sqeek in but I told him out of professional curtousey and safety concerns it would be best to wait til they were done before I came in. That's SOP.
I am reminded of the time this lady scheduled two different tree services on the same day. Yeah, and they say I'm nuts.
Anyway, its not like that this time but I don't need to account for the chimney dude to get curious and walk blindly into the DZ which has happened before. Plus, its their turf now, let them do their thing without my chipper blasting them into madness.

I belong in the 101 section but today I was pretty dam profesional.

I did a fat limby 60 foot oak with the cane pulling picks from me. Only my second crane job and only around 20th tree ever. Only been climbing for three months but today I must say I rocked it. My Boss said great job and that he can't believe how fast I am progressing.

I feel stoaked! Today was friggen awesome.

Almost forgot I was climbing up over this crotch with a big cavity and as I put my head over the hole a big ass raccoon lunged out towards me growling. Scared the crap out of me and I just laid way back on my line. I cut the limbs above it and it stayed at the bottom. then when the crane picked that section of log she poked her head out like " wheres my house going" ran away once on the ground. found 4 babies deep inside one got hit by the saw and we put the rest in a little nest we built in an old wood pile. If the mom ever comes back for them. Their prolly cat food by now.

Who on earth would let you do a crane job with twenty climbs in?? Much less your SECOND one??!!Your boss is dumb and greedy and not concerned about your safety or you're a troll

I've been working for him for two years and done countless tree and crane jobs from the bucket. He and I are confident in my abilities and judgment. I see you point though. And my first cane job last week was three pics. that included one for the log, real easy.

I just got off the phone with my medical doctor. I have so many doctors its hard to tell them apart but he told me that judging from the MRI I took on Monday I need to have knee surgery. YAY!

Of course he told me not to be working.:msp_scared:

That sucks dan! Sorry to hear that.

I screwed up my right forearm a few weeks ago. not sure if I tore something, or maybe fractured it somehow. Was just climbing trees like I usually do, - after three months of doing nothing, pretty much! I've been putting a wrap on it for the last few days finally and the swelling is almost gone.

Getting older really bites!

 

[treevet]

I'd get a second opinion Danno.

Sometimes they just want to practice.

Here's a funny vid I just ran across thought might be entertaining. Has nothin to do with anything but here it is.....

I've been getting opinions for my throbbing knee for 20 years.

Now I am not sure you guys understand what all I said in that last statement but I will be more than happy to go further in depth if you would like.

 

[treevet]

yeah, tell more more.

I busted up my knee in football. Got hit sideways while a spike was stuck in the ground. Used to have it drained all the time.

Going out now to bid one.....later.

Well that's just cause yer a #####.

Some advice:
stop being a #####

Allright, seriously:

Wrap up your arms while you are sleeping. Something that keeps everything straight and allows optimum blood flow. Start your day out slow and stretch.

I have seen the biggest toughest man complain about the pain... especially when they do tree work.

Thanks for the tip treemanpam!

I also have a bone chip about the size of a pea that just surfaced in my left elbow. Been bothering for probably ten years or so. Now that it's finally right there, I'm kinda tempted to get some whiskey and try hacking it out with a razor blade.

You think that's a good plan?

No.

But that reminds me of a story:

After my wife gave birth to our daughter we were at home resting for a few days. During labor I had seen some things I kinda wish I hadn't but I got over it. Anyway, while we were hanging out with our baby my wife told me she kinda felt that something was still inside her and there was a nasty odor coming from her vagina. I started to get real scared.
So I took a look, it was a wad of gauze the doctor had left in there. I thought for a second about what to do then went running down to the toolbox and grabbed the longest set of needle nose pliers I had. I poured some alcohol on them to clean them up a bit before the surgery and I was thinking how happy my wife would be when I solved the problem. Boy was I wrong! But I persisted a little longer telling her that it would be OK.
Anyway we went back to the doctor and it was handled under, umm, more sterile conditions which made us both happy and when TreeCo chimes in with a snide remark about my wife's vagina I am not gonna let that bother me either. We all are making leaps and bounds here at Arboristsitedotcom ! Allright, I'm off to see my shrink. I won't tell her about how I told the story of my wife's stinking ##### on an internet forum but I will tell her about why it took me 20 years to get a confirmed diagnosis on my bum knee. I just hope it don't take another 20 years to schedule the surgery. ya feel me broski?
