Dont cry, just do it
Worked on that pin oak today. Cut down a half rotten maple and cut up a tree that feel down in the last wind storm. Day went pretty good until. I could trim 2/3 of the tree from my bucket setup, so feeling kinda lazy, i thought if i just back in there i can get the rest and be outta here in like 20 mins. Then it happened. Started to back in and I was stuck. The ground seemed pretty soild there, guess not. Used the out riggers to jack the back wheels off the ground enough to get a small piece of plywood under the tires and spun my way back out to the pavement. Should have just used my first setup to set the rope and just get out of the bucket but i was being lazy. So my laziness caused me to have to climb the dang tree from the bottom up. I got my throw line on the crotch i wanted second throw, then i just had to hump it to the top. New employee got some good pics of me walking out on some limbs. What you think of the trim job? I do 90% removals.

Not bad, maybe lion's tailed a little on bottom and you left a stub in dead center canopy of both pictures.
Severe storms missed us by just a few miles. Wife was near there and saw a lot of cardboard boxes and stuff flying way up in the sky. 100 mph winds and some twisters reported. Damage reports still coming in.

I put plastic tanks in mine just recently. Its a dump truck so it wasn't that hard but the support pan for the rear tank was shot, they sent me some big straps I had to bend. I can see the extenders in yours, the job looks good but still be wary of crap getting in between the support pan and the tank and causing rust.

Exhausting day. 4 towns, 5 job sites, 3 jobs completed and one corporate check collected.
Gravy work is over. I have three big ass trees to put on the ground tomorrow.

The fellow hasn't done much pruning he says, asks for an opinion...a real experienced arborist gives him one and lard as s takes exception to it. Do me a favor, turn the bag around so the holes are in the back and keep it on full time.
Ya know OD didn't leave for a while cause he was intimidated by you and neither did I...it was more like what is done when people flee when someone has fa rted. Very much like it.

Oh Dave my bad I didn't realize that an experienced arborist responded to him , and why are you talking about OD for you trying to start static ..... Maybe you should focus on all the boxes that will be stuck in the trees LOL

Did you know they are exempt from Obamacare? I'm trying to find out where to sign up. Well, not really, I'm not into pruning 300 oak trees in the summer in an oak wilt infested area. I don't make flush cuts either so I don't imagine I would fit in well.

They have there own insurance through the church. Just like when they get married, the church gives them money for a house. If there house burns down, the church gives them money to help rebuild. They have to pay money into the church kinda like you gotta pay union dues if your in a union.

I will say this, I am covered up in more work than I can get to right now and I'm very enthused about the way the economy is shaping up this year. I haven't seen things heat up like this in my hood for three years. I haven't had this kind of work load since I traveled to the storms. Nice to have my people wait for me to get home. Had one property manager track me down in Alabama over the Summer and tell me she needed work in her complex but that she'd wait for me. She had someone come in and do a couple removals in my absence but went right back with me as soon as I came home.
Nice to be trusted in my town. To tell the truth, I have two friends who's sons are working for me now and both of them are telling me to take their children and teach them to climb and what I know... I consider that the ultimate compliment and trust.
I know I have #####ed about the moonlighting firemen but in all honesty, I met a fireman with his grandfather today and he told his grandfather to go with me and trust me. Said he would clean up the wood. You can't beat some of these Tulsa boys, I'll tell you.
Anyway, so good to be back home where people know my name and my word and trust me. There's no place like home.

Just sat down for my morning coffee and post coffee ritual and scanned through the first issue of ArbClimber Magazine which I received yesterday.
