Missed us and glad may be worse this year than last alot of unsettled weather this year and no winter here 114 degrees by may omg. Yeah little lions tailed but I've seen worse, easy to do too, it should grow back.

We have a high wind warning here right now, supposed to get over 100 km/h winds tonight and tomorrow morning! Here's to hoping!$$$$$

 

[deevo]

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.

Awesome, do you sleep? lol

 

[tree md]

Awesome, do you sleep? lol

Yep, I'll be in bed by 10 and up at daylight... That's how I do it when I'm busy...

I'm going to do some really cool #### tomorrow on some really big removals. I am kinda hesitant to post footage because I don't want my competition to see how I do it... Wish we had a secret forum...

Not to worry tho, I'll post some money shots.

Thinking about sending both of my prospect climbers up two trees at the same time and racing them both with my bigshot to see who can set the lines first... :yoyo:

BLUE POWER RANGER GO!

My wife was like" yer not gonna post that are you, you really are a child aren't you?


I told her children don't go to work in a 200 hundred dollar power ranger hat then I asked her if she wanted to do it while I wore it... she got up and left:msp_confused:

I went up to Penn Holo today looking for some Grizzly spliced Bee Line but all they had was straight spliced and it was only 8 mm. They did have another brand of stitch splice but yet again it was only 8 mm.
The boys up there told me most guys in the area don't like Grizzly and perfer 8mm, I guess I am not like most guys.

On the way out I took a look at the Kask, they gave me a " deal" on it so I bought it hoping the visor works out. I put it on in the store and prompty attacked the owner. I wasn't able to defeat him cause Red Ranger wouldn't put on his hat and power up. He said that I needed a haircut, I said my wife says the same, he said I should because that would make her happy and that was my job- to make my wife happy. I asked if if his wife asked him to stop hunting would he and that pretty much brought a halt to that particular part of the conversation. They tried to tell me it says in the Bible that men are supposed to have short hair. I asked where did it say that, he asked if I just didn't believe him, I said that I believed him but I think he was reading it wrong.

So then we cut through some HRC with a set of Felcos and then a bigger pair of loppers- just for the hell of it and once again proved he was wrong. And just because Grizzly splice was " cheaper " didn't mean it was sub standard by any stretch. I think Grizzly is a much better product than straight splice.





I mean , here on this well worn HRC the inner core and outer sheath have been removed to accomodate the splice where Grizzly retains everything.

And you want that in 8mm? ####!


More POWER to ya!

Here's to hoping you don't die brother!


100kmh, what is that like 2mph?:msp_biggrin:

 

[treemandan]

Yeah a little much outta that pin oak 2tree. Try to save some smaller inner branches on the bigger limbs and try not to cut to many larger limbs off the trunk. Sometimes to can just wittle a low hanging larger limb back a little bit to raise it.

 

[treemandan]

Think about keeping a close eye on both prospects and don't do anything else.

Nice lid Danno, but I think you look more like a Papa Smurf buddy!:msp_biggrin:

 

[swyman]

Bid a big brushy box elder, couple smaller ones to remove, talked a HO out of removing a nice Maple to lifting it up to clear roof on the house, a small cluster of dead white ash, and a Norway Spruce to drop at 3 locations. Winds gusting to 50mph tonight and my truck is 150 miles away and chipper is torn down...... Gonna be a great year! Gonna go to a antique gun collectors show tomorrow and try to sell my 1852 sharps carbine and a 1873 Springfield 45-70 trapdoor so I can get some extra cash to put down on a stump grinder.

I was hoping just to be able to buy a visor for my Petzl but its to old they say. I was thinking of trying to rig it but...

 

[tree md]

Can't keep much closer eye on them than if I'm shooting shot bags at both of them.

 

[no tree to big]

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.

well it still looks like a tree ya musta done somethin wrong :wink2:

your the one who put the little winch on the chipper right? well hows it work?

 

[treemandan]

Can't keep much closer eye on them than if I'm shooting shot bags at both of them.

Just don't get em worked up, you know, first day jitters, feeling to comfy, etc. Stay focused on the jobsite, mess around somewhere else.

 

[tree md]

They both climb. Haven't done any cutting yet, just setting lines but they both are OK at just climbing.

And ya better believe I'll be on both of their asses to set my lines in the right crotches. Two climbing lines and two bull ropes... How hard can that be.

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.

We're not all bad. - Lots of tree guys part-time as firemen as well.:msp_biggrin:

Glad to see things picking up for you and it's always nice to come home.:msp_thumbup:
