2day...
jeez... where to begin?... hope you all are doing alright... last week we got socked in everyday so i did all chippys TLC... zerks, blades, swapped out the anvil, oil, filters, etc... worked on saws... inspections, dressed bars, replaced a few short recoils, cleaned, and sharpened... this week i been attacking the last of the fruits and nuts....pomegranate, fig, cherry, peach, plum, pear, apricot, almonds etc... only got 4 more apples in the mountains next week... this morning did 6 pistachios then went to elevate a monster mulberry at this old guys house... i normally hate working for him cuz he has a permanent case of the walking farts.... but today he did not bother me... he came out and dragged some small brush while i was chippin away... normally i would never allow that but i wanted to make the old bird feel useful... the guy is in his late 80s with shaking hands and he looks like he is always holding back a piss and hauling around a boat load of dung in his trousers.... after we finished i thanked him and he gave me 3 bags of oranges.... i stopped by a clients house on my way home and gave her a bag... she was thrilled and gave me 14 strawberries in pots for the garden.... then i stopped by another clients house to get rid of the second bag... old ladies go wild over that kinda thing... anyway i gave her the oranges and got a bag of gladiola bulbs in return.... i got home with 2 checks, a fat bag of oranges, a flat of strawberries, and flowers.... not a bad day....
