Got one of 4 crews to go out today is this wicked stormy day. :msp_scared:
It was terrible! Maybe 1/2 inch of rain! Just terrible I tell you!:msp_w00t:
I took me almost 2 hours to go from Escondido to Mission Valley! :dizzy:
Life is hard out here in the west! :wink2:
BTW,,, It was a beautiful day!

I remember you told me I could never do your job, what a joke. I'd have all four crews workin in those sprinkles then vacuming out my truck at the end of the day.

Btw, is there one town down there with a english name. It is still america after all!
 
A fake bridge , has anyone noticed that the newest members on moonshiners are tree men ! I was enamered by that

That's the only reason i watch Moonshiners now. The one guy Josh climbed and toped tree on one of the shows, just for the camera i guess. I think they call themselves yard Busters. Most of the show is fake anyway

This post shows your ignorance.
I was not part of that crew and you still could not do what I do,, sorry.

First time using a bucket truck was today. Been doing tree work for quite a while and never operated one, although I have used towables.

Was a 60' Versalift. I was out of my element without the spurs.:msp_w00t:

Took a while to get used to the controls and the job took longer than hoped, but nothing got damaged and the tree is now woodchips and firewood.
 
Got my chipper back this morning :clap: bad wires on the back of the ignition. Met a friend with his bucket truck to top out a poplar, then chipped up 2 brush piles just in case it snows in the next few days. Did a little bit of dirt for one guy, have to get some more.
 
What a miserable day. Though I prayed for road closures, hwy 18 and 138 were open. So the new green groundy and I went up the hill to crest forest. It poured rain all the way up there. The only difference from here to there was 30 deg. Had 4 trees, three small easy ones and a large Cedar next to the house. Every cable, phone line, and service line ran under or was attached to the tree. It was so cold my hands went numb. At one point the rain let up and was replaced by slushy snow. I never realized how slippery a Cedar was when wet.
Really didn't make much headway. My ropes were so wet the gri gri and hitch was squeezing out cold water whenever I decended.(that ran down my jacket sleeve.)
Made pretty good progress after lunch, removing a lot of big dead limbs and thinning the longer tips some. I thought I'e finish the cedar, but the head flew off my polesaw(making it just a pole)and we never found it.
It had been getting progressively colder but I didn't notice tell I came out of the tree. I was wet to the bone and started freezing my a## off there on the ground. Finally I start the trip home, I got the heater going full blast. It's warm, I'm comfortable, I am in a warm meadow, then I open my eyes, its no meadow Its the shoulder of the the 210/215 interchange. That kept me awake for rest the trip home. I load up my stuff in my truck, I do a last second check, I don't have my wallet. What can you do? I am just so happy to be warm and at home.
 
Yeah, yesterday sucked, poured pretty freakin hard down here, my lot is flooded, we did our weekly safety and tailgates, cleaned the shop and sent them home.

if you go to moonshiners.com and look at the sponcers, he is listed.

Today...

Working on realigning the space/time continuum. It's been a rather time consuming, and challenging ordeal, but I think I'm getting closer. Oh yeah, and we're doing some more firewood out back.
 
I just got home after doing a estimate , while I was there I was in the house and saw on tv what happened in Connecticut , what an awful tragedy , I am not a very godly person , but I am gonna pray for them tonight .

That what kinda pos would do that? Having small kids it really is hard to grasp, and to think what these parents are going thru and have to go thru after this nightmare of a massacre. I know that's pretty close to Treepig and some of you others on here. Prayers for the families and other students involved. Watching it on CNN made me feel sick. Hug your kids hard tonight !!!
