Been working off my rent at the horse farm, people think I am nuts, lots of tang in tight pants, ****ing horses following my chipper around, they seem to like the color and the noise doesn't bother them, broke my pole saw the other day on a job I charged to much for, the new Nerex is a ***** to splice, wife made me cut down a big ilex at our house today and told me that if I shaved she would sit on my face.
 
Mowed a tiny front yard, worked on some screwed up tiles in a yard, and joined my daughter for Field Day at her school.
 
Got up around 6 and watched TV with my kid til her mother took her to school around 8 then I drove the back roads picking up checks and talking to clients about absolutely nothing, got to the bank at 9 twenty one and forgot my account number but the same obsequious gay guy at the window knew it which makes me kinda nervous so then I went back home and loaded up some light implements and went and did some work for a few hours til I got hungry so I drove back home making a couple stops on the way and grabbed a set of chippers knives and went to an Indian buffet where I saw a big fat black lady skin a chickin bone in under a second then I went to the arbo store and got a new pole saw and a new blade and a new handsaw blade then went to the parts house and bought a 15 dollar K and N oil filter and changed the oil in my pick-up then Peabody called and it was time to mow the weeds up there so I went up there and hit a bunch of rocks for awhile then his neighbor told me she wanted me to put her on my schedule and was happy to see I wasn't pissed off this time but I really was( I was just pretending I wasn't, you know, the "use your illusion" type thing) then I came back home and changed the blades in my saws without bleeding and sucked down beer then went to look at a job where the lady told me her neighbor sued her for cutting a couple dead limbs off the tree on her side and poisoned her dog then I came home just as my wife and kid were coming back from the fair where my kid spent all her money obstinately trying to climb up a rope ladder, you know what ladder, the one you can't climb without tipping over.
 
Got a really annoying white pine pruning job to get out of the way today. Maybe another small one for a good customer that's been nagging me too. One good thing about having no skilled help (down to one tard) is I'm getting a lot of these jobs I hardly even wanna do out of my hair. Oh, and the Spanish guy never made the interview. Go figure. Got a potentially decent ground guy on the hook now. Gotta meet with him today maybe. We'll see.
 
Just a few more minutes then I will head out, I hope by this time traffic has died down, they closed another road, this one til December.
 
Planting some plicatas tomorrow for a screen. They're going where some trees got removed and ground. Also where I pulverized my fingers. Gotta bring loam and mulching in chips.
 
Client called me regarding a quote I did in October last year - small tree removal around some service wires to house. Apparently they had another–much cheaper–quote from July last year but can't get hold of the other company–I wonder why... So now they want me to match the other companies quote from July last year! It's only a couple of hours work.

Time to marinate 4lbs of pork ribs for tonights bbq.
