His name is Bill or as we call him (knucklehead), he got that name for a reason! This guy was rough on all equipment. He could destroy a brand new chipper, grinder , truck, etc. We were doing a job in the Bronx and I went to go pick up lunch. I left 3 guys at the job; Knucklehead, this guy Paul who is the best climber i have ever worked with and a Polish guy (Romek). Romek worked with me from day one, he was only 17 years old and he is a friend. I came back from a deli with lunch and I found my brand new 066M laying on the side walk all busted up. Above the side walk was a cliff about 40' high and knucklehead was working right above it. I asked what the hell happened to my saw, but no one knew anything. Romek told me later that night that Bill got mad that he grounded the saw and it would no longer cut good, so he threw the saw as far as he could and it cleared the cliff and broke into many pieces upon impact with the concrete side walk. I fired the guy the next morning and told him the customer was watching the job from his window in the building and saw the whole event. Bill was also in a bad mood because I found his stash of budwiser in the truck and hid it. He was unaware of that and had the nerve to ask me to pick him up one beer for lunch. I reminded him that drinking on the job was not permitted and if I caught him, he would be out of a job. I put up with this guy for 5 years until this happened. When he came back 2 weeks later asking for his job back, I told him no problem, just show up with a brand new 066 to replace the one he destroyed, I never heard from him again.
Dayummmmmmmmm. He must have been one orenry bas tard. Your a better man than me my friend. Id'a took the bar off that 066 and slapped him up side the head for doing such a thing. Ya know its always the samething, nobody knows what happen untill later on, don't that really tick ya off. Glad ya fired his ole ass. I woulda slapped him , then fired his butt. I bet he don't bust up saws anymore,haha..........
