Thanks Jeff couldnt of done it without you. I'll see you feed your tortoise if you feed it a medium sized animal and your tortoise is unusually aggressive, and drunk.

Thanks Devon. I used a iPhone app called splice. You can add music through YouTube and it likely sounds better.

I was approached by an acquaintance who just bought a house and has a big windbreak row of half dead poplars. Won't be for a few weeks but that's fine cause I'm busy for a few. Should be a 3-4 day deal. Easy and fun, they'll have to come down in small pieces because they are between houses but there is plenty of room to bomb 2-3' pieces. Makes me nervous to rig out of dead trees, especially poplar. Little bites...
Also collected $2500 from a few wrapped up odd jobs. Paperwork for uncle Sam.... Blah

Did an oak over fence and fancy garden so had to hand bomb it all down. Still gettin used to trying to balance on spurs. Gettin better though.
Was only getting little bitty jobs, got a couple decent sized ones in the last week and some of there neighbors want jobs done too when im done. Right now more work than time. Feels good

It's good to have the work but I always feel like I'm letting the client down if I can't be there right away. I got swamped Memorial Day with calls and I'm just about under control. No complaints though, unemployment sucks worse.

Finishing up dropping 8 trees mostly maples around 20" dbh. Got an 85' pine to take down next weekend. I'm starting to book into August at this point. I had my brother-in-law working with me as my groundie, but I had to fire him. He got caught trying to steal my climbing equipment. I got a kid working with me when he's available. Other than that, I'm on my own. By the way, DON'T EVER HIRE FAMILY!!!!!!
Limbed up a 140 foot piss fir, was getting ready to rig the top out when the rain and wind picked up. Reluctantly came down and gonna finish the removal tomorrow. I'll post a pic when I figure out how to load it from the phone.
Really wish I didn't have to climb up that sob again. Then again, I get to do what I love

Better tO pass it and dream about a new saw then sell all the one u got to foot the insurance bill cuz u couldnt handle it
I always want to get the jobs done as fast as they come in too. Did three storm damage jobs last week bid a fourth he thought it was a little much. Called me the other day said he had another plan but will keep me in mind I hope he's not having his son come over w ladder and saw that tree had some very dangerous limbs. No way to do with out wiping out something expensive.
