Had my pickups lettered yesterday. I have been using the same company for years, they do all my printing and cards as well. Well..... not anymore. Seems they are getting to big for da britches. She got about half of it right. Speyellled Arborist, ABORISTS, added a S to the end of Specialist. Used a color green that she thought would look nicer than the one I picked. Put my website in my back door windows in chrome? Plus they are not straight! All kinds of little BS that should not have happened. Oh well, dude that mowed my moms yard for me, his dad owns a shop, so going to try him out on the bucket truck. Glad I only had the pickups done. Would have sucked to pull off all that. Called her, and she has attitude!!! And we went over dis **** many times! OK, we be done witchu.
Going out on a hi-end prune. Love this hood, every time I go there. I leave with 4 or 5 more jobs just like it. Badass place tho, beee yuut tifal homes. All but one person has lawncare and landscrapers do their yard. All big wigs up in dis beyatch, cept one. Probably the biggest wig in da hood............... does his own, and it looks like hell,LOL. They gotta hate it, the neighbors, they spend all this money on making their place look like a park, then this A-hole goes and mow's his with the mower on the lowest setting when the grass is like a foot high, then leaves all the hay rows out there in the yard, blows it out in the street and never trims, has trees growing up around his mail box to the point you cant see around a corner. I would hate to live next door to this guy!

Had a crappy day Saturday.
Brake like broke on bucket truck so I had to get it towed. Went to go grind stumps. Chain link moved while tightening the load binders and smashed my finger real good between the binder and grinder. First 8 stumps went good then hit a crap load of rocks. Thought I was at a quarry. Got to the 4 th job. Guy knew I was coming but didn't move any of his crap for me and left a 5' high stump. Said f it. Moved what I had to and ground the 5' stump without cutting it down. Went to change postions and rolled the track off of the grinder on a stump I didn't see in the pacasandra.

I gotta go out to this guys house this morning and explain to him that the chips I dumped for him last week are not on fire! He called yesterday all frantic saying I gotta come move them cause they're smoldering. I tried telling him there not, he said maybe I should call the fire dept, I said do what ya gotta! I hate morons, think Im gonna take him off my customer list.

So far nothing good to report... finished a little job yesterday morning, then ran equipment around and made a run to the dump with some junk that's been sitting at my yard for far too long. Ran into one of the guys at my yard who tells me that quite a few guys right now are complaining about not having work. I know my list is short, to non-existent. One of my clients called yesterday afternoon about some branches he thinks are interfering with his satelite dish, so I'm gonna head over there soon to get them out of his way. Sure hope things pick up soon, I've never seen it like this before.

Towing buckets, smoldering chip piles, poison ivy on the yam sack, indignant graphic designers who don't check their work and is Blakes really pruning hedges!??
All in a beautiful day for us aborists and even the spellchecker on here told me I spelt arborist wrong.
I went up to hit the wood pile this morning but the crack of thunder drove me back down soes I wershed mah chipper in a thunderstorm. Then I came in and watched some of Jeff's training videos. This one is on hitch pins.

Then I went to pick my chitlin up from school. On our way out I saw a big puddle and told my chitlin I wanted to drive through it, she said " DO IT DAD!" So I did. I stopped in the middle of it soes everybody could get a real good look at what an ####### I am then popped it into low loc and slung mud all over everybody's cars. We left out of there sideways leaving a trail of mud all the way down the road. I probably should have waited to do this tomorrow as that is actually the last day of school and I am sure I will hear about it but the puddle might not be there tomorrow and, possibly, neither will we so don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today. That is actually gonna be my defense when the school marms come after me.

I imagine fetching and installing a brake line on that truck woulda been a whole lot cheaper than a tow.

Dont cry, just do it
The tow was only $275. I dont have time nor the patients to do brake lines. The other problem was that i was blocking a lane on a main road. I have a few other things that i been meaning to fix on the bucket truck, and since i have been so busy, i thought i would just have them fix them and i dont have to worry about it.

Went to do that pruning job for my customer, which was supposed to be a quick deal, just a couple branches for the satelite dish. Get there, all pole clipper work, guy was happy. After we finished the pole clipper work guy asks if I can recover one of his irrigation heads that was lost in a nasty mess of bittersweet. So I spent a solid half hour on my hands and knees with loppers trying to cut about 4' into this nasty mess, because the guy doesn't want to lose the entire thing, but wants the sprinkler hitting his lawn. Had to turn the heads on a few times to get the full range back, it just sucked. Gotta go back one day next week for some dead branches over the roof of the garage... better than nothing I guess??
Met with this woman we are working for tomorrow, on the way there I decided to make a stop at a guy's house about 1000 feet up the road. I've dumped wood and chips there in the past, but he was old and I haven't seen anything going on there in the last year or two. So I rang the bell at his house, we'll be dumping all the chips there tomorrow, and some of the wood. Much better than the 5+ miles each way that I had planned on.

Yup, support your local business's,,,
Anyone can change the oil, change a tire, but to run a business you need community support.

Did the prune job, was in the ash tree and slipped, twisted the **** out of my knee, keep going, get up into one of the birches, clearing it from the house and I twist around to hit a section, pulled something in my hip, not sure what I did, but it hurts like hell right now. Was going to prune a locust today, lots of space climbing, but now, I think its a good day for the boys to split wood and I'll sit here and complain!
Seen at Lowes that they sell cherry chips for smoking for 6 bucks a bag!, bag is about the size of a bag of flower...........hmmmmmmmm, I gotz me lots and lots of cherry.......

Ash aren't very user friendly especially without spikes and it always has amazed me when a guy thinks he is being "manly" by going to Home Depot and buying a bag of chips.

Yeah well if they had service yes but many times now you hear all sorts of malarky why they can't do ####. For instance had a flat front on my bucket a month ago not one tire service would fix it! I ended up taking it off myself with a cheeter pipe and 4 way then carried it in they installed a new tube which I usually do alone ,then would not air it over 30 lbs. I asked if they were a tire shop or what lol, young kid says well it is a split ring, I said yeah so you chicken or what ? Anyway I aired it myself sheesh :monkey:

At seven 0 five my wife told me it was time to get up, I said, " #### you #####, I'll divorce you right now!" Then limped out of bed with my knee throbbing worse than my left testicle.
I vacuumed and mopped the filth from my basement hovel then picked up my chitlin at 11. We went to lunch then the lyberry then picked up one of her girlfriends, her 11 year old brother and went to the pool where they proceeded to flail and bludgeon me, leaving me no recourse but to fight back.
I took a high dive off the board and managed to ballflop so that wasn't to good. Tomorrow we are gonna go biking or maybe put the canoe in and see if I can really hurt one of these damn bastards for real.
Other than that I am pretty busy with work although this week I am babykilling... uh, I mean sitting.
I have been taking the chitlin rearing advice given to me by the 84 year old Italian lady around the corner. When the chitlins start complaining about brushing their teeth, picking up their clothes or going to college you just say , " Shut up yer going!" That and make sure the teenagers ain't got no alcohol.
