What pushes you ? Loving trees or disliking the repo man ? Cause that ****** can kiss my ass he can't take anything from me

Probably both. I really like doing tree work. Just feeling very over worked. Got alot of things I need to work on and I never seem to find time to do it. I really only need to work about 12 days a month to pay my bills.

Theoretically I only "need" to work 6/7 but somehow I always find my self working at least 16/17 more . Crazy

Yer using the wrong math. Try this:
You+ work+ til dead = having enough money to bury yerself.
See how it adds up now?
That's pretty much with everybody... cept the banker.
If you remember old Nails, he said something about it all being a game where you have to know to conserve energy and know when you will need it.
Don't have to worry about the repo man knocking on my door, all my shitz paid for. Maybe that's why some days I just feel like I should haul it all to the scrap yard?
Ha so true. I was hoping for this....
Me + No Kids + Wife that makes decent bank = EARLY RETIREMENT
We'll see, your math is probably better then mine tho.

Storm clean up in a old family cemetery ( not mine ) behind where a farmhouse once stood. Kinda neat place, had all the old silo's and the pig barns still standing but slowing falling down. Tree up rooted and fell knocking over the top of the stone i am resetting in the pic.

Finally got time today to line all my tree equipment up and take a picture.
Is your clam one of those narrow ones like only a foot?

The mini is only like a foot or so. The grapple on my truck on the larger side is probably about 18"-20" wide.

Looks good. How many people work for you, that looks like enough equipment to keep 5 or so guys working.Finally got time today to line all my tree equipment up and take a picture.

I think most tree guys do, it's the dead beat old Milwaukee meth head Craigslist guys that drive prices down.

Helped out the competition today. Brought the Crane out to help
it really makes me wonder wtf is up. They came with no ropes, no Climber, no chipper. I lately don't like helping other tree guys because they say can you bring the Crane to help put it on the ground: that's supposed to mean I BRING THE CRANE AND PUT IT ON GROUND instead I have to lift you on the roof because you can't get in the tree tell you to tie the butt of the log off so it doesn't hit the house, direct you on what cuts to make, when to undercut it, when not to, use my rope because you didn't bring one, eventually jump off the Crane to cut the wood so I can gtfoh! I might add well have done the job my self.
And to top or off they didn't need a Crane on the first place! They could have tied it off in 2 or 3 places, started cuttingand just lowered it down. Life.

Best not to be helping people like that, even if you are getting paid good. At some point they will F-up and you will be remembered as one of the guys that did it even if it was not your fault. Or you could be named in the law suit if something is damaged.Helped out the competition today. Brought the Crane out to helpit really makes me wonder wtf is up.

That was some damn good advice and well put. I had some clowns call me today I hadn't even heard from or seen around in the last four or five years. I really thought they were out of "business" or moved off or something. They were in some sort of situation and wanted me to send a couple of our guys with a bucket to where they were and bail them out. I just hung up on the *******.
What the hell would I tow it home with? I can't trust my 6 liter to make it all the way out there and back.
