I saw some very different folks out there too. I went to work though not mingle with natives :) How ever once you get a bit further north things seemed a bit more normal. It is a very different world though from Arkansas. I had fun though but, there were not many people like me there and a few noticed lol. I had bear spray 2 knives on my hip and a machete as well, so I suppose at least 4 of them knew how it would go down should they press the issue. Thankfully no nightly news was made "just sayin":surprised3:

Wait! What!? Bear spray!? Machete!? In public? And I'm nuts!!!???
 
I am trying to be positive and to look at it as a good thing.
We were bought by Brightview. They are the largest landscape and tree service in the world.
I am kinda sad, although, we will continue to work as normal for the next couple years as we transfer,
All employees are retained, I am grandfathered in, so it is like 17 years at Brightview.
I know I can be excited about this, but it will take a little time.

I guess I will tell you all now, it will be in the industry news soon.
I have been with Urban Tree Care for almost 17 year's, It was the best job with the best people.
As of September 1st, I no longer work for Urban.
Jeff :(

Its about time you laid down the steel.
Now to sit and dwell upon the throne of the usurped and count the riches you have fought for.

Transfer!?

You mean they are making you get a sex change!!!???
 
Get out now. Brightview/Brickman is horseshit cutting corners crap work. Low budgets and underbid jobs.

Worked as a sub for them doing PHC years back. Laughably low budgets and "managers" with no plant science background.
 
Yesterday I made a pedestal to hold my sons anvil.
I glued up, laminated and screwed together 2" x 6" and 2" x 8" to make a 2ft high "laminated log"
The Lil-man wants to try his hand at forge and foundry projects so I'm trying to accommodate.
So far it's cheaper than buying an x-box. Next I'll need to get some refractory(stove) brick and make a mini blast furnace.
