That'll put a little pep in your step.

 

[ozzy42]

Yep. Not too shabby a month after Christmas.Most everything else I've been bidding on has been
either "Are you out of your mind?,or We'll let you do it in Feb.".

This month has sucked up to this point .I was twice as busy in Dec. Go figure :monkey:

"Are you out of your mind?,or We'll let you do it in Feb.".

Jeff, there are unique geographical features that funnel storms in that area. It is kind of an anomaly and strange. The same areas (high end) get smacked there year after year. And the same people with money keep building there because of the beauty of the landscape.

I live in alley central I have seen and worked on at least 30 tornado sites in less than twenty years all within twenty miles!

We had the triple threat yesterday, Rain/Ice/Snow, so aaaaagain, we stayed in. Firewood mountain is getting real big! Going to try and finish up a land clearing we got stuck on today, so damn slimy out and I am out of easy street trees, nothing but backyard or hard access stuff on the books. Have been waiting for it to get and stay cold. This 40 degree crap makes for a muddy mess.

Gotta keep up with the gime time. My wife is preparing for a 5k.

 

[millbilly]

I said the f word and I said it loud

I hate hitting things in trees but this took the cake. There wasn't a hint that this could be hiding inside

 

[tree md]

Ouch! that's going to leave a mark...

I was inspecting my boom today, and I found what looks like it might be a crack at the upper boom side of the knuckle. I am gonna have to call and have someone out to look at it before it flys again. I wired brushed it to see it better but I dont know. I marked what I think is a crack with green arrows. Also found that my pvc liner in my upper boom slide down towards the knuckle and I can get it to slide back up. Any ideas how to get it back up?
