I'm always down for some heavy work but I'm not getting my expectations up. Saws and trucks are as ready as they'll ever be and they'll go if needed but I ain't gonna get all torqued up o'er nothin.

Hey for once I actually agree with you, you don't need it but I'm going to give you advice again, do it for someone else that cares about you. (Not me of course). Oh and don't bother with those PSA tests either.
One more thought before I can't edit any longer. Make sure you have a cheap term life insurance policy and save yourself a whole lot of time doing stopper knots and such. Work hard, go high and fast, maximizing your earnings, this way you may avoid some long excruciatingly painful and debilitation illness that takes your whole family into bankruptcy and leaves nothing.

Yeah, but a bit of "preventative maintenance" for a piece of equipment can keep the relic ticking along.
To get debt free I need to stay healthy and be climbing trees into my '80s.

You better build pontoons on to your bucket truck sounds like its gonna be nasty.
Heck no. I hoping to outlive all you buggers and be posting on this forum when I'm 100 (give or take a couple of years either way). Mebbe change the company name in a few more decades to The Incontinent Arborist Inc.

Yea , doing tree pruning from a John boat
They're talking big #### about these storms. Hearing alot about how bad winter is going to be too. I'm not believing it till I see it, if it does come I'll take as much tree work and snow plowing as I can get. Bring it weather guessers!!!!!!
I do feel good that we got that dead Oak that was hanging over my house down finally yesterday though:msp_biggrin:

Visited my Bandit dealer this afternoon. They sold 3 chippers today, and every chipper in their rental fleet is gone for no less than a week. IMO that's a lot of money to spend on the chance that we could get damage.
I'm not stressing over this storm. There's never gonna be another last October.. that thing was once in a lifetime. Not feeling a little wind and rain.
Got a nice one going on all weekend. Some major visability. Flomping (murphing) trees in an open parking lot. Winching, chipping, tractor feeding.. should keep me out of trouble. Job has to be done while lot is empty (weekend). They found their man on this deal!! Lol. Heeyaah!!
Wonder if anything is gonna blow up!!

Well can't believe the insurance company was including this on the claim but they gave us the go ahead to remove the stump.....whole stump! This was from a big Ash tree that had blown over in June and took out half of their boat house. So 5 months later they decided it was included. There was no way of getting the grinder close as there was a 3' separation from the edge to the stump. Plus there are 3 massive rocks that the roots had grown around. We cut all the roots with the recip saw and pick. Flipped it over a few times to get it up with the bobcat. We couldn't get anything else bigger in there as the septic was causing that road block. All in all good day $ wise as the insurance was paying for this one!
