In the new Baileys catalog they now sell the Boxer, 322d at $20,200.00. It can make your problems go away. Well at least some of them.

If I had that kind of money I would buy a gun and rent a bullet but yer funny just the same.

I don't even own this machine, this Bobcat. I have been going through all this because I am bored, somehow I am deriving pleasure from it, a weird sort of satisfaction. I guess I could explain it but I can't.

I could bail on the Bobcat deal but its just to much fun to watch.

You use a non locking latch hook to lift personnel with and you will be in violation of OSHA regs.

But what do you care?

Them there Shur-Loc hooks are too safe n funky for real men, huh?

Jo, we get it, thanks.

Where is that video of the bicycle you made for climbing trees?

Lost a job from a **** I have been patronizing for 10 years and she's been paying. She told me she had given me plenty of chances to lower my price on this job, I was like, " Oh, I didn't catch on, my bad"

Told me her neighbor told her to try this other tree guy who will do the job for half of my price, I said, " No ****, really?"

Asked me if I was going to still plow her drive, I said, " I don't know"

She went on and on, I said, " Say goodbye Phyllis"

I thought it was pretty damn interesting.

 

[jomoco]

Nah Dr. Pro,

It gets real interesting when you strap a remotely controlled powered rope spool to the base of the tree like a Hobbs device, run the rope up the tree to a pulley, then back to the ground where I attach to it like a true spider. Push my remote control toggle one way, I go up, the other way, I go down. No trailing ropes below me. My ability to redirect limited only by the number of pullies I carry.

Push button laziness, for old orthopedically challenged climbers!

All this back and forth sounds like the chainsaw guys arguing over what's the best 2 stroke oil to use

Wouldn't be easier and cheaper to hire a Mexican?

If you run Stihl then you use Stihl oil, if you run Husky you use Husky oil, if you run both it doesn't matter as long as its one or the other. What's to argue about?

I use Lucas semi-synthetic 32:1

 

[no tree to big]

U know what Im going to go hang my ****ing 165 pound ball from the mother ****ing gate and show how that ***** hangs just fine

 

[no tree to big]

And after that Im going to go make a pick and hang the whole rigging off the gate and see what happens!

 

[jomoco]

Which tree company will go full on green first?

CNG trucks, buckets and chippers?

If refuse corps can do it?

The tree industry can too.

Yuh hear me Jeff? Then you'll nab the plush airport contracts, and the port district, the zoo n sea world!

California dreamin....

He has tender knees so he has to keep them protected.

What an awesome job we're starting today. I've got a ton spruce and hemlock trees to flop, drag around and stuff in the chipper with the tractor, and a ball field to process them in (not to mention the rest of the job). Should be sweet. Got everything out there but the truck and chipper yesterday. All saws sharp (including the three 372's), new blades in the chipper.... and instead of going all the way across town, I have a huge chip dump three country roads over and only about ten mins away (nice fall colors too). Should be a good day.

I have settlement in 2 hrs for our new house. Then I gotta go bust my ass to try and pay for it.
Here is a picture of what the sunsets at our new house look like.
