Wow Jeff, gated community, coveted whip cracker position with a prominent company. Sounds like the industry has been good to you. Next thing we know you will be talking about your 2 months paid vacation and the pilot license program you joined...

Finished up another tall fat white pine job. Each one was about 100'. Not too fat though, about 30" dbh. Had to limb them with the bucket and then come down, move the bucket, the srt up and rig the tops because of a cesspool. The last one I'm on we were luckily able to bomb the limbs and top. It grew like a double 'S' and had a lean. Not the best spar for negative rigging.

My poor chipper ate a few feet of winch cable and the hook today. Threw half a brand new blade (second job) through the chute. Damn new guy. Don't touch my ****ing winch, cuz you got no idea what you're doing yet. Great kid, awesome worker, but I shouldn't have overlooked protocol. Should've been clear that the winch was off limits right off. I was feeding tops with the tractor when he pulled it out. It pissed me off, but I saw him double check that it was locked again, so I didn't get off the machine to look (smart kid I said to myself). Can't be too careful with this stuff.. ever. Thankfully no serious damage to the machine, just a tiny chip in the paint by the chute elbow and a few goughes in the wheel/knife pockets. I never thought anything like that would happen here. Sigh. Think again. Just a tough day all around.
