Thanks Mike. I am truly blessed.

No money, but rich in other ways.

Skidded some beautiful Redwood logs today. Big heavy logs about 70 ft down in a very steep draw. Had to break out the rigging (blocks, straps, and tag lines) to get these fuckers out. Also bucked out the breaks in a good size chunk from an old growth win- fall. Managed to get a real nice 16 ft log with about 4200 board feet in it!

Rode my own hook today whilst operating it. Pretty fun. Total control

Great juxtaposition of your killer crane and the rusty rigging in the back of my $250, around the hood, beater pickup.
Awesome pics Steve, and the MCRS is looking good!

Can you do hot rods in that garage? That is some damn fine work.

Nope, we stick to stump grinders and wood chippers!

Beautiful job. Do you guys ever use two part epoxies instead of enamels or even urethanes? A long time ago my Dad and I used to restore 55-57 Chevy's and on one of them (a 57 Two-Ten) we used two part epoxy red oxide primer then covered with a two part epoxy colour coat (blue this was). Used on the body undersides, engine compartment, trunk, hood and trunk. It was so hard after a week curing that you couldn't scratch it with a nail unless you sharpened it. The most amazing coating. I often wonder why chipper and grinder manufacturers don't use stuff like this so equipment doesn't look like a rust bucket in two years (there was another thread somewhere on Buzz about spray on rust coatings and washing equipment . . . . )

Have used two part epoxy with lots of zink in it on a VW Beetle. My old job used it to paint cast iron engine blocks and such. Strong, hard, and the zink is anti corrosive to steel and iron, should there be a scrape.

We had a customer have a bit of problem with a hackberry tree. It was leaning where it would have hit their house and detached garage.

We used our recently acquired crane to get it down. I didn't get any pictures of the picks themselves as we were to busy working. We took it in two picks total after I had stabilized the trunk to the other upright one.

Figured I’d put some up instead of take them down

Planting season has begun finally. 67 in the ground this week, 9 short of our scheduled goal but it’s all good. Next weeks we have 3 days of planting and 3 of cutting.

Hell yeah! Way to take soil off that rootball and find the flare!!!
