Today....

Sick! Living and working in disaster areas is tough, glad you had something else to focus on for a bit.

Someone told me pic or it didn’t happen, ha. Here’s me and Megatron.

It's obviously a bummer for all those people having to deal with damage, but I've always wanted to work a big storm event, lots of interesting problem solving. Haven't had the chance yet.

So I posted my view from this tree the other day, but the customer just sent me their photo which I thought was pretty cool:

Weird past two days of storm work. Finally a weekend off. Got absolutely lit up by yellow jackets today. A big Norway maple failed and the limb was hanging by a cable we had installed over an old historical home. My hand had four Yellowjackets stinging me through those thick atlas gloves and getting stung through pants, shirt and face. I sprinted down a steep hill, nearly off a 10’ drop to the front yard where they followed me. I stripped down to my underwear on a busy street as a few were caught under my shirt and pants. Was probably quite a site for passerby’s.

My son is working for a company here and got nailed with them today too.

This isn't "technically " from today but during the last storm we've been working through. One of my teammates took this shot.

There was a lot of that in Cedar Rapids too. Personally, I wouldn’t run any saw at night.

My dog, Cedar, insisted she accompany me this morning while I did estimates.

 

[oldoakman]

She looks content.

She loves her truck rides.

It doesn't get boring, that's for sure. Well, actually brush dragging does... And yah, I'm in that general area, a ways north up in the islands.
