    Neurodiversity thread

    I have more posts to read. Got to go to work. Btw, I scored pretty low overall and very way lower than the threshold for autistic traits to be considered autistic on a Raads-r test taken by the aforementioned someone in my circle who is definitely Audhd and autistic. Everyone has some...

    That could be a learning disability that falls under the large neurodiversity umbrella. @Bart did you only tell him? Use call and respond? Demo it first? Monotropism, and other common aspects...

    Paying for referrals

    Is this for a 'typical', small owner- operator plant/ prune/ removal/ grind arborist operation? Specialty services? How much work are you trying to generate?

    Paying for referrals

    Big truck signs, a basic website and stellar work makes for a lot of advertising. Your local Nextdoor and local area Facebook groups can be great target marketing. New areas take time to break into. When people are stoked as we leave, thanking us for everthing, if I'm trying to get any...

    Neurodiversity thread

    Often, people WANT to help. That's been my overwhelming experience. Some people seem to have a hard time listening to what is helpful. Once, I told two guys to move everthing next to the chip truck on a big rigging job (where one guy wanted to help so he hit me with a rigged log by sneaking...

    Neurodiversity thread

    That's helpful. Do the medications, therapies/ skill development and lifestyle changes that lead to improved function have any effects, if only placebo, from your view? Consider that a lot of ND people have some trauma. I have a difficult time understanding negative-framing and...

    If issued an itemized receipt, I think.

    TCIA Tailgate Safety Manual.

    Yes and No. A lot of safety measures/ safety culture reduce the likelihood of something hitting something against their head. Call and Respond reduces Struck-by's, the leading cause of death since they beat the Don't Get Electrocuted book so hard. Electrocutions went down. Struck-by's didn't go...

    Latest helmet comms

    Muting the mic would be a super great feature. Obviously, covering one's microphone is plenty possible. Having the habit of clicking the mic in/ out would avoid an employee starting a loud conversation with a customer in the distance and right in my ear while I'm in the middle of something...

    Neurodiversity thread

    How many autistic people and neurodiversity people do you work with? Do you know about verbal language accessibility/ inaccessibility for ND people? Hearing ,"It's not the thing" is hard for me to clearly and inambiguously understand what thing they are not talking about. If you don't...

    Neurodiversity thread

    Mick, I've had a bunch of good employees. They generally have understood chain of command, protocols, safety procedures, can absorb training, etc. A guy went from my crew to a HotShot Wildfire firefighting crew (federal gov't job that's hard to get). One guy owns his own company, locally. He...

    Hydrophobic soil

    Side note: I soak my mulch in the wheelbarrow when planting if it's dry.

    San Jose aerial rescue

    Have your own SRS system and self-rescue at the first sign of a problem. I do 99% of cutting on SRS. My rope never needs to move. It could have a 1000 pound log pinning it, and it wouldn't affect bailing out. Most trees can be bailed from in a few seconds. I had a climber feel iffy...

    Video removed, no longer relevant

    Great! Chaps at the chipper at the end, less than ideal, better than no leg pro. People say dollars then people. Personal safety/ health is way more important than property damage. The military/ gov't talks about billions of dollars first, then the lives lost, without mention of shattered...

    Neurodiversity thread

    @evo didn't you start a thread? I can't find it. Olympia is a powerful magnet for neurodiversity. ADHDers, AudhDHDers, autistics flock to The Evergreen State College. Many stayed in Olympia, since the late 1960 or early 70s increasing the genetic pool, to my unconfirmed reasoning. I'm...

    Am I going a little overboard with this?

    Respirators are your friend.
