    1.6 B annual aid for Somalia is insaaaaane. That’s like half what Israel gets. Way too much. Everything else about this whatever to me. USA is and always will be a hodgepodge.

    I thought you had mistyped $20B instead of $20M. $20B? What planet?? If we fire enough Fed employees maybe we'll finally get someone to cook the books to show a good job report. Cause it ain't gonna happen due to economic policies! And remember, if any of you report unfavorably about the...

    The leaders of China Russia and N Korea are arm in arm at a communist military parade with weapons specifically designed to destroy the US… Meanwhile our administration has declared war against offshore windmills. :boxeador:

    Broken man, extreme burnout

    The hamster wheel, no matter what trade you’re in, is getting less and less appealing when the economy just doesn’t work for most people anymore. They say there’s a problem with general malaise in the work force. It just doesn’t seem worth it a lot of the time, especially when it involves...

    climbing with big saws

    How generous of you. I guess my parent had to die for you to have some semblance of civility. I never meant to derail any discussion. I will absolutely never be talking about this here. It’s ‘snunayabizness, really. Back to something relevant.

    How to keep spikes from coming loose

    I always retighten the bottom strap after stepping heartily on the spar a few times, it settles into the leg a bit after that.

    climbing with big saws

    Heh I thought I deleted that sentence on that post. Oops. Been a rough day. Lost a parent yesterday. Mick I’ll try ears, that sounds fun.

    climbing with big saws

    This is a great tip, if you’re doing a crane job and you’re waiting for the ball to come back, rest it on the top of the spar. That’s typically when I would have a 36” something aloft for more than one cut. In the past I’ve just kept the belt tight on my harness, no suspenders, grinned and...

    Would you climb these dead trees?

    Really glad it worked out. I would look at what others have said about the customer dragging feet in getting this taken care of- and say that the fence might just have to get destroyed. That’s their problem. Glad it worked out but I agree. Like Daniel said, the wood may have been solid but I’m...

    Can trees be too big to cable?

    Cody, this is really a monumental plan. 8 steel cables to install, two cranes, holy moly. And in the end, the storm did the work for free. The best laid plans of mice and men… With 20/20 vision, would you still make the same plan for that tree, or would you consider a somewhat less aggressive...

    Consulting and specifications

    If your job is to consult the project to avoid excess root damage, would you essentially end up blocking the whole project due to the constraints of options? The stick in the mud as it were (literally, sort of). That would increase the budget and timeline but that’s city work for ya isn’t it...

    Can trees be too big to cable?

    as an indirect response, I will say I’m usually trying to look for pruning options to reduce leveraging weight rather than cabling, but still cabling at times. Pruning can be a more permanent long term solution, is how I see it. Live oaks are completely incredible. I visit SC coast in the...

    Thanks Daniel. That’s news I can use. I’ll check out Folcrum.

    Inventory / GIS software recommendations

    Hello, Wondering who amongst us has done tree inventories, and if they wouldn’t mind talking shop for a minute. I’m working on a municipal inventory bid and just looking at my tech options. I’ve used treeplotter in the past, which was nice… But I’m considering ArcGIS as it will integrate with...

    Has EAB arrived on the west coast now?

    After going through an ash extinction event here from about 2018-2022, here’s my advice. Identify the most beautiful majestic ashes and treat them. Like 2-5% of the total population of ashes. Remove all the other ash trees while they are safe to climb and rig. Compile all the wood and turn it...

    Maple Decline

    I haven’t been to Ontario but when I’ve visited Chicago (closer to you than yonder), most of their Norway maple street trees had bark flaking at the base. We had a bad year last year with verticillium wilt, of all the maples, they took the biggest hit. But that manifests as sudden crown dieback...
