Re: we have the best job ever!
Glen you saying have a problem guys who like to get high? Or that you wouldn't work with arborists of that sort? I think he's giving into peer presure and just trying to fit in.
Reminds of one of my first jobs out of high school, Packed in tight in a pickup...
Actually on the rear cables you can 6 fatigue breaks in the cable and it passes. If you have one valley break you need to have the cable replace. A valley break is more noticable it will really stick out. Check all the welds for cracks. Make sure the cables aren't pulling out from where they are...
I'd probably mess with them more if I didn't have to work. I only ride one or two each night. I'm hoping to sell my 10 year old ranch gelding this weekend. I'll be able to focus on our younger show horses.
How about not drop crotching, not something you want to learn to do to healthy trees. If you have dead tops then take it back down the nex best suitable and viable lateral. That is drop crotching and can't make a mess of it. You just find the first green branch and cut. Don't go performing this...
I would say get yourself a climbing saw like a stihl 0200 and if your just getting in the buisness just get a 460 with 20" bar on it. If and when you start getting into bigger wood add on a 66 with at least a 32". That should hold you over just fine.
This came up just the other day. I wanted an anchor to pull a tree over vs cutting more hinge or wedging. I was looking over the neighbors fence seeing nothing but an inground pool and thinking hmmm......? Before that day I was thinking what can I anchor off here for a speed line? I've seen...
Come mon butch surely you remember the days of non adjustable lanyards. You adjusted the length by the number of wraps or tying a knot in it. I remember the ole days. I can remember the days of no lanyard at all. I'm coming full circle here and getting back to no lanyard. They just slow you...
Isn't that always the problem ground guys who can't keep up or dont want to give the lowering line back just to slow you down. I hate when they try to keep me down like that. G
Good Job! At least everyone is safe and you got paid thats whats important.
Re: Fun with Tom
Yeah Tom you must wear the hard hat on your head. They tell me it does no good worn on your saddle or under your arm. Besides no one can tell how bald I am with it on! I almost blinded Roachy on Friday when I took it off
cool picture I love CR's. I have a KDX 200 with some extras lots of fun. Sheath cleaning is where you stick your whole hand up to your elbow up the horses forskin with a hose and some excailabure cleaner and wash off the smegma. They lots of dirt of there and it can make them a bit cranky.
I finally used my new velocity and I have to say so far no complaints. It hadled fine. The eye splice from the factor is a bit too tite for me use it as I like. I put a litte bow shackle with a flush pin and that worked pretty good. Couldnt really use it with a rope guide like that. But its fine...
I got the delorme version for the laptop. I found that the laptop didn't really have the reserves to run that program and others. The GPS program ran really slow. I did recently upgrade to 512 of RAM maybe change the CD ROM setting would help as well. I havent used it lately.
