    life expectancy for eye 2 eyes?

    sounds like that cord is toast. how much is your life worth? is this a good place to save $20? not for me..

    Bonsai!

    wish i had the time/patience for bonsai. an old boss used to say bonsai was like having a cow - can't skip milking once. quite the time commitment - not in quantity but in consistency.

    TCC Quebec chapter

    looks like you judged the women with the men, rather than as a group unto themselves? hard to tell from the posted results - there were 3 women and marilou won again?

    ITCC Rope Wrench Submission

    wow, lots of emotion in this conversation. i haven't had time lately to contribute much to TB, so this thread is new to me. i completely understand the frustration of those of you innovators and groundbreakers out there who love this tool and want to be able to use it. and you can, just not in...

    leafsnap!

    ok, so i bought the dirr and am exploring it a bit. leafsnap is much more user friendly, i agree, but dirr has a huge wealth of info that leafsnap doesn't. i just thought this would be a good place to get arborist volunteers involved in this very cool project. it's all about education, for me...

    200T vs T540xp

    [ QUOTE ] Think of this quote when you are 60. Or is that to far away and not yet applicable for you. When those extra pounds are unnecessary, don't take them with you. Juggling a heavy saw may look cool now. But really cool is: Having a good set of shoulders, elbows and wrists when you are 80...

    Lost my best friend

    wow, that sucks. sorry to hear it. i've heard plenty of tree workers over the years have died that way as well. my dog, on the other hand, is suicidally intent on rushing into the fall when he hears fibres tearing - very bad instinct for an arborist's dog. i was falling alders for a friend once...

    1/3 rule

    [ QUOTE ] It kills me inside to see trees removed because neither owner or arborist could look ahead with patience and do retrenchment pruning to keep valuable trees. [/ QUOTE ] just what i was thinkin..

    porta wrap and sap

    lanolin, aka "goop", hand cleaner works great on doug fir sap - $3 a tub at the grocery or auto parts store around here. easy on your skin too. gotta let it sit for a while on serious dried sap and scrape it off, sometimes twice. works though. ditt on sappy ropes - wash them in my own machine...

    carleton chippers?

    yeah, there's a guy who tried to land a bandit dealership and didn't. now he's working with carlton. an hour away, but bandit is in portland more like 2 1/2 hrs away on a good day. good to know the owner is a good guy, but more interested in experience with the product. thanks stephan.

    carleton chippers?

    [ QUOTE ] but make sure you spray-paint an arrow and a this side up on the new machine, so there's no confusion again! [/ QUOTE ] nice. will do. not sure which engine is on this one, but the dealer is offering a 12 inch carlton for basically the price of a 9 inch bandit. will talk specs...
