Local produce in schools and food bank support
Did you read the article or just the title? It’s not just a bunch of lettuce and raw kale from tiny backyard gardens. A) very true, some would want koolaid for breakfast but that’s arguably not a healthy way to go. Part probably included blueberries, beef and potatoes as it is Maine B) if a...- Serf Life

Local produce in schools and food bank support
“USDA has also terminated the Local Food for Schools program, which provided more than $720,000 last year to Maine schools. Schools used those funds to buy food directly from local farmers to serve in their cafeterias. The program provided a big boost to the state's farmers, because more than...- Serf Life

Oh my handyman and landscapers!
Well put! With changing overhead the cost changes too, somethings get cheaper for clients but most don’t. What I’ve been noticing is clients’ surprise when an added on tree is much cheaper (as we are already there with bigger gear). Rewind a while back and the first tree would be cheaper but...- Serf Life

anyone successfully start a business with no equipment or land?
Always seems super weird for folks on the same island or in the same small town to act that way. I don’t want to be a dick then run into that person at the store/school/cafe/dump/town-office/swingers-gtg- Serf Life

New liability insurance for my truck increased by 40%, shop around?

anyone successfully start a business with no equipment or land?
Good clients sometimes get a day rate (7hrs onsite) which they could work backwards for a per hr, but generally bid the job. For transparency I give a no cleanup option or no rake discount (one this fall was $400+ discount that they didn’t bite on…). As to the rate per equipment: your yearly...- Serf Life

GRCS vs. Hobbs (great video)
How many threads has this been in? No problem with it, buncha gear heads, like the mini vs art loader or 1vs2 bridges or which lift… We neg rig as little as possible, and do comparatively light weight but frequent lift and drops. Multi trunk pines/maples being most common where leads are rigged...- Serf Life

Frozen mini skids
Clear tracks and park on ramps/boards. Winter is a joy sometimes. I use a bit of kindling/sticker etc to bust out ice to not hurt stuff if it’s seized. Mud is the worst- Serf Life
