    TIPCO??

    I ordered some diehard over memorial Day from Tipco (tree injection products company). I know they're a legit company, but so far I've not gotten any correspondence. No order confirmation, no calls or emails back (reached out daily now). I have fert to do so I just ordered from someone else. I'm...

    I was wondering if anyone would lend me a few books

    Check out thrift books. I've gotten $150 books for like $12. You have to check how old the editions are, but it's an amazing resource for study material. The CA study guide has a list of supplemental books recommended for test takers as well. I would get the newest edition of the CA study...

    business value evaluation

    I knew a guy at a big 3 that did some amazing things. He started out running an office for a big 3. Left to start a company with a loyal cohort from his office. He built it to spec within 3 years to where the big 3 company wanted to buy his new office. He sold to them, ran it for a while, then...

    Overuse Injuries

    I've been debating a battery saw. Idk how they'd work in -20. I know my new spikes are just too sharp still. I've tried dulling them gently, might need to be more aggressive. Long legs so my spikes are normally extended out fully. Side note, I wonder if my lineman boots have anything to do...

    Ditto. Ground pounding kills me. My injuries have been related to ground work. Climbing feels amazing tbh.

    Overuse Injuries

    I agree, frog walking takes A LOT more energy, for me at least. I'm nearly exclusively SRS with rope walking. Go so far as to 3:1 myself back on limb walks most days

    Overuse Injuries

    I CRAVE fresh lemon these days. I drink lemonade a ton. I'd wondered if there was a correlation there. I eat a lot of meat, really high protein diet, so this would make sense. I'd started doing lemon/lime ade so maybe my body is saying something. I know acidic bodies increase inflammation too...

    Overuse Injuries

    Cloey should have a light day on PHC work today. When I get home we're all going to dive into this together. I looked it up last time you'd mentioned it but wound up working too much, compounding issues. Thank you for this (again).

    Overuse Injuries

    I didn't know I could hire an therapist to come in and teach. Never even thought of that. That might be the ticket so I'm not talking too much, lol. Sitting hurts, totally relate. I've got a long plane ride coming up and I'm dreading it. I'll check out U of M archives and see if they have...

    Overuse Injuries

    Getting old is fun isn't it. Especially when cumulative injuries start popping up. I noticed this week that my left knee is feeling really strained, especially when walking through brush on a felling operation. Walking and lifting are fine, but it's when I'm getting on and off equipment, going...

    how to confirm two lined Chestnut borer

    A canopy inspection is the best way to check. They're flat headed borers like EAB, so they'll have D shaped holes. Trace the dieback back until you can find larvae, if feasible. That said, 2LCB is not a primary vector for decline in most cases. They attack drought stressed and culturally...

    Cel Phone Quoting Apps or Program Suggestions

    We're now on jobber. Everything else is so cumbersome. I love it. Easy unlimited support that actually responds. Intuitive design and seamless pairing with QB for books. It's amazing.

    Good to know. I'll be getting wax rings now.

    I fell yesterday

    Thank you for sharing. This was part of our safety meeting today. It could happen to any of us, we all do that very thing. Do you think base tie vs canopy anchor could have influenced the breakout? Any chance you could draw a diagram for us to break down more for training? Glad you're okay...

    Burning out

    Y'all really put some things into perspective. I've thought a lot more about what business I want to build. I've forced some down time and realigned some things. Tbh employees have been a huge stressor this year, so I'm pulling back on that and raising rates a bit. Also putting my foot down with...

    I didn't know there was such a thing. Shows what I know. Are there tree industry specific ones?

    Burning out

    This is really good insight from everyone. I grew up poor AF, so needing to eat has trumped ever taking time off. That said, we're not hurting so bad now. I guess I never gave myself the chance to slow down after things got stable. @Njdelaney nailed it, thank you and @Friedrich for calling that...
