    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    That's a really good point too.

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    Exactly. The ergonomics are terrible for any kind of work from a saddle. I really appreciate the observation though about dirty cutting. I can see a strong argument for keeping one on the truck for any kind of dirty material. Out in brushy country, I get people wanting zones cleared of small...

    Ban bamboo.

    First I laughed at your poop joke, and then I laughed at the incredible irony in the origin story of the plague of jizz pears. 5 stars.

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    That sounds like a super valid use. I have some 'wood only' pruning blades for a reciprocating saw, and I used to fall very small trees with it until I got a chainsaw. You can make some nice looking cuts with a little practice.

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    I had thought about it, and I would swear it's come up somewhere around here before, but in any time I have seen it discussed, there seem to be more reason not to that to do it. I don't have a lot of skin in that game so I forgot exactly how, but I became convinced that they were more dangerous...

    Brush bandit 1890

    I have worked with one of those. Badass machine at an awesome price. Someone's about to come up.

    I appreciate that Ryan. I need to learn some more of that tact. I was just joking around to keep your post high in the list of recent posts to increase visibility. As you may remember, I have gotten into serious trouble for telling jokes at inappropriate times. I know you're a busy guy, and I...

    Ban bamboo.

    I have a friend in Florida whose parents planted a bamboo 40 years ago, and it's still only taking up 20-30 square feet. Not all varieties are so heinous.

    Ban bamboo.

    I could go for planting licenses, with liability on the installer if they put it anywhere it shouldn't go, but the damage that has already been done would take generational effort to undo, so perhaps a full ban for a while would be helpful. I dunno. Slippery slopes with full bans. I do however...

    The worst part of all that was the fact that the tariffs didn't actually generate enough to give each person 2k, yet my calculations of household expenses show that the tariffs probably cost me personally an extra 8k over the previous years expenses, buying mostly the same things. It seems the...

    Holy shit, that really is a giant machine, unless that's just a toy it's picking up in the grapples.

    Tree man.

    I had to save that meme for the collection.

    Tree man.

    Thanks Chris. That is really sad to hear man, but as predicted, it's an always sobering reminder of the reason we have established certain protocols. I have been fired for being slower than they thought I could be if I would 'be a man', and do a bunch of single ropin', one handed chainsawing...

    Today....

    Today I got an offer letter from a high end outfit in the South SF Bay area to be their sales arborist. I am at a loss for words.
