    New MS400c

    Good to know, surprising it doesn't sing with a 24" given the cc. You are in quite hard hardwoods by your photos though! We run 24" full skip on 60cc, but more pine and spruce in the mix.

    Money & Time

    My post probably came off as more of a Bible dig than the intended historical jest. I was pointing to the "oldest answer we have" coming from the Bible comment, when there are texts promoting and cursing work well before. Personally I get satisfaction from physical work and productivity, but...

    Money & Time

    The Bible is a mashup of countless religions, could be quoting the Sumerians! 300s BC Aristotle: "All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind" which seems a bit dramatic but spoken by an elite.

    What about it, and what do you pick up instead?

    When past clients hire someone else…

    Another outfit was working next door and did it day of. I didn't call them back fast enough (but they call us the following time which feels good). Or folks get mult quotes every time they need work, which is annoying but less of a dig.

    Has EAB arrived on the west coast now?

    One of the better articles this yr. It's reported in surrounding towns but not yet sighted in mine. Quite dreading/depressing and I'm very sad.

    Logos, branding, shirts, etc.

    Could you expand on that with specifics, maybe another thread too. Percentages of pay, structure for ownership and methods for entry/exit etc. Interested how those actually are setup with smaller businesses.

    Work Photos

    Standing dead skinny rotten birch led to 2nd repair in 10 yrs, hate that sinking feeling with any fuckup. Color match technology in paint stores is pretty impressive.

    Cabling this Birch tree

    Ah clump river birch... If they want it we would hit it back super hard (they respond very well), 4:1 it as much as possible and put in a static cable.

    That goofy dork looking guy Nick from Tree Stuff can shove it.

    Most definitely. Although perhaps not that Al guy...

    Hiring a climber/ employee from out of area

    The rate to keep them. I wouldn't move to another locale for a pay cut! The flipside of the question/assumption is that the climber would be better at some techniques and more profitable employee with certain skills than local talent. Slower at 180' doug fir, faster at 80' crown spread oak or...

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    That's an interesting one and I can see the reasoning behind it. Certainly if someone is a dick already and any degree of separation between them and others increases the dickishness. Wouldn't use it in the equation for deciding not to use ppe, but interesting.

    Today....

    Rigged out the brush and a few logs over the shed. Pulled the stem backward with mini, put a side line at about 90deg to the lean to help hinge integrity.
