    Tom Wessels on coevolution, efficiency, and mutualism in stable forest ecosystems

    You are one talented artist. I am no artist but I sure appreciate it. Can we start a thread where Buzzers can show off their art? Unless there is one already and I’m just oblivious.

    How brainwashed are you?

    AJ, either you post these from a desk top, or your thumbs are the most formidable this side of the Mississippi. And if you clacking these out on a keyboard, tour fingers are the most formidable this side of the Mississippi.

    Bids Won vs Lost | A discussion on bidding and quoting

    I feel you on the sting, but their loss man. From what I’ve seen, you’re top notch in work and attitude. That will last you longer. And you won’t have to have a landscaper hat for ruining lawns.

    Skylining micro-chipper into forested work site...ideas.

    New CMI Pulley

    Not sure if you’d even want to do this but you could set a single rope and tie the rig as a regular french prusik or a klemheist and run MRS off of a stationary line. That’s rad.

    Best sources of employees?

    Now, I’m pretty new on the scene as far as running a business and having employees, but I would describe the current employer/employee climate is that anyone worth their salt is either working for themselves, contracting or soloing and the like, or moving on to bigger, better things like unions...
