It's been awhile since I last posted, but I thought this might come in handy for some of you.
For background, I live in Florida, and last year Hurricane Helene put about five feet of bay saltwater in my house. Naturally I was away doing storm recovery work at the time, and didn't get home...
I spoke with my colleague Matt Parker of Atlas Field Services, and he told me he wants to fill field consulting positions needed to re-establish the grid in parts of Florida hit by Ian. Personally, I hate vague job offers, so I tried to get all the pertinent information. Here's the skinny...
I'm attending the 2022 ISA International Conference in Malmo, and arranged to arrive early, thinking that I'd make my way to the site of the ITCC to get into the spirit of things before I start attending classes tomorrow.
To my dismay, I found:
1. It's being held at a site about 35km from...
I've got a TX425 that needs to have the muffler replaced. OEM Toro Part is about $250.00. The muffler has four nuts welded onto it that are intended to receive bolts which go through brackets welded onto the body, the retainer sleeve and into the nuts. It also has an inlet pipe with a flexible...
My venerable Spencer Pro Tape 35DCRSX had a service live of nearly eleven years. It's been limping along for the last three or four and I've disassembled and rebuilt it a few times, but I think it's not coming back from its latest misadventure.
I'd like to hear any buzzer recommendations for a...
I'm excited to be attending my first ISA International Conference, and was curious as to whether any other buzzers will be in attendance. Chime in if you're going.
Goodbye to a brilliant theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and mathematician. A constant advocate for peace and reason in a world sadly in need of both.
(And a rock star too!)
South Florida Arborists are needed to assist in counting nursery plants for an inventory and appraisal project underway in Homestead Florida.
The work is being done in 4 day stints every other week, so if you're a small operator, retired or have vacation time you'd like to use to earn some...
While putting together a proposal for pruning services outside of my normal service area, I was wondering where I might be able to tip debris, and what it might cost. Internet to the rescue.
This site lists every known public, private and municipal waste disposal site in Florida. You can sort...

I've got a Toro Dingo TX425 with a BMG Grapple and a Debris bucket. I'm trying to figure out a safe way to move a few sheets of plywood from the truck to the turnaround point, using the Dingo and one of those two attachments.
I've thought of cutting a hole in each sheet, large enough for the...
