Great post Blinky. I too have a daughter, only three, and people have joked about the future boyfriend thing too. Love to hear it actually happens. I think it's great. You did sum it up all around.
Benefits of being a tree climber...

Playing with hingewood, living geometry and physics, people watching, elevated heartrates, feeling the weight and power of photosynthesis. Getting peed on by squirrels.....no. The sounds of the canopy, even in the middle of the city we work in the forest

On a nice warm spring day, the sound of leaves fluttering all around you is something quite nice. Doesn't that sound good right about now? I'm gettin' kinda sick of cold wind and snow blowin' through empty canopies.

Farmertan - big time!
A lot of fresh air.
Adrenaline pumping
Taking care of trees is a fantastic thing. Love to prune an old giant and know that my kids will be looking at it (hopefully !) in 20 years.
Smelly armpits.
You get to buy sooo much fantastic gear!
Frostbites on your feet in the winter :-(
Sawdust in your underpants. Girls love it!

Holy crap, thought there was something wrong with me, even the occasional feeling like I'm about to fall for some odd reason

Just being outside in the fresh air as a job. Having people pull over to watch, or take a photo and say, wow thats awesome ( not so much from a bucket though, anyone can work from a bucket and feel safe IMO ) Intentionally swinging around like a kid.

I told my mom the same thing when I was 6. She said, "You can do anything you want when you grow up, Honey!", in a motherly sort of way. She was convinced there was no way anyone could ever make a living climbing trees, but I am so glad she was wrong! We have the best job ever
