X I didn't realize you were looking to pick a fight, didn't figure you the type to waste your time on such trivial bullshite. I guess I was wrong. Well I don't argue much when there isn't much to argue about. I know for a fact that no one here was getting out of that job in a day. Not one. As for luggin around the 2 different saws, talk to my employer, he's the one that didn't want to buy a bigger bar for the 460. I ended up bringing mine from home on the second day to speed things a long a bit which did help.
You ever think you feel bad for messing with me because you have no merritt behind what you say? On another post you said that if it wasn't for hollen you'd probably be off of treebuzz. So I have to ask you, if your obviously not on here to learn and it's painfully obvious your not here to help, then why the hell do you come on here? Stir up trouble? Rag on folks? Does this truely make you feel good about yourself? if so, glad i could help

Playing devils advocate is one thing, being an a hole, now that's a whole other story.

I am a nice guy but i know when to come out swinging, internet fighting, ha, not worth my time friend

my dad used to say to me "you know what the difference between you and a hippie is? you can throw a mean right hook and know exactly when to do it"

Please don't write checks you can not cash!!! Still though, nice job, down, nothing broke.
 
No offense here ed but I find it rather interesting that I'm even being critiqued about the time it took me. How can others say they could do it faster and better without ever seeing the jobsite or trees first hand?

I'm sure most would have gone bigger, my inexperience left me more with a comfort level as far as how big I should go but that would tangle up the ground crew worse then the smaller pieces I took did.

In no way shape or form am I saying that it couldn't have been done faster by a more experienced guy but 2 125ft tulips with that many targets underneith is at least a day and a half for the more "seasoned" veterans.

Like you said, nothing broke and I finished it in a timely manner and we made 2gs per day. A good couple days and it kept us working. I think I did just fine.

None taken, as I'd hope you'd not take any. I see the job, from your pics. Pretty sure I know the place. The one a guy fell out and hit his head back when Ray owned the company? If So, I worked there also. Just the comment you made about none getting it done, should not say stuff like that till you've seen other do what they do.
 
Family,

I dont know why, but I find this pic very disturbing. I think its the way the person is pointing in a sinister manner combined with the balaclava face which post 9/11 alway denotes a certain aura of suspicion around the wearer -

The other pics are very good though. As for the tree height issue, in your first pic I'd say those trees were at least 130ft.
 
axeknot, we have way too much in common man, i said the same exact thing when i saw the pic, i told the kid he looked like a suicide bomber ready to drive his wooden truck full of explosives into the school to kill "all american infidels"

hes a great ground worker but damn is he a little messed up. he graduated college and is working for us for a bit til he becomes a cop. i told him that when that day comes ill be huddled up in my house afraid to leave so dont bother sending an invitation to the graduation ceremony

Sitting in large wooden toys is excellent training for the police. Were you near a Krispy Kreme by any chance?
 
“You got something to say, spit it out.”

You asked me to spit it out, so then I did a little. I honestly did hold back even.

I did make a mistake writing these next words in one of those posts, “I actually would rather converse with someone that would fight back like Hollenriech.”

I am within the time-line to go back still and edit that out, but you’ve already addressed it and the thread wouldn’t make sense to others, so I should leave it. I shouldn’t have worded it like that.

It would have been better if I said, if you ever do take offense to something I said, I rather you tell me and talk back. I don’t think I was looking for an internet fight, but maybe I was on a later post.

Maybe I get stressed out from the business and it comes out easily typing on the internet. I’ve said this before I think.

But I think I know why I gave you a hard time.

Me and other tree buzzers often talk outside of the buzz about all the tree “princesses” that seem to be on the site now-a-days.

Telling stories, exaggerating things, acting like they’ve been through battle and they cheer each other along and it seems to be getting out of hand and starting to be sickening to read.

Here’s a anology; so to speak. Lets say you’re looking on youtube and you search for certain key words to find what you are looking for. Lets say you look for “best motorcross backflip”, then you click on a video and some dork has a 6 minute video throwing a toy motorcycle in the air. You’ve felt like your time has just been wasted and others feel the same, just look at the responses. People get pissed off.

Plus in a PM in the past week or so, I conversed with you and many other climbers about something. You spent a lot of time giving me advice. That YES, I asked for. But now I feel like I wasted all that time reading what you wrote because I don’t think you know jack-crap about production tree work now that you posted your big story. Actually, I decided you must not know crap from one of you later PM’s from the things you were telling me to do. That’s why I asked your age in a PM, remember? Because I was thinking, what the heck, this must be some kid or something………. And he’s giving me advice on what I should do with my career and business.

I hate it when new people feel like they have so much good advice to give, when they should just shut up and keep learning.

AGAIN, you said the words, “YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, SPIT IT OUT”. You asked me to, don’t forget THAT!

(oh, and someone else on the buzz created the name “tree-princesses”, and it’s a good one. I can’t take credit for that name. We use it a lot now.)

I guess now, when speaking to you familytree, I’ll consider going back to, "If I don’t have anything nice to say, I won't say it at all”. I’m back in elementary school.

Now all your buddies are going to rag on me for bashing you, when all along they were thinking the same thing.

Oh, and two days on two trees DOES seem like a very long time. Yeah, I can't see everything in the pictures, but I didn't see a huge glass greenhouse under those trees. There's not many trees in the past that we have done that have ever taken more than one day to do a tree. Even back when I was 21 years old and didn't have the equipment to help speed things up.

I'm done, thanks.
 
I can't stay out of this.

The pictures are what they are.
I have viewed them over and over again.
Although I have not seen the site they do not look intimidating.
Like some(or one) has said the tulips are deceptive in their own right.
For goodness sakes this site(in my opinion) can not turn into a "what I did today is impressive" site.
Today I was talking to some old timers. None of these guys go on treebuzz, although I try with earnest to get them too.
They perfer to call today's treeman a "girl scout."
I generally take offense to this.

Not when I see someone posting about these trees and all the stroking that goes along with it.

I tend to believe the old timers.
This is your job dude. Buck up and get those trees down.

No-one should stroke anyone for doing their job.

Guess I am a little jealous about how I was treated or berated as a young climber.

Never once was there an internet site where I could post my minor achievements.

Again nothing was broke and no-one was hurt. Good for you.
This is your job. You should be tired and cold. This is work.

Girl Scouts???

My school you was a Brownie till you did a tree you needed the 084 atleast 25' up (no billy bob bucket boy either, on gaffs) then you was a JR Woodchuck.
 
Hey that’s right I don’t know how long you have been doing this. But it’s easy to say ah I could do it faster hey maybe I could have most likely i could ha-ha. No all kidding aside you got it down and didn’t get hurt or break anything great job!! Worry about quality first. Then later you can work on quantity (speed) if you like. that’s the trouble a lot of times when training everybody wants to know the shortcuts not always good everybody should learn the basics first. Keep up the good work. Keep it safe
