Ok they stuck me with a diffrent supervisor today. I thought great dragging brush all day when he gets to sit in the bucket(this is really what this guys does cuts everything then hangs out in the bucket and watches you clean the rest) Well to day we were givin a work order for one "monster pine" No big deal make sure I got all the gear and headed out. Well we get to the job site setup the bucket extended up as high as it could go and was able to cut 5 branches.(he cant climb in his own words to fat and old I seen him try ounce it was pretty funny). That means Its my turn to play. Out come the spurs and I limb up the rest of the 60 ft. and take the two 10' tops out. The first one no big deal tthe tree gave a little wobble and leand in the other direction from the wieght of the second top. The second that gave me the rideounce the hinge snapped it sent the but in the other direction and me yelling "yahoo!!!!!!!!!" the whole way. After taking some 10' chunks out of it, my ride was over. and then fatty took over with the rest. I'd thought I'd tell some one, even if they dont care. Im gonna miss this work when I get fat. I still get all excited when I think of the next time it will happen. /forum/images/graemlins/happydance.gif
 
Dont get fat. Stay in shape and youll enjoy life longer. Remember how you feel about fatty in the bucket when you are in a position of seniority.
 
No Not yet. Haven't been doing this long.

Stumper: My company seems to reward lazy fat people makes it hard for the people like me who love to climb and just plain work make it there.
 
I picked up an old Asplundh truck recently, but I'm stoked up about a cuople of wide silver's we got coming up, they need climbed too. the trucks good for thoughs road side jobs but a good climber is more valuable to me.
