Wow. That’s frustrating. If it makes you feel any better, our liability policy went up 35% this year, for no good reason.

Obviously someone thinks there's a good reason. Think of the CEO, who is so clever that he came up with a great way to make the company more money: just charge more money. Yacht staff don't work for free dude.

Gouging under the guise of "inflation"

We've had some pretty crazy rain here the last couple days a friend of mine lost a bunch of big oaks, their 3 cars got crushed including the classic dodge pickup and one landed on his house. He was extremely lucky no roof damage except on the eaves. We've got another week of rain in the forecast we got the house cleared off today going to try for the cars tomorrow.

Pruning using a slide line. I pruned this tree about ten years ago as well.

They might all be totaled, he had full coverage on the excursion and the white Acura, the old dodge is on the other side of the excursion it was super clean almost all original. The dodge took the worst of it the cab and doors are pretty much completely smashed in. The excursion roof is dented in but not holes or visible damage so even if it gets totaled it's easy to "fix" and drive around. The mdx rear hatch it smashed along with the rear pillers and the roof on the back.

Helped with this deodar cedar failure today. At one point 3 GRCS winches and 3 portawraps were in play.

Trashed a 28" lightweight today making a dumb cut, but at least I got a new toy in the mail.

madsens1.com has advice for bending the bar back, if it is not cracked.

Why do people park in bad places?

This was at a business on a major highway in my area.

Yah, I've had bars fixed before at Woods Logging. I'm hoping this one is fixable, but I don't know, it's got like two bends and a twist in it, haha.

Anyways, after a recent thread where you and I talked about battery saws vs the 2511, I busted mine out today since it had been ages since I used it last. Honestly I'd forgotten how light it is, and that it certainly is fun and easy on the body. On this bushy dead fir I was just making it rain limbs, so it idled the whole tree, meaning pull-starting wasn't an issue, and lightweight won as the most useful saw feature.
