Today....

[27RMT0N]

Man, I remember pruning a deodar cedar back in Seattle that was so big and wide we had three climbers and a guy in the bucket in the tree at once, still took all day. It was a lot of fun working as a team like that.

I'd love to see a tree like that!

Quoted back to back jobs today for new clients where each had recently lost a husband to esophageal cancer. Interesting coincidences, not like I go up to strangers and ask these things, but helpful to be reminded of the unseen connections between people and humanity in general. So easy for one to feel isolated/disconnected in this world

Good sized install today. 15 trees and 26 shrubs. Client want native species which makes me happy. Tupelo, River Birch, Eastern Red Cedar, Holly, Swamp White Oak, Bayberry and Inkberry. Should hopefully wrap it up tomorrow.

We had a customer with a bit of a tree problem today.

@Fivepoints nice to see your Grove in action. Looks like plenty of work to keep it busy.

Climbed one doug- fir to 70', deadwooding, and canopy raising to 35', swung over to two more to deadwood to 50'. 1-1.5 yards of chips. A vented dust mask has been a significant help. @Steve Connally got me going on the idea with RZ masks, similar to the no name mask I am wearing. Lots of dust in dry, dead limbs and chipping.

My employee canopy raising a doug- fir over a fence.

I ran our crane today myself. I have operated a bunch but not much with this new crane as Im usually climbing with it. I could get used to this crane. Its very nice to operate. This thing has lots of capacity at distance. 89ft and 4200 lbs of net lift capacity with 125 ft of boom out. Still 92 ft up too.

That’s a very nice display. Do you find yourself looking at the bottom left corner mostly? My display puts the same info in the bottom right, just above the percentage bar.

Yes I do as thats always a consideration when making a pick. Then theres the constant 60 percent of chart.

I think I have a bit more gut in the way, but thank you for that complement.

Taking advantage of getting a good rainstorm yesterday to get in a little bit of burning since this is probably my last chance until next winter.

How is the New Tribe Tengu? Always wondered if it would cut the mustard in a work environment.
