When I started in this gig in 95 I worked for a bit of a ragtag company, saws in those days were a bit less reliable (or so it seemed to me) I remember a climber throwing a non-starting 020t out of the tree onto the ground where it broke apart a bit, rendering it useless. I could not understand...

She is quite the tree worker.

Work is not a joke or a game.

Know what you mean, but he does. I played football (soccer) as a young man, around 35/36 I noticed that Mon/Tues/Weds I was knocking off early or not doing as good a job as I should have because of stiffness or injury. Then I turned around and realised I was the oldest guy in the team. When the...
