And like wrestling, you lose a match every now and then

The heat has gone away for a few days but the rain moved in. I went out this morning and worked. We got our all day job done by lunch so I decided to go home. I need the light day anyhow. Getting tired of coming home all cramped up and dehydrated even though I drink gallons of water and...

Damn. That’s a long cycle. Antibiotics are a good thing but they can wreak havoc on kidneys and liver. .

How long do they have you on doxy Dave? That shit had some nasty side effects in “rare cases”. I only had a 7 day cycle and just happened to have bloodwork done at the same time. Bad liver readings. I’m now getting bloodwork done again next month to make sure they went back to normal. I was a...

Still hot and humid here. I almost feel bad mentioning it while others live in much hotter and more humid areas but at least here it’s understood. I’m about to walk in the house and I’m sure my wife will let me know how nasty it is outside. Like I haven’t been in it since 6:00 am. Grr. I get...

I hate that

Today was nasty humid. I welcomed the storms that moved in. Was able to end the day and felt great getting rained on. Had a great view as I was standing the boom up to catch a slight breeze. I was fetching a broken top while the guys were continuing the wild cherry genocide on this job. You can...

I’ll admit that I’ve been slacking for a while now. Cold plunge 3-4 times a week but the workouts have been very sporadic. Probably the heat getting to me. I feel tired a lot and have a hard time getting up early enough to get a good work out in.i can’t help but think that my inner bitch has...

Like government, the wheels turn slow. I’ve been trying to talk them into buying Steve Connaly’s Mek but that’s doubtful. I can schedule a bigger crane if I get enough notice. Might be getting quicker response from that guy soon though. Boss has invited the rental crane guy and his wife to a...

Pretty nasty emergency cherry removal the other day. Homeowner had the little strap and chain on it when we showed up. And today we are on the last of five removals with the crane. I’m a bit short of stick so Cam is about to rig the tops out Then I’ll pick the logs

Malcolm Jamal Warner (Theo Huxtible) as well earlier this week

I single handily vanquished the beast

No rigging today. Lots of small pieces carefully placed into the tiny drop zone. I have not destroyed the rhody yet. Had a good storm roll in and crushed my dreams of being done today

The three pics I got at the end today. Fifty feet of spar to rig down tomorrow. I might just cut frisbees and sacrifice a rhododendron. It was hot and miserable again. I need to get better at taking pics again. I’ve been slacking for quite a while.

Yesterday was hot and humid (for us) but an easy crane day. Today was supposed to be more of that but I couldn’t set up with out closing the road and somebody forgot to get that permit🤬. Turned into a ten hour day rigging out a good sized pin oak. Tomorrow morning I have two declining silver...
