    The mill or impact. Looks like something heavy spent some time sitting there, or it was beaten on.

    How'd it go today?

    So... Met with the detective at the end of FSR 144. We went to school together, and he recognized me immediately. The guy from yesterday had stayed up all night drinking. At around 0500 he got in a minor scuffle with his brother in law. An hour later he roughed up his wife's dad too, which...

    How'd it go today?

    Yeah, and now I want to binge watch the show, since autoplay showed me a few more good clips. I meet the detective in an hour, I'll post an update later. I was taught from an early age, that if you are genuinely doing the right thing, the universe tends to watch over you.

    How'd it go today?

    So, an update. Hands are fine, I have a lot of experience in their use in this application, and I was wearing my compression gloves, which likely helped with that. I sat in my truck for about an hour, and decided I didn't want this crap hanging over my head, so I headed for town and the...

    It was looking like a good day. Got some pictures of the wild foal nursing at mom earlier. That's what ruined the day. Some city folk started messing with and chasing the wild horses with a side by side. I've been doing so good for so long. I've kept my temper in check for the last five years...

    How'd it go today?

    Crane had another engagement, and the boss took a while in the tree, so here's where we're at now as we break for lunch. I'm paid from the time I show up, til I leave, thus he pays for his disorganization. I don't like to judge, and I don't want to disparage, but... This kid makes me feel...

    How'd it go today?

    "Be at my place by 5:30, I want to get over there by 6, so we can get as much brush out of the tree as possible before the crane gets there." So I parked the truck at 5:25, transferred my cooler and day bag from my truck to his, and plugged in my phone. He finally started his truck at 7:56...

    How'd it go today?

    A z rig implies multiple anchor points, that's just a 3:1. While I try to avoid twists, when working with three strand, twist happens. Progress capture is very useful for pre-tensioning, and would have probably helped there, but I had a lot of leverage and the 3:1, so I didn't bother with...

    Hairy chested many chit...or, more hauling on a rope to drop a stick.

    How'd it go today?

    So, I'm terrible about taking pictures... Dropped a dead narrowleaf Cottonwood, while hanging from the live one next to it, then I killed one before it could kill Danni's mudroom. Sarah dropped the kids off with me in Round Valley, Saturday morning. They got to go to Monster Jam on Friday, so...

    How'd it go today?

    Yesterday I learned how to do tree injections, or at least one variation on the theme. Today I believe we're going back out to forest lakes to drop some beetle kills. Homeowner also needs a significant amount of mistletoe remediation. Looked at a pair of big ponderosas yesterday, one removal...

    Alright David, I'm calling off the wedding. It's just that our differences are irreconcilable. I'm a Stihl bitch, and I'll not have your icky HooskVerna in our relationship any longer. Let alone whoever Jonsred is! My boss likes husky too, but I accredit that to his youth. He also hasn't ever...

    How'd it go today?

    Cleaned up a few jobs so we'd have a clear weekend. Then we went and made a mess in Forest Lakes. Then I drove the 85 miles to springerville so I could take care of my best friend David's mom's trees lol. His lovely girlfriend Danni is making pork and potatoes for supper. Home cooked sounds...

    How'd it go today?

    Well... Had to break up with the new girlfriend today. Turns out that dumpster fire can rage on unabated, as my efforts won't avail. Her two boys are in foster care. There's the first red flag. My best friend's mom is the foster parent. There's the conflict of interest. So i still have...

    Got my girls dropped on me last night, and the boss canceled today. Now I have no idea what to do with today, but it'll be good because I have my babies.

    How'd it go today?

    I'm officially on the boss's ass to go to a doctor. It seems a large part of the issue in the morning is him trying to catch his stomach. Not to get too deep into it, but the symptoms he described sounds a lot like Chron's. He's 24, he needs to get a handle on whatever this is, and yesterday...

    How'd it go today?

    I climbed today. Nothing major, just a little apple that needed help. It still does, but I think it'll need a year to recover after today. Very neglected tree, lots of crossed branches and such. Many bad old cuts. We did what we could. We also trimmed the maple in front of it.

    Easy day at work today, drop a couple of little whip poles, then I helped the boss clean his yard. Gonna get off early, and go do laundry. Ash is driving down from showlow to hang out again, hopefully I'll get to bed at a decent hour. She's young and I feel like an old man trying to keep up. I...

    How'd it go today?

    Things dis not go to plan this morning. Truck will have to go to the shop to have the bearings done. The hex head screws that hold the hubs together are stripped. Extracting them isn't exactly something I'm willing to do with hand tools in a parts store parking lot. The ball joints need done...
