I used to own a Carlton 2400 ages ago, since then I have subbed out most of my grinding or rented one of the Barreto machines at the rental yard 100 yards from my place. I am looking to get a grinder again for small and medium stumps, the bigger ones I am going to still farm out. We are looking...

Every other time I log in to the TH one of my pictures comes up in the rotator. Is it random chance or does the rotator know it's me?

A friend of mine works for Point Reyes National Seashore and they have a very large California Live Oak that was cabled many years ago with a steel/static cabling system. Some of the cables have since snapped and failed. They have had the tree looked at by a fellow from the University of...

Guy Meilleur/Treelooker is here in Boise giving lectures at our horticultural expo. I got to meet a Tree Houser and get CEUs for it. Oh and I learned some stuff too. I'd post more but he's taking now and that would be rude of me.

I bought a new Sequoia saddle a month or two ago so it figures that Bailey's would have them on sale for a hundred off. They're having real good deals on Silky, Petzl, saw chain this week. It's worth checking out.

It only took me six years but Tanager Tree Service finally has a real website. What do you think? tanagertreeservice.com

I just went out to do a little yard work, neglecting to eat lunch before hand. Then as I'm working my hands begin to shake and I feel light headed. I came back inside and have eaten but still feel shaky. It seems so much easier to do this now that I am older. Anyone know any good things to...

So am am looking at the pamphlet trying to decide which days to go, whether I am flying solo or bringing the family. Don't really need loads of CEUs. If I attend something it's to learn and not just get credits for being bored into a stupor. If I pay top dollar and someone lectures me for...

It's been years since I kept up with every thread here on the Tree House. Is anyone still following everything?

Parents go in to my daughter's school and give talks and lessons about things they're familiar with. I've though about two subjects, one trees and the other mechanical advantage. Trees are great and I think I could make interesting but like the idea of having the kids lift stuff with blocks...

So I am sitting here waiting for the first lecture to begin. Pete doesn't seem to be here yet. I think the first lecture is on defensible tree appraisals so I wouldn't blame him for sleeping in. The timing is perfect for an indoor day as a major winter storm is coming through today and we're...

Some miscellaneous pictures I've meant to post and a few that I may have altered a bit. The congestion picture is down the road from Burnham's. It just caught me funny.

My friend Chris just called me about this ad in Craig's List. http://boise.craigslist.org/zip/2785387933.html Here's the email response he sent. I'll love to come and dig that thing with my wife and kids for 2 days and display it in my front yard by the driveway next to my mailbox. Been...

My Bulgarian ground guy wounds why we don't do this anymore. I remember that the trees in the orchards when I was a kid were all painted white. What did they use and did it work for pests? Anyone know anything about this practice?

Is going to be a speaker at our next horticulture expo. He's going discuss Eucmen and Oakmen, the history of tree climbing and some other topics. I am pretty excited about. I've never met Blair or seen a presentation by him. He's been such an innovator in our field.

One of my guys tried to make a pruning cut on a crabapple in one cut. Needless to say it tore out. It of course is right on the front side facing the street. I remember buying tree sealer in gray back in California, it may have been Treekote or it may not have been. I need to try make the...

I just posted this on Craig's List this morning: Boise tree service looking for part time ground help. There is a possibility of going to full time as work necessitates. No prior experience necessary. The work is hard physical work and its done in all sorts of weather. We're looking for a hard...

I have been doing more and more cabling and bracing, especially since switching to the dynamic cable Tree Stuff sells. Its a more affordable way to cable in this not so rich market. Anyway, I just got called by a customer and went out to look at an ash tree I pruned 5 years ago. The tree is...

For me its setting a line with the throwball. There is a fair chance I will launch that thing behind me and hit someone. Occasionally, when no one is watching, I make my shot but most of the time I stink up the great outdoors. The Bigshot was an easy purchase to justify in terms of time and...
