My old boss used to say that your cock will send you further than gunpowder could ever blow you.

Just an idea, get them (young well equipped crew) in and get a quote for you, bung a grand on and see if it flys.

I’m ok at the moment, I try to take steps to lengthen my climbing life. Loader, so less heavy lifting, better chipper so less effort getting the stuff processed and putting a few extra quid on a job to pay for another pair of hands, just got the little Echo for my wrists which is a tiny little...

I’m with Butch, its alright coming out with the mantra that you MUST keep going to keep going, but if you can’t, if it hurts too much and you have to stop, then that what you must do.

That is very true. I recall you attended some kind of seminar where the speaker said that.

That is a very nasty situation, make sure that hasn’t affected your immune system so that the next sting sets off a dangerous allergic reaction.

Well it’s good to read you anyway Graeme! Glad to hear you’re still on the tools.

Great work Roger, and good pictures as well.

It’s a shame you couldn’t get a few more years out of it but there you go. A lad in his early thirties on AT had to knock it on the head because of persistant joint pain. I’ve been lucky so far, lots of niggles but nothing that’s stopped me. I know I wouldn’t be doing it still if I had to...

I follow a similar model, I will be there on this date UNLESS you hear from me. Keeps phone calls and conversations to a minimum.

True, I hate phoning up to reschedule, you've already let them down before you've started.

Yes Cory, sounds like an effective team. I'll muddle along for a while, not scheduling hard jobs one after the other is important for me.

And mine.

No I won't Jim, quite right. It's a good answer Jay, I don't really mind that much, it just shocks me a bit every time it happens.

Speaking of age, it happened again today. Turned up again today with the crew, slip on the harness and the client says "I didn't réalise YOU climbed the trees!" I might have to start dying my hair and shave the beard off.

I like that one Jomo.

Yes, agreed B, those carers on minimum wage are something else. Doing a difficult job I couldn't do for a fraction of my money.

Ha ha. (Sorry)

Me too. My Dad spent the last 5 years of his life in his sheltered accommodation, warm, secure, well fed and cared for. If that happens to me, I'd be happy enough. You can keep all the bravado stuff.

I'm still feeling stiff after chasing the dog across the countryside for miles on Saturday. Tuesday morning I opened the van door and off he goes again, out the clients garden and down the road. So I leg it after him again in big boots and chainsaw trousers, luckily the lads were able to help...
