    I've worked 10 days straight and have scheduled work the next two days but I'm taking Sunday off. At some point between now and then I'll return the rest of my calls and go through my list in order to figure out next week's schedule.

    Just got internet back again. Went out 2 days ago. As of today I finally have all my emergency jobs done. No more trees on or uprooted and leaning over houses. I'm exhausted. Going to do 3 easy jobs tomorrow and probably hit a couple trees in my ground guy's yard. I still have at least a dozen...

    Funny thing occurred to me. When I left here 4-5 years ago I thought I was the biggest asshole dick on the forum. Now I can see I've been replaced several times over. That is all.

    My best day was $1900 minus my ground guy who I'm paying 15% for storm work. But I have $3K for tomorrow. Chicken scratch compared to what some outfits are doing but I have almost no expenses out of that and it's just me. I'm mostly just trying to help friends, family and previous customers. I...

    Hey guys! Just got internet back after a week outage. Storm hit here Sunday night, cable went out about 9pm. Power went out about 5am. I'm 3 blocks from the sub station and my transformer is on a main line so my power was back on Tuesday afternoon. But the week without internet was frustrating...

    Looks like the eye will pass right between Marathon and Key West, putting the worst of it right on Marathon. Hoping the best for you, V. Got both bucket trucks topped off with diesel after work. About half the stations are out of fuel. Did some final prep including swapping out the winch rope...

    I wasn't morally content with any of them just from what they were asking me to do. If I wanted to butcher trees simply because they were near a target then I'd be busy cutting down all the trees in my own yard. Just no.

    I got a dozen calls today from people wanting me to come cut something because they were afraid of the storm. Sorry, I'm not going to butcher trees because some idiot is afraid and panicked. If it wasn't an emergency last week then it's not an emergency this week. And I'm not going to double my...

    The projected track keeps getting shifted eastward. Now it's going to go up the east coast, which keeps the worst winds out to sea.

    Hopefully she is on the road. The Keys are under a mandatory evacuation order now. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2017/09/05/keys-emergency-manager-you-must-evacuate-you-cannot-afford-to-stay/

    If power goes out I have a generator for running small stuff but I am not set up to hook it up to the house wiring like at my last house. And it's not big enough to run my central AC anyway. So I just got back from Wal Mart hoping to buy a window AC unit but they were sold out. Everybody is...

    The forecast changed dramatically today and it looks like Florida is going to get a direct hit. The big question now is if it will go west into the Gulf or turn north and up the coast. Virginia, I hope you're ready for this one. Here's an awesome page of weather links. http://www.tropicwx.com/
