Maybe Brandon can find the source of the issue in this original thread.

:dance: It's back! LONG LIVE THE WORK PICS THREAD!

Really? That's all we have -- Buckinghams with pole gaffs.

Even the name sounded evil -- Schlitterbahn is the water park and Verruckt was the name of the slide -- which means "insane" in German. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/27/us/schlitterbahn-waterpark-death-arrests/index.html

Terrifying water slide (tallest in the US) here in KS just got decommissioned/dismantled after a state congressman's son was decapitated on it 2 years ago. In it, you ride rafts with a partner and there were safety nets above the first hump/jump to keep people from getting tossed out of the...

I have a pet pony tail palm right here in my bedroom, about 2' tall, 6" DBH -- (there's only a "breast height" in play here because it is on a dresser).

$800 and I'd be dumping in the bay! Or posting on Craig's List: Load of free mulch!

I had always wondered -- hair color is rather dark for 61 years old! Kinda like me using the other climber for the FK avatar... but he does rep. the company well!

Gonna do a freebie at the library on Arbor Day, but will probably milk some publicity out of it. So good will is at least noticed if not appreciated. Perhaps even do something on Earth Day as well tree-related (planting, offer free mulch, dunno).

Sorry to not be more clear -- that was 15 years ago and I don't have an actual pic of it on file, so I found one that was similar. X-ray said no break, just mega ligament damage.

Not my own photo -- just representative of the injury (black/purple, double size foot). I didn't have the bacon look, that's for sure.

Beware of Gopher Holes! Same with my ankle ligament injury. Would've been better if I would've broken it, but 8 weeks of physical therapy and not letting it atrophy and continuously working it since have kept the range of motion open and helped bring improvement where it felt as though it would...

You still recommending tree paint? We stopped recommending it a few years back. Just curious what other people do/recommend.

I like how your shadow of the spar lines up with the pad logs and the chipper. Nice shot aloft!

And patch the fiberglass... can't cast any stones here though, somebody snagged our fender against a stone wall backing up the chip truck...

Chains are a last resort due to the circumference of the logs. Usually it's Amsteel slings, but we need to get some longer ones for those large hardwood trees we sometimes have to deal with. Our larger grapple attachment had a welded on gated hook on it for rigging purposes; this small one is...

Okay, you asked for it... This is from Day #2. Day #1 was about 12 hours, working till dark taking down the canopy & chipping this massive Missouri bur oak. We did it like the "Future of Tree Work" -- tandem machines, grapple on the top side grabbing logs, bucket truck down below with the...

Likewise, undercutting was the prime example of backchaining that immediately leapt to mind. Glad the BC guidelines take that into account!

Our climber, now bucket operator, likes to lean out like that. That's the only time he's ever tweaked out his back, grabbing something and pivoting for a hurl. Me? I plan on getting closer to the cut in the bucket, as I do on the ground. I also plan on getting a fall arrest harness! And a saw...

I liked it a lot. Tongie here is a nearby town (Tonganoxie). Only tongs we have are on the homemade log arch -- if they slip, you only drop something 6" to a foot down to the ground. Chains, slings, or the grapple for material handling here using the grapple truck. And like you, everyone on the...
