Yesterday I couldn't find my charm before heading out. I used to clip it to me, but lately had been just putting it in my pocket., like the day before yesterday. It fell out somewhere. It sort of bothered me, but what can you do, and my wife asks me, "Are you working above ground today?", like...

Not many of those types left, I only know one...now two. If he is funny at lunch and breaks, make him a national treasure!

People sometimes ask me if I have ever cut myself on the tablesaw. Enough people have, so I guess it is a legitimate enough question. I usually just say no, and that I don't plan to. Guards are impossible to have on a saw for anything but the most basic of work, they just get in the way...

Maybe the same tree, but the shot was more from underneath looking up. That's a great photo too!

There was one photo of MB quite high up on a relatively small diameter trunk. I'm not qualified enough to say if it was safe or not, so I assume that it was. I got tingles looking at it. I thought then that he must be fearless.

Lucky lady always rides with me!

Call it a 'think tank'. Some of those big houses that you guys live in over there, you should have a sofa in your "office".

Change that to marbles and I'm the same.

Thanks for the ok, Ed. ;)

"Whatever gets you through the night, it's alright". ~ John Lennon Funny customers.... Last year a lady pumped me for a lot of information about a job she wanted done, my part of it and included was another aspect of the work that required someone else's skills that I recommended. I...

Why don't you say to them, "I dunno, why don't you watch and tell me if I do". Get them possibly thinking a bit.

Funny things about uncles, Sometimes they are famous, but seemingly more often than not, infamous. Slipping bark, I've experienced it and don't like that one at all. Choking under a limb is good practice whenever possible.

I use a bucket truck from a rental outfit once-in-awhile. I wonder about the maintenance.

Wow!

On the 25 ton which is about all I ever ride, I like how the operator can just slow you down so nice and gradually bring you in to the crown. So much power and such finesses, it's a cool feeling.

I find riding the crane hook scary as hell, but i love it, especially after my feet touch the ground again. The first time I did it the operator asked me if i was up for it, I said yeah, but was thinking something else. He took me up, I mean way way up over the trees to drop me down. No way I...

Sure thing, Rob, but it is on the job, so he has taken off all the jewelry that only protects him during other activities, not climbing. :lol:

Naw, interesting story. My climbing mentor here, the first to help me off the ground, is covered in jewelry, necklace and bracelets. Mostly tiger eye stone and something else that he says protects him. He had a bad fall once too, with broken ribs. What they call a Toby here, a person whose...
