Equipment for sale

[vharrison]

Top, man, my thoughts are with you.

 

[brendonv]

Its discouraging when guys that are doing what you are doing, throw in the towel. Even more so when they seem to be really good at it.

Ditto.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do next!

This (tree business) was my next gig, is there somewhere to go from here?

 

[brendonv]

Is there somewhere to go from here?

I hope so!

 

[lumberjack]

Since he's choosing this for himself rather than being forced, I'd tend to think it's a good thing for him eh?

A change every now and again can be quite exciting.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Who says he's not being forced?

 

[top hopper]

Carl is correct ya'll.

Im not being forced into anything here. This is my choice, which I have been considering for quite a long time.

I am passionate about trees and treework, but have grown to hate so many of the other aspects of running a business.

I have thought long and hard about this and am actually looking forward to it.

 

[SkwerI]

I can understand, John. I also dislike most aspects of the business. But I have found a way to specialize in the parts that I enjoy by subcontracting to the guys doing all the crap that I dislike. Hopefully you can figure out how to make good money by focusing on the stuff you enjoy.

 

[lumberjack]

John and I talked about it back in 06 when I was up there and again this morning.

I'd say he's considered all the angles.

 

[Hobby Climber]

Sorry to hear your going ground bound John. I whish you all the best with whatever choices you make for yourself!!!

 

[Old Monkey]

Considering myself a friend, in an on-line sort of way, I feel it is time to insult you and cajole you into staying with the group.


Hey man, your not wussing out on us are you? Come on you can't give this up. What are you going to do, take an office job with a bunch of girlie college grads?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bet he froze up and had to be rescued. Yeah, I bet that's whut happened...

 

[Frans]

Now now, don't get mean.
He won the lottery but it is only so much so now he is selling his equipment.

....or he got a gig as a backstage porn movie worker, and has to keep it hush hush so his family won't find out

 

[SkwerI]

I think he found a deal and bought a gas station.

 

[squisher]

DON'T DO IT!!!!!

 

[top hopper]

Its too early to say where Im going.... but I will fill you in when I can. FWIW- I plan on staying in the industry.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You are an oxymoron!

 

[SkwerI]

You are an oxymoron!

Did you mean to say 'enigma'?

Well that sounds very positive, John. Looking forward to hearing more about your new career when the time is right.

 

[top hopper]

You are an oxymoron!

Why is that?


Because I want to stay in the industry but dont want to run my own business?

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, because you behaved like an oxymoron. You said you were getting out, then you said you were staying in.

Oxymoron.

 

[top hopper]

Getting out of my company, staying in the industry.

I should have been more clear.



I prefer enigma, I like to keep everyone wondering WTF is he doing?
