How'd it go today?

[brendonv]

Harlan is a state contractor. Sent him down that way his year. Sucks.

Good thing is i made it home with some new used 201s and some nice huskys!

 

[cory]

No ya didn't, I take em home! And I checked, my trucks weren't robbed, last nite.

What were you driving and what kinda places were you plowing?

 

[brendonv]

Old int., in with a pack of two other state boys.

Route 1

 

[Dave Shepard]

Aren't you ready to retire that 394 yet?

 

[cory]

Nice state efficiency, sending a guy from Orange to plow in FFld.

Ha, it's plenty fresh, still, Dave.

Steven,

Do you know what the rotary horizontal strainer thing next to the torches in your junk cluttered pic is?

 

[SoonerFan]

I think it's a compost bin.

 

[Bermy]

I think its a clothes dryer drum...we had something similar looking that we turned into a burn drum, that's be my guess.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Rock washer and there was a home made polisher next to it..... Hard to see though... Place is a crafty welders treasure trove. I need to take pictures of some of the old tools, home made stuff and old electric motors for some of the old tradesmen about this place.

 

[Cobleskill]

I would be looking things over if I was there. Thanks.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Ohhh I do...LOL
I get that "project" twitch every time
They are a young couple that bought it as an estate deal. They are off setting the purchase and clean up of the property with the collectable widgets, useful stuff and scrap metal.

Each state truck had a passenger, who did absolutely nothing too.

 

[squisher]

20hrs behind the wheel on a state contract? Up here that wouldn't be legal in a five ton or up.

 

[brendonv]

Ya, i was thinkin the same. Big truck too.

 

[squisher]

Unless it's way different down there the contractor is taking quite a risk if there's any mishaps.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

How often did drivers switch?

 

[Fiddler]

We decided not to work in woods today because of wind. Figured it's better to be safe and come back another day after this storm passes.

Roads were fine on the way there and could hardly see to drive on the way back when I got close to home. Glad we called it.

Had a odd encounter today with another tree co, Two days of rain had me behind so we worked today. At my job and next door is a loader of sorts material handler with forks.They must have done a dead one I had quoted a small dead tree. At about 1pm from the oak I was in I see a guy opening the door. Said hello from my perch and I got the finger when I asked if his company had a name as the truck was blank.
He backs out and pulls in a bucket truck. I go back to work as a long day to complete. 20 min later I hear a crunch, peek and see his boom knuckle swung into the top of the peak. The boom goes down the truck pulls out and gone. Wood left in drive hyd leaks all over concrete drive. Sure hope they are insured.
Almost felt good to see after the finger but I don't wish that on anyone.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Odd combo of events. Name of the company, "The finger"?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hahaha.

So, how does the man know how many hours are driven?

 

[flushcut]

Crazy! I hate it when other tree co.s are a$$ holes, just be nice.
I killed an dead oak.

 

[Husabud]

Hahaha.

GPS up this way. Hard to get around it. Drive your route or find another job.

 

[brendonv]

We sign in and out at a state garage.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Gnatz bastids!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Well, its turning into a GREAT sunday. Had everything plugged in for twenty four hours and still nothing starts. Boooo.
