How'd it go today?

[Tree09]

I wasn't aware you got it, as I'm sure you know they don't joke about that at all. Good deal man, it wasn't directed as a negative thing, but rather as a looking out for you. 1400 foot ranch house is yours boss.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Alright, fellas - Grab the 200 of your choice and meet up in the back!!!

 

[Tree09]

It's not like that at all Butch, no hard feelings either way.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I know I'm just yanking yur bollocks!

 

[Tree09]

my wife will be ripping them off when she finds out that we're now homeless

I love that many people on Instagram familiar with me at first glance will assume it’s a massive tree trunk LOL

 

[Mick!]

Not really sure what is happening in this thread.

ok, sorry, photo just appeared after 15 mins.

 

[Tree09]

I'm still trying to guess what was in it.... and how it got dented!

 

[Mellow]

Was it as heavy as it looks?

We had to cut some trees and invasive schrubs on an island in a lake today.
Used a row boat to get out there.
For the first time since about forever we had a fine, clear day.
So going out there was a joy.
Thin layer of ice on the water, sunrise and no wind. Pretty....pretty!

Going out after lunch I slipped on the bank with one foot still on the boat. Boat went back out and I went completely under.
That made for a cold trip back to the truck and some dry clothes.
Fortunately I always have a bag with a set of dry clothes in the truck.

 

[Tree09]

Good save there with the extra clothes!!!!

 

[Mick!]

Bloody old fool!

My partner was, of course, laughing like a loon.

Always having dry clothes in the truck is a leftover from the years I spent working in rivers and waterways.
Taking the occasional dip was a given then, but that was in summer.

10 k

it was dented before I got there tree...😎

 

[Bermy]

Spare clothes for the win!

Cutting fallen trees on the fireline at night last week got pretty warm under all the turnout gear...bit chilly at night so a dry t shirt was lovely

Jim: Yer insane, man. Yer work is nuts. Well done man.

Stig: ... Dangit! Dang it all ta heck.

Corey: "Gangsta move" lol

My loader is close to together.
1/4" angle-iron reinforcement for the engine mounts.

Learning some new things about repairs from shop time with my neighbor.

Got 48" rails and a winch for my Alaskan mill. I've got some large cedar to mill. Was out of mill capacity before.

Need the loader to move logs and slabs, and gravel for leveling a drying area.

 

[Mick!]

Buggered it up today, dropped a branch which sprang up and rolled onto a phone line, broke a pole that was holding it and ripped the wires out of the junction box thing.

I have fixed up many phone lines but no weaseling out of this one, insurance claim, first in 14 years here.

 

[SeanKroll]

Nobody was hurt.

Forget the rest.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder what the price will be?

 

[Mick!]

Prolly around a grand, not that upset really, stuff happens.

 

[cory]

no weaseling out of this one,

Good on ya for not getting crazy about it. 6 or 12 or 18 months from now you won't remember what it cost you and even if you do, it won't show in your year end bottom line.

That's how I feel lately about losing jobs. I haven't lost one in awhile but if I do, it really doesn't matter, I'll be working on a different job instead of the one I lost and it won't show at year end. Ive got an 11k job hanging on by a thread due to extreme lateness. I'd like to do it but whether its that one or a different one, I'll be cutting trees so, meh.

 

[Jed]

Mick: Stuff happens. A man as diligent as yourself doesn’t even have to break a sweat over something like that.

Here’s a corroded Hemlock we did today. We also did a pine which I will try to post below.
