Had the look of it, for sure.
customer and his friend watched, everyone was nervous about me climbing it but there was no room to fall it, got it down to about a 50ft log and dropped it once we could, felt solid but obviously 2 separate pieces so it took a little extra care but overall it was a super easy tree

good time to replace that with a goodyear red rubber hose!
got 3 of the that are 8 years old and still on the original O rings, ran over with excavators, dump trucks, skidsteers, still look brand new, not cheap but so, so worth it

Shitty about the hose but it could have been wire fence.

Not our hose, not our problem. 800' of hose, in total, for one garden bed at the bottom of the driveway. If wasn't supposed to be in the field. They can trench in some poly, if they are so worried about it.

Went flying with my son early this morning. Mist from Niagara Falls 20 miles away going straight up. Never have seen it so tall of a column. Warm water, cold air. 45 this morning.
Great flight. Fort Niagara at the mouth of the Niagara River, power reservoirs on Canadian and American sides, and just flying over familiar areas for a cool perspective. Piper Super Cub.

I ran into my neighbor at a woodworking show this morning. He asked if I could hide, or repaint, the old owb, that he apparently has to look way deep behind my house to see. Deciding that painting it fluorescent orange may not have been what he had in mind, I endeavored to move the owb with my gmc. I attached a chain to the lifting eye on the top. I knew it was going to tip over easily, but wasn't going to go far once the leading edge dug in. It tipped effortlessly, then dug in, as expected, but I'd used a bit more Welly, as they say in some countries, and we were still in forward motion despite that. Looking back, I was greeted by an Indiana Jones situation. I was being pursued by a giant tumbling owb, but being chained to it, the harder I tried to escape, the harder it tried to run me down. Eventually, everthing came to a halt, with only the owb the worse for wear. I was then reminded of another favorite movie scene "it's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door..."

Waiting on a sunset maybe
going back for day 4 of a 2 day job tomorrow
would have been 2 days if the crane operator had set up where he needed to, he said "the hill is too steep" meanwhile its half as steep as a lot of what we set up on, and his crane has very long outrigger jacks, our normal operator wouldn't have cared but this is the same one that was problems at the last company he worked for, too bad we couldn't wait for our usual op to get off vacation, this guy had 2 rows of blocks on the lowest corner, refused to stack more and operated visibly out of level, last time he's ever stepping foot on my jobs, operated smooth and fast which I like
lots of rigging, done 7 loads of chips so far, one trailer load of brush to a burn pile, have one or two more loads tomorrow
I know I said I'd never sell my bandit, but its been pissing me off and the customer may or may not have offered half of what it'd cost me to get an 1890xp
got my shoulder absolutely smoked by this chunk, standing next to the branch manager using the bollards to lower stuff and a rather large piece swung down and this dead branch snagged the lowering line just right making it catapult about 40ft and hit me from ~60ft in the air, missed my helmet and everything, glad I didn't stand another 4 inches to the left, don't think it broke my shoulderblade but I had horrible pain in my left lung, shoulder, and hand for about 6 hours after that, not as bad now but it hurts to lift my arm above my head still, should be fine by morning if nothings broken
