Spent yesterday and today getting several places done.
Rented a Dosko 25hp chipper for it all, due to lack of tow capacity with my little Tacoma pickup.

Ugh... that thing is a real piece of crap after using the 120hp Bandit 95.
It kept the guy's *busy*, and working hard all day at that.

The 011 took a 65' dive today, and somewhat resembled a hand grenade with its pieces exploding all over the place upon impact.
What a good little saw it had been. 22 years was a good full life for it.
R.I.P. 011

The new-guy is a hard worker, intuitive, and can probably out-bench me. He came from the oilfields in Colorado, where they obviously instilled good work habits in him. I really lucked out with that one.

Going to teach him to use saws soon.

Hey, does anyone know where that List went of all the things a groundie should know and be familiar with???
