Mmmm, wow, I go away for the day and look what happens =)

Yes, it was a groundie.
No, I didn't teach him.
The short form of the story is that I needed a trailer. He had one, and he runs his own "tree business"... and used to work for Kelley Tree Service out here. Normally this is scary, but I know the guy and I needed the truck and trailer for the day.

It being only his first time working with me I was watching him to see how he does things; and he spent most of his time holding it the "right" way. I even ended up using that hold a couple times throughout making all those cuts, so I won't say anything about that with him.

He ended up doing bar/chain swaps for me, and I noticed he checked the air filter, filled both tanks and didn't have any trouble with the tool-less caps. He looks comfy around a saw, didn't spill stuff all over the place.
I think he's okay so far. I might start picking him up more often for work.

The guy is an absolute mule too. He, Kyle, and I should make a really good crew.

Anyhow... Thanks for mentioning it though.
