Any other Floridians out there?

StrictlyPalms · 29th January 2008, 10:54 AM

I see Newguy is from Liveoak, about 2 hours north of Orlando where I am. Any other Floridians out there?
Specifically, any Floridians looking for a willing assistant over the summer? My work keeps me on the road most of the year but I get about 2 months during the summer where I have nothing to do, and I'd love to work for someone and learn at the same time.

Also, Orlando being the tourist destination that it is, drop me a line if any of you are ever in town and we'll grab a beer somewhere.

Well it's not Florida, but ya could come out here for the summer =)

Plenty of palms for you to slay in Southern Cali... lots of other work besides. WARNING.... it hits up to 120*F here in the summer though.. Makes it hard to keep working unless you cover up and drink about 3 gallons of water a day...

Yeah...I'm thinkin you should stick to Florida... Just thought I'd offer

Oh yes, that's 120*F in the *shade*, and you KNOW you won't be working in the shade....LOL

you lot must roast to death! I take it you dont wear chainsaw trousers or do you have special thin layered ones?

newguy18 · 5th February 2008, 07:13 AM

i don't wear any ppe.

arbdog · 5th February 2008, 07:31 AM

I sweat like mad in the summer but i couldnt be in the tree without correct ppe, It wouldnt feel right. Dont see how you cope with the heat!! do most others in florider wear chainsaw trousers?

newguy18 · 5th February 2008, 10:56 AM

i can't really tolerate the heat to much anymore so i'm moving in a few months.

StrictlyPalms · 5th February 2008, 01:51 PM

Having grown up in Chicago I got all the cold I could handle as a kid. Now at 38 I travel for a living and count the days until I can get home to the nice hot south. Even this time of year, its 81F which is perfect to me. I'll deal with the 90's in the summer by putting the top down on my 74 VW Thing.

One good thing about living in Florida is you can go to the beach and cool off!
There's always a breeze blowing there when it gets hot. At least it was that way when I lived in citrus county.

newguy18 · 5th February 2008, 03:36 PM

Therrin · 11th February 2008, 03:37 PM

Hah, i just realized something NG.... thermometers are supposed to be read in the shade! Not from the top of a roof =)

It'll be good having you out here in NorCal. You can let me know how them Redwoods are.

Not yet, I'm looking around though. There are quite a few companies locally and I might give some of them a call.... still early in the year yet, and I won't get off the road until late march-mid june.

Fort Bragg, nice place, good climate, better than up north here at Del Norte. Let me know when you get over here, we can go bust up a bar in Willits sometime.
So, what are you going to do for work, grow pot?
