Time flies fatdog, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

Well I must say things here in Georgia has been pretty dry. We have started to receive some rain but not close too what we need. We have a lot of pines here
and this dry weather is really hard on them.

I must say that I really enjoy this site and have found alot of good info. on here.
Some of you may find this had to believe but I'm 64 yrs old and two years ago I started my on Tree Service,I do my on climbing. Found that is a good
way to stay in shape.

Not tongue-tied, just have nothing to say.

Daveindubuque · 16th February 2008, 08:49 PM

Got the winter blues.. We had 2 feet of snow in Iowa. Then it melted. Winter over? Nope. Got another foot, and tonight we are to get another!

O well so much for global warming eh. My wife treats me good. She keeps me headed on the right path. Daughter is 18 yr. old. Trying to make her way in the world. The friends I have are the ones too have. Not always able to get on the computer. But it is nice to have a place to go when I am able to.

Hi Ekka,

things are going fine down on the coast, although this constant rain is a bit of a pain in the ass re; keeping working. I never thought that I would be complaining about rain this time last year! It does look fine and green everywhere at the moment though, something that was really missing from Victoria when we moved up here last year.
Had a good day out with family today at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, an excellent spot.

jacko · 17th February 2008, 03:31 AM

hey ekka all going well down here and but showers won't piss off.so i can't get stuck into block clearing jobs. Save a cat out of tree the other day. Also about start another new guy.

Ekka · 17th February 2008, 03:46 AM

Oh, finished lurking have ya.

See, wasn't that hard to post something.

Did you get the cat easily or did it keep climbing higher up the tree?

Yeah, plenty of rain, now it's starting to piss everyone off. LOL

oldsouth · 17th February 2008, 05:57 PM

Must not have payed much attention until now. Had a post just for me. Well the weather has been great!! we are in the middle of feb and it is in the 70s. I have also got to enjoy our newest and final addition to the family. A little girl. that make a total of three 2 girls one boy

I have just recently wanted to get more serious with my climbing. unlike the other sports I have done (scuba, kiteboarding and windsurfing) it depends on factors to do them. with tree climbing get to enjoy mother nature. I have been climbing for about 4 years but never wanted to advance until I got in with a tree company on the weekend for little extra cash for the new addition. so that is a little about myself. hope yall are not to bored

Brooks

ps great site excellent information and has already helped my climbing
