Bloody hell ekka sorry mate been that flat out I havent had the time to troll the forums.Like everyone else we at Coconet land have been flat out from mid Jan on.Plenty of nuts in trees and plenty of eucs that need removing or trimming with no end in sight at the moment.We have also been developing new nets for the largest commercial palms as well, all very interesting.

Took a couple hours off today to change the brake pads on a friend's truck,chevy's are a p.i.t.a but it gave me an excuse to buy another tool.

Justoon
You are developing nets so people don t get bonked passing under the trees?
We remove walnut trees or cut back as they can give a good bonk and even dent cars but I can imagine those trees would crash an auto or send a person to the hospital?

People get killed when cocnuts hit them on the head, they're bloody big. In the shops they've had the husk thing removed and you got just the round nut thing.

We dont have many coconut trees down here but when I was up there I was gobsmacked by the volumes of them and flamin coconuts everywhere.

In the place we were staying out that had signs everywhere, "beware of falling coconuts". We just picked a few up off the ground, the bloke there cracked the husks off and we had coconut 24/7 ... you know it's a laxetant! Well I didn't but found out.

did this big coconut palm cleanup at a large motel complex here,about 80 palms i was just getting the nuts and fronds down and their gardeners were cleaning up some of them had over a 100 nuts and the kitchen staff had a field day making all sorts over interesting drinks

funarty · 8th April 2008, 08:03 PM

I'm not shy just flat out at my new job.It's still hot during the days here and I'm still swimming most days.I had to pull over the sheet this morning as it was a bit cool!Love this time of year just wish it would rain! The ground is drying up again and I'll have to start watering soon.I love the green garden! Hope all is well and Peter has started with the tree men! So I may get to learn the ropes! Climbed my fig out the front and hurt my back!!! Ah well such is life

Hope all is well and will be finished the logo in the next few days hopefully.

newguy18 · 8th April 2008, 08:35 PM

What did you do to your back?I pinched my sciatic nerve twice and until i got a back pad for my saddle it put pressure on the nerve everytime i climbed.

funarty · 8th April 2008, 08:41 PM

Stuffed if I know just hurts like hell down my right side of my spine when I bend and getting up from sitting down.

Just what I need!!!

newguy18 · 8th April 2008, 08:43 PM

Upper or lower?when i pinched the nerve it was on my right side just an inch or so above my butt.The second time i almost couldn't walk.

Ekka · 8th April 2008, 08:56 PM

Crikey, you gotta go easy. Your body aint used to all that tree climbing.

Warm bath with the ole epsom salts and massage, most likely muscular and pinched nerve.

Anyone up there in the "nature healing" scene practice Bowen Therapy? Out of all that mumbo jumbo including acupuncture and chiro ... that's the treatment that I swear by.

funarty · 8th April 2008, 08:58 PM

Yer on top of hip,walkings hard!But ok when you warm up!

funarty · 8th April 2008, 08:59 PM

I know and I'm old and fat!!!

Ekka · 8th April 2008, 09:01 PM

I get like a pain travels all the way from my butt to my toes down the RH leg. Like some-ones got a pair of long nose pliers trying to reef a vien out or something.

Last a few days then pisses off, generally happens after a decent climb when I've had a break.

I use beer to fix it.

funarty · 8th April 2008, 09:03 PM

yer me too If I drank!!!

Tobe Sherrill · 11th April 2008, 08:16 AM

I'm dong fine and hope the same for everybody in "the WORLD", Tree World that is. Several of us only recently emerged from the dungeon where we cobbled together a new cattledog so I'm seeing a little cross-eyed right now. Perhaps i should shuttle down to the local pub and spill one of my favorite refreshments; a VB or Fosters Premium perhaps.

best to all!
