Welcome .....

Drouin Tree Service · 2nd December 2007, 01:11 PM

New guys!

Urbicide · 2nd December 2007, 04:27 PM

Hello To All

I have just finished reading the entire Welcome thread. Seems to be safer to get a feel to what is going on before you say something. (Don't ask me how I know that.) Lots of familiar "faces" from AS. Plenty of new faces to me too. Newguy18 sent me the link to the site, and by the looks of things I am not the only one! Say Ekka, do you have newguy18 on the payroll? You have a pretty nice site here. Took me about 3 cold ones to get to the end of the welcome thread alone. Seriously though, I look forward towards absorbing some of the knowledge expressed here. I do enjoy learning about other cultures and making friends in other parts of the world is pretty cool to me.

Take care.

Vince U.

newguy18 · 2nd December 2007, 04:31 PM

Glad you and others decided to join us and no I'm not on payroll.

Urbicide · 2nd December 2007, 04:42 PM

Well newguy18, I am so tired that I can't think of any snappy lines for you so I think I'm going to check out my pillow.

Urbicide · 2nd December 2007, 04:50 PM

Wait, I just thought of one. My Dad's favorite line to me...........

"Don't do anything dumb!"

He sure knows how to take the fun out of a lot of fun things.

There.

Nite Y'all.

Eric Frei · 2nd December 2007, 10:01 PM

Hi Ropensaddle, Urbicide.

Treeguy's not on commission, he's on a mission from God.

Reading the whole Welcome thread, wow, that'd take a long while. Nice to see you guys drop in, I mainly hang here and AS a little, I do a few SEO and Web style forums when I need to.

It's into summer here and real hot ... you guys prolly freezing ya azzes off over there. So swapping pics is kinda fun, my kids never seen snow!

TrevMcRev · 3rd December 2007, 07:57 PM

dannyboysfc · 5th December 2007, 06:05 PM

Another new guy here, from Central Coast of California. I found this site through the Brisbane Palm and Tree Service Site, which I believe is Ekka right. Some good videos over there

Happy to be a part of Tree World now.

Eric Frei · 5th December 2007, 06:13 PM

Way to go Danny.

That pic in ya sig would also make a good avatar, try it.

Lots of videos here too mate, hmmm, I been a bit slack and not put them on my website as much since running this joint.

dannyboysfc · 5th December 2007, 06:34 PM

Thanks for the tip Ekka, that pic is of my first removal using spikes. I just started climbing a couple of months ago.

shaggs · 5th December 2007, 09:48 PM

A good addiction to have.

Welcome to TW all...

nico demo · 8th December 2007, 08:16 AM

hey everybody, how is everyone? I'm the new guy until someone else signs up. Happy to be here, I've read some of the recent posts. You seem like my kind of people.
So somthing I was thinking about... school and books aren't enough to perfect a practicing arborist. I own a tree care company, but i want to learn more than just what the trees tell me. Although they say alot.
I NEED A MENTOR, i think? God knows professors can't relate to us folks in the field(no offense). I want to hang out with some dude that can answer all of my questions about arboriculture, and they are never ending...

sincerely nico demo.

P.S. Detective Dendro! are you out there?

Eric Frei · 8th December 2007, 08:20 AM

Denro's out there alright ...

Take lots of pics ... ask lots of questions, that's the best way to practically learn.

Welcome aboard.

D Mc · 8th December 2007, 09:35 AM

Hi Ekka and everyone else here.

I found this site through a link and am so glad I did. I spent the last several days snooping around and you have managed to provide a monstrous amount of helpful information that is very easy to access. Thank you.

Nico Demo, regarding the desire for a mentor. Keep at it. I have mentored many climbers and because it takes so many years to become proficient in this dangerous profession, I wished mentoring was part of the game plan. It can definitely save you some heart aches, not to mention bruises, stitches, gashes, money out of pocket...gray hair.

Good luck with that. I'm just glad to be here, or to have found here.

D Mc

newguy18 · 8th December 2007, 10:07 AM

I wish I had a mentor when I did my first tree [shortley before I found tree forums].I would have saved me a lot of grief,close calls and of course gray hairs and chest pains.

Therrin · 8th December 2007, 10:11 AM

I can't claim the grey hair part, but certainly bruises, gashes, blood, wasted-time....

Wait.. isn't that part of the learning process?

newguy18 · 8th December 2007, 10:19 AM

I used to give blood while working now I try and save it for the blood drives.

D Mc · 8th December 2007, 10:28 AM

Wife of D Mc here...

Actually, David told me when I first started working with him (over 20 years ago) that you can't mind the bumps, bruises and slow bleeding wounds; they just go with the job. Yep, no sympathy and still married. But what a GREAT job!

S Mc

newguy18 · 8th December 2007, 10:34 AM
