Ekka
must be painful man if you cant sit online and monitor us.stop sitting on the ice and put it in the glass fill it with jack and enjoy crimbo. got to fell sorry for mrs Ekka no joys of the season for her.hope you got her a good pressie

StrictlyPalms · 22nd December 2007, 12:42 PM

Glad you're all right Ekka,
That said, Boy are there some nice openings for jokes at your expense from the rest of the community.

====Jokes in poor taste====
First that comes to mind is something about the Doctor/Arborist getting his tools mixed up and bringing the stump grinder to the vasectomy!

Also, you could use this episode in your life to talk to the homeowners when you do quotes. When they tell you the price is too high, ask them if they say that to their doc, or do they just go with the lowest bidder. Also god forbid they tried to do their own Vasectomy!

And many more at Humor contents

All the best, and get well soon.

We re dead in the water as usual a week before and a week after the holiday. Couple of days ago I worked 8 hours in 20 degree weather and came home and fell unconscious asleep ( just like coming in from 100 degrees into A C) . Woke up and didn t know if it was day or night. Went back to sleep and didn t bring in the saws used that day from truck bed in driveway that goes 50 feet off road into a garage under the house. Somebody stoled my better of 2 echo power pruners, a less than 1 year old 020 and a 25 year old 064 that started and ran like new. Could of been worse if more stuff was in there but man did that hurt. Glad I m not paying 15 or 16 hundered for a 020 like you guys. Found I had 5 other 020 s that ran perfect that I got bored with. Nothing like a new one though. What s the temperatures like in Sydney? I was there once for a week in 1970 R and R from V Nam. It was damn cold but can t remember the month.

Ekka · 22nd December 2007, 05:14 PM

Jeez that's a sad story, 3 saws nicked and that amounts to more $'s than what busted ya for the day, sad.

Flogging a tradesman's tools is real low life stuff.

JayD · 22nd December 2007, 05:29 PM

It seems they watch like hawks, These lowlife, Thru the chipper will be the call if we catch them!...Sydney's weather today is beutiful,for how long well your guess is as good as mine..I know what you mean about unconcious type sleep, The world ceases to exist..Ohwell it's Xmas let's have a good one and let nothing spoil it for us, or our families.Merry Christmas To All and Have safe and prosperous new Year.
Merry Christmas
