We got this little spray rig ready to start doing some fertilization today. 1960 s vintage still does just what it did when new.

I had to put these up. My son walks up to trees & posts for that matter and says "climb tree". Looks like I'm going to have to teach him a thing or two about PPE.

Ah, leave him alone, he has the rest of his life to develop a understanding of the rules. The best thing for guys his age is to explore and learn life lessons that his dad did.

Great photo!

That s cute.

I was working in front of a elementary school one saturday and a kid a little bigger than your son came up on his scooter.

Whatrya doin up there? Pruning the tree. Whatrya doin that for? To get dead branches out so they don t hit anybody. What else ya doin? Thinning the tree out so wind blows through and it functions better.

He thought about for a couple of minutes, then he looked up at me and said
"i m comin up"...Me and the GM were cracking up.

Here s a stump of an 80 foot (measured by bucket) locust we took out yesterday. It was 15 ft from a house not in picture. When the stump was set down it fell apart. I d rather have a yard of pit bulls next to me than that tree.

Here s a few picts of a pretty street we worked on today. We maintain the trees on the property with the roofed pillars.

Hey teevet, I think it might be time to get a box liner for your truck. We've seem a lot of photos of the inside of the box. If you put a liner in there, you could charge the company for advertising and keep the cost of your weekend retreat down.
