Rainy, stormy day and usually money is spent with abandon, but the Mrs. talked me into buying a new (just used) car (not saying how) to replace one has been nickling and diming us to death. Please stop raining tomorrow.

Ain't no more relaxing place in the world than laying under a truck doing nothing, making like you re doing something.

That 1st vid you could hear saw and see branch break away and fall but could not see any Acemaster up there cutting in second vid.

Anyway it is pouring and storming here again. Mass backed up with work. All kind of people pissed at me for not getting there prior to some other project that is pending on my work completion. Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh

I'm half blind anyway Ace Master.

Like you John, got people mad at me for not getting there. We went out yesterday and got soaked 3 times. Got job done though. Went to play some racquetball after work and heard booms while in court. On way home saw a pickup crushed, huge trees laying on wires, houses slammed, emergency vehicles all over and half the city at least is without electric.

Now I got 20 sales calls to make and the work is more backed up and it is the real dangerous under pressure storm work. Only good part is it is time to kick up the hourly rate to a ridiculous rate. Good time, as just bought a nice new Beemer station wagon. Oh and it is going to be 92 degrees and over 90 humidity today.
