Man the spanish are bad around here too,they think its funny to insult you in
spanish.One insulted me once,not gonna say what he said but i busted his nose right in front of 6 of his friends right there in walmart.All his friends could think to say was"how did you know what he said?"I found out later what it meant but all i know was he was bad mouthing me.

Therrin · 20th July 2008, 02:24 PM

"Sticks and stones" Bill.

Badmouthing your family is different. If you did that in a walmart here you'd have gotten arrested.

Think of it like water rolling off a duck's back man. And in any tense situation, the occasional shouted "yo tengo un grande gato en mi pantalones biatch!" will confuse them enough to defuse the situation. =)

Anyone else standing nearby will laugh. It's a guaranteed result. It's amazing what you can learn from watching "Blue Streak".

Now where do they advise you to "turn the other cheek"?

newguy18 · 21st July 2008, 05:39 AM

Around here some of them will gana[g up on you and beat you to a pulp if you turn you back on them.However the good ole boy system is in place so basically the cops are racist.

Well 'nuff said.

SO ANYWAYS!!! HOW ARE THE REST OF YOU DOING???

Oh, NG, sorry I havent been returning calls. I've been getting home around midnight almost every night. Which is like 3am your time.

Looks like that big palm that was "supposed to be coming up" has finally called back. Well, the owners anyway =P
What is your guy's opinion on best type of chain for cutting palms? I beleive its close to 30" dbh. All I've got to use on it is the 361.

phill ellison · 22nd July 2008, 01:30 AM

it bloody poured down here today so we spend a bit of time spliting firewood inside our workshop( good for the old arms), but we did get a few jobs done when the weather cleared abit

Did a demo for the kids at my kids school. Dead wooding a couple of Pseudoplatanus. My groundy did the talking and answering questions

I'm not very good at that sort of stuff. Every kid there wants to be a tree surgeon now. F A N T A S T I C

It was a bit of a show and tell for my lads, how popular they are now

Sounds great, TS!

I climbed 3 straight full days with a tautline hitch and not once did it bind up, and only slipped a little a few times.

Good on you, it's important kids today realise that it's Ok to work physically for a living too!

treevet · 23rd July 2008, 04:51 AM

I agree and it is great if you ve got the chance to do the demo at school, too. I also did the "dad's job at school" with the whole school of 4, 5, and 6th graders and teachers said it was the best accepted yet. Bucket, chipper, climbing gear, pumper spraying, polechainsaw and 090 making plenty of noise and a number of them came up to say they wanted to do that job when older. Ofcourse they've gone to become office prisoners since then but it got some respect I think.
