You know you're an Arborist when...

treevet · 11th July 2008, 05:35 AM

When you fire the lawn bcs they dinged one of many new trees and killed it as borers got into it (they did). You won't let the wife and son do it either although you are too tired to mow as you know they will do it too.

Your garage of basement is full of saws and power tools as you worry they will be stolen if you try to leave at business.

.....when you'd talk to an axe murder if he was a tree guy on TW rather than talking to Skippy the neighbor who is an accountant.

When you crack up thinking what if......the series on tv instead of being called "Axe Men" instead was called "Ice Axe Men" and starred non other than our "Aerial", that quirky, fun luvin guy we all know and love and was a situation comedy in cartoon form dropping trees on power lines, houses, and each other.

What a whacko movie that was, blood thirsty SOB's they were.

treevet · 11th July 2008, 08:21 AM

I think we should start a thread on movies and trees, I gotta get back to hackin' or I would. Maybe later.

treevet · 11th July 2008, 03:07 PM

Had some pretty cool trees in Predator I too. Maybe no tree/movie thread, but maybe a movie thread in "unrelated chat". I saw a real stinker Sunday called "Hancock". It started out stupid and switched gears to real stupid when the girlfriend all of a sudden got super powers too like Will Smith......Miss it if you can.

Oh since this is my 333 rd post i guess that means I'm half evil.

I think this is an old post but I wanted to say that you may be " half evil ...333",

but you are 100% funny! You should bottle that humor and sell it.

The world needs smiles.

God Bless.

When you empty 4 or 5 chainsaws into the lawn mower and you're good to go.

treerat · 24th July 2008, 07:45 PM

When you stop after work at the local gas station to get a drink and reach into your pocket and you get a handful of sawdust and money mostly saw dust though.

when the wife sees the bruises and scraps on your legs and arms and asks what happen??DUH I worked today honey nuff said

when you go back to a town you haven't been to in a while and remember the trees but don't remember the street names

when most of your t-shirts in your drawers have something to do with trees and /or saws

newguy18 · 24th July 2008, 10:47 PM

When at the end of the day,theres more sawdust than money in your wallet.

When you've taken a chainsaw apart in your bedroom cause you've just got to have it for a big job tommorrow[been there].

aphid · 25th July 2008, 01:25 AM

you can't actually see the tree untill you've identifyed the tree

JohN Dee · 25th July 2008, 05:54 AM

You know you're an Arborist when you constantly get sawdust under the cover of your mobile(cell) phone.

You know you're an Arborist when you'd prefer to get a bigger chipper then a better car.

kiwi_tree_steve · 25th July 2008, 06:13 AM

when you dont see a tree you see a living organism

treevet · 25th July 2008, 06:25 AM

You......when you think lawnmower (growth regulators) damage to street trees is the singular biggest issue in your town and nobody else sees it.
