Jeff Darby · 22nd March 2009, 08:49 PM

It's all good,

It was realised early on that the written text can easily be mis interperated on the net so before our emoticons were used people used lettered terms to show they were not meaning thing that were typed serious and laugh not fight in responce,eg: It's all good..

something you learn as you use the net to put your point of view across without starting a war...hopefully...LOL

Lets hear it.

I hope to have alot of new projects! Just bought a crane truck and trying to get information on log weights, prices to charge etc.

Life for tree companies in Cincinnati, Ohio is good and busy. lots of removals large and small, prunning and planting are picking up. Life is good for a guy just starting out climbing!

Welcome Wldbeaver. We are also hopelessly and happily buried in work.

newguy18 · 24th March 2009, 05:02 PM

Went and felled a large oak,went out with the senior forester and measured a large oak,and got in with a local land clearing company as a sub out climber/feller.

Treeson · 24th March 2009, 11:10 PM

Hey all, finally jumped back online.
Been doing the move thing and sorting all our crap out. Getting a few jobs round the place here and there. Only got a little Husqvarna .36 I borrowed off the neighbour, been running like a b#!%#&d so got a new fuel filter and spark plug to put in tomorrow. Just doing light pruning work at mo, possibly look into finding an employer after trip over to Canada in 3 weeks.

Climb safe

newguy18 · 26th March 2009, 11:59 AM

Scotty olson,ring any bells?

jim1nz · 27th March 2009, 05:33 AM

Haha sure does, Scotty is a crazy guy. Hope to catch up with him in NC, Charlotte climbing comp next week

flametree · 27th March 2009, 10:21 AM

Good morning Therrin,

I'd like to say I'm working on a hillside pocket of Huon Pine, but that'd be a fat load of BS!

In reality, I'm looking to hire an arborist in Queensland's, Gold Coast area to give my tree a health assessment, hair cut or last rights as maybe required.

Anyone local who thinks they know what my tree is and wants the job?

I'm off to post photos now.

Cheers for the welcome

Anne

Well hell,come on down to ocala april 21st,i'd like to meet you.

Therrin · 28th March 2009, 10:46 PM

Good to meet you Anne and welcome to Tree World!!

I'd take you up on your offer but I'm several miles shy of your location.
Several thousand.....several tens of thousands actually.

Hopefully there's one of the Aussies around here who'll be able to help ya out!

lpalta · 12th April 2009, 11:01 AM

Hey, I just updated my Big Tree, Long Story post from way back and started to catch myself up on what's happening over here. Awesome! Things are great; I have probably lived more than most trees and I have now discovered the land of blog. This summer I am striving to grow one humongous gourd, a lot of cantaloupes and whole bunch of stuff. Oh man, I have the most beautiful peony bush. I got it from a road side garden sale. Their bushes were massive and the flowers are such that they don't fall over. It was their first attempt at propagation. My bush grew a bunch the first year. But, I have two neighbors who share so I decided I too had to share. I forgot where I purchased it, so online instructions were to get a sharp knife, etc... Heck, I wound up hacking it into four clumps with a shovel. I thought for sure I had committed mass murder. I just looked today and all four groups have beautiful buds! I am going to wait until next year to share, I want to give them a good start. Right now they don't look like much--wish me luck. Love the Internet!!!

As far as work goes, just been splitting like crazy. Finished about 8 cords since the season started, and I've sold off about 5, but have another 4 or 5 to process.
I continually "harvest" from the forest to keep things going, and always wood that's already dead and seasoned but not rotted. Which, isn't always that easy. lol.

The other work calls have dwindled a bit, but I've still been doing alot of palms lately.

Scotty will be coming to Texas for the TCC at the end of may, why dont you get a ride with him to check it all out. Ill be there for sure with another mate from NZ. There are training workshops it you want too. The competition is great fun and you get a chance to test you skills against other climbers. Have you ever seen a TCC before?

treevet · 15th April 2009, 07:23 AM

I think.....it would be great to take up a collection to buy Bill a round trip bus ticket to the event and we get to see the picts.
Anyone....?

newguy18 · 15th April 2009, 12:35 PM

Actually Dave,i'm going to ocala,that is a climbers comp,i won't be competing but i'll take some pics nontheless.

Take a tripod!

Apocalypsse · 15th April 2009, 11:02 PM

oH what an awesome day, some clown stole the keys to the chipper... It took about 20 minutes to hotwire the chipper and keep it running. We had to rewire the ignition so we could stop the chipper turning itself off. New key at the earliest will be 11am tomorrow and that already puts us behind on 2 jobs.
