You like palms huh! I'm trying to get into em too but am a bit limited as to what I can grow and tho I'm good with trees I'm lost with palms. Its like starting from scratch again, theres so many and they tend to look alike,lol.
Ever visited Palmtalk.org?

I have dubbed that "playing the key game" it comes in all sorts of forms (there is also a "playing the wallet game" version.

I have done what you did. I got a lot of keys and here are "some" of them. I have 3 full sets and still play the key game all the time.

Treevet, I hope you are in a good mood , because I think you need a vacation. Go fishing and come back and tell us how your 2 weeks went!
Can't wait to hear what you caught, Jeff

Life is a vacation to me. I love this job and I love this time of year.

On second thought...are you giving me a paid vacation Jeff?

newguy18 · 16th April 2009, 03:46 PM

Vacation?What's that?I started full time for another tree service,and run my own show on the weekends.

Therrin · 16th April 2009, 08:41 PM

Well you've had enough time off in the last couple years Bill, you shouldnt be up for another vacation in ...oh, 5 years or so.

Damn! That's alot of keys TreeVet!!!

kieren · 17th April 2009, 12:37 AM

It is a system that works. Or most of the time works. All color or shape coded and snaps on the big key ring and count them during or at the end of the day.

Ahh who cares about the footlock, thats just one of five events and its one worth the least points! If ya can climb trees with out spikes, then you can climb in a comp. Come on!

I climbed in some contests in the seventies and everybody feels that way the first time. Almost always you will surprise yourself with how well you do if you put the time in before the event. It just has to make you a better climber from the whole experience. You're a young guy, good time to start. You did the historic tree climb, this is a natural next step.

I will donate the first $5 bucks for bus fare, etc. if you will go.

newguy18 · 17th April 2009, 03:21 PM

I'm going to the comp in ocala next saturday anyway,just to have some fun,not sure about going to texas yet,if its on a weekday it won't be possible.

man, it is light late. after work find a big oak and work out in it. that is what I did back in the day. I also got myself down to 147 lbs at 6 feet tall.

Therrin · 18th April 2009, 10:48 AM

I'm looking for a tree in Bakersfield that I can practice some new climbing techniques on.

*gasp!* Ken's thinking about trying footlocking, and using a split tail!

Might never happen though, the trees around Bakersfield really suck.
