You know your a Tree Surgeon when...

[Buzz]

When your driving and the wife tells you your driving on the verge and to keep your eyes on the road because your looking at a tree!

 

 

Or in my case we crash because we are both looking at the same tree lol !

[Jack-Arb aka Tiago Sinclair-Julio.]

Hi guys,

 

Around the first few serious jobs, up in the top of a tall tree a sudden thought strikes your mind, something like - f1ck1ing hell do I want do this for a living? The ones who overcome the shakiness sensation of blowing in the wind along with the tree and execpt that a chainsaw + rope are going to become really good friends of you! Once one's ok with this crucial fact, and execpt it - then yes you are tree surgeon.

 

This is more or less what happened to me!!!

I can count on two fingers what I have damaged in the last six years, one pane of greenhouse glass and one telephone wire

BORING!

 

 

 

BORING BORING BORING!

 

 

how about,

 

you leave a trail of sawdust around the house,

 

You cant stop looking at trees when your driving around, and say to the wife / partner 'terrible work that'

 

you have erotic dreams about climbing equipment

 

you keep your car keys on a carrabiner

 

your chainsaw boots are the envy of all the local Goths in the pub

 

You spend 'quality time' on arbtalk:001_tongue:

 

That's being a GEEK! do you not know?

[Dean Lofthouse]

when the choice is your marriage or a nice new tracked MEWP and you come home with the mewp

[penfold]

you pack your climbing gear for a weekend away because you never know;

 

you visually inspect a tree before parking your battered land rover/transit/ldv/mog underneath it

[KB76]

You can spot the sound of an 020 5 mile away.

When you get excited 'cause someone's given you a keyring as a gift and its a tiny metal stihl chainsaw complete with moving chainbrake.

 

When you've gone to a car show in a friends classic car and the first thing you do is look up and suggest they park somewhere else 'cause the mature tree they've just parked under if full of dead wood.

 

When more than one of the books in your pile of bed time reading is about trees.

 

When you're booked to go to a major VW rally the same weekend as someone organises a climbing weekend and without hesitation know you'd rather be climbing trees!

When you think about changing your career:closedeyes:
