stupid things you do!

pulling my pruning saw out of the sawpod by accident and nearly catching my climbing line. Done it about 10 times this week in some dense limes, i'm gonna catch the rope sooner or later...!!

 

DON'T temp fate pablo, someone up there might think you WANT to cut your rope, 11 times lucky!

 

What about pulling your rope out of the tree and forgetting to take the bowline out first, having a wonderful climb all the way back up the top to pull it out of that nice tight 'V' it's stuck in. Only ever did it once. If you don't learn from your mistakes, then there's no point in making them!

I was topping off the hydraulic tank for my boom truck and put in degreaser instead of ATF (they look identical). Got to the job and the boom started acting funny then froze up and wouldn't move. Had to change the oil in the system 4 times to get it all out.

Waiting for top soil delivery, customer out. Desperate for a dump. Dig a little hole in the border, no worries 5 ton of top soil going there anyway.

Drop jocks, cop a squat.

During the main event I'm eyeballing the house, as you do, only to clock a CCTV camera looking straight at me.

I can't say for sure wether they watched their tape back but they never called me in for other work!
