the 'todays job' thread

Had an interesting 6 days this week planning a future work trip.

Inspecting the kit, training location and felling sites to instruct the Royal Bermuda Regiment on all things chainsaw related, mainly to deal with storm damage.

We will be back for two weeks in October (Hurricane Season) to put our money where our mouth is.

Also had the time to scout the location of the Juniperus Bermudiana (endemic solely to Bermuda) for a colleague in the UK who is in charge of the UK National Pinetum (the largest collection of coniferous trees in the world) as he doesn’t have this species on site.

Not all work, plenty of good food and rum with the fantastic company of two military aids.

I don't seem to get much time for pics or vids these days but here's a little piece of wood from this week

Nice weather for it as well!

Honking great Sitka on a frosty spring morning. First serious outing with my crisp new MS200T. All new parts except the crankcase, my god what a saw! 

 

I will open up the muffler and give it a retune. I bought it from the States for about £600.

I lent my climbing kit to a mate so that he could go and earn £250 on a piss easy takedown. Meanwhile, I pruned an apple tree while kicking a ball for a collie for £60 and dinner. I'm not sure I'm a very good businessman.

See all that snow melting?

Emissions from that saw, that’s why.

Apart from the ivy, what was so bad about it?
