    I have been hansen for about a year and I'm a big loser and haven't changed the signage on the truck yet.

    Best wishes from here as well.

    In the US we have Veterans day which is Nov. 11 which honors all that served or are currently serving. We have Memorial day at the beginning of the summer which honors those who died in service.

    Here is a couple of pictures I took while cleaning my Barn Owl nesting box. It has been up for 4 years and has had a nesting pair every year. I try to clean it out this time of year and the owls start nesting about Christmas time through mid summer.

    Here are my grinders. The towable one is a Vermeer 2465 with a 3-cyl Deutz motor. It works real good if you have access. Like I have said before it hasn't moved for 2 months, maybe longer. The third picture is a 2500-4 Carlton which has a 25 hp Kohler engine. I think it's a pretty good grinder. It is 35" wide so it will get most places and 25 hp isn't bad. It won't compare with the newer tracked grinders. I use the Carlton about once a week.

    That quote in your signature is pretty good. Squish, was that you hitting me in the emoticon?

    I don't want to get all technical, but the majority of the world's oxygen production comes from plants, alage, and plankton growing in the ocean.

    It looks like the squirrel is doing a pull-up. Intresting Burnham. Not enough declining trees because it has been logged? Do you guys ever put nest boxes up?

    I have a disk chipper and I touch up the blades 3 or 4 times in the chipper with a hand grinder and then one of those carbide knife sharpeners that you draw down the blade. Then I send them off to be sharpened at an Industrial sharpening place for $32

    What does the wildlife habitat work entail Burnham?

    Here is a job we did on Friday. We finished in the dark so I couldn't get any pictures. 1 maytan tree and 3 leyland cypress trees.

    Nice bit of kit there mate! Oh, that's right, I'm not British. Lookin good DTW. I've rented a towable spider a couple of times and they worked awesomely.

    Are the differential locks original equipment?

    Just so you Brits don't think we are ignoring you here is a job we did about a month ago. This was a dead cypress tree. The wood looks huge and it was, but it wasn't very heavy as that wood is light anyway and being dead was even lighter.

    Here is a couple of pictures of some scrub oaks that are shaped into a kind of a cylinder with a rounded top. They are at a motel and we trim them every 6 months using a stihl hedge trimmer.

    About the only people that request a ISA certification over here are the goverment entities. The test is not super difficult and you do have to do the CEUs.

    Maybe it's our turn to be the invaders.

    Here is pictures of a job we did on Wednesday. The pics turned out kind of dark as they were in super bright sun and on the first picture the sun was a little to the front of me and in the second pic the scene was in the shadow of the building. It was some kind of pine and was located at a restaurant on a very busy road with traffic backed up by us most of the time. The tree was about 15' taller than my bucket goes and I blocked down the top and the trunk until I got down close enough to the ground that I could let the chunks drop without hurting something. Also I had to rig down most of the branches as the drop zone was quite small. It took us 4 hours.

    If you have a welder you can weld a nut to the head of the bolt and use that to remove the bolt.

    I didn't know he was looking.
