I've pulled a few people out of snow banks over here.........I just make 'em sign a waiver first. 'If in the process of me recovering your vehicle, I happen to damage/pull part of your vehicle off, tough $hit, you can't come after me for damages'. Some old dear in a Merc gave me a 'Benjamin Franklin' a couple of weeks ago after I got her back on the road (during that storm that covered Long Island in 26" of snow, she had reversed outta her drive and into a shallow ditch).......she was so thankful. And when she heard my Brit accent, I got her life story and how much she loves the Queen, but hates Camilla.

$200 for a seasoned cord of wood (8'x4'x4') and $150 for green wood. Stacking and going up 'n' down any stairs is extra.

That quote was George Orwell, not Churchill.

One day in the future, George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you", says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got some folks here who you may recognise, they weren't quite as bad as you, so I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll show you where they are kept and you decide which place you would like to stay in". Bush thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the first room. In it was Ronald Reagan and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No!", George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long." The devil led him to the next room. In it was Richard Nixon with a sledge hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No! I can't do that, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day", commented George. The devil opens a third door. In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Bush smiles in disbelief and says, "Yep!, This is the place for me alright!" The devil smiles and says, "OK Monica, you're free to go."

Dr. Livingstone I presume? Excellent Mike!

Are you for real?

Why....what's wrong with the Mexicans?

I have a set of 35" on my Ram 2500......great tyres, but they're not cheap.....just over $1300. I had the earlier tread pattern on the last set and got almost 3 yrs out of them. But, you get what you pay for and it does make recovering a mud bound chipper on a building site a walk in the park with 'proper' tyres on.

I have one of these...-Fallkniven- Mod. F1

Lagavulin.

If someone threatened my wife and child with a knife in my home......I know it would be a race between me and the mrs as to who picked up a gun first and shot him dead. The cops would come 'round, clean up the mess.......and say thanks, saves us doing it (and that is quoted verbatim, from a cop I worked for a couple of weeks ago).

The justice system in the UK is WRONG, plain and simple. If it were right, all you good, hard working people wouldn't be getting robbed all the time, would you? I've said it before and I'll say it again.......the robbing and thieving is only gonna stop when those involved are met with force and lethal force at that. That thieving little **** might think twice about going out the next night if he saw his friend getting shot dead when he broke into some poor bastard's house the night before. The police don't help either. Why bother trying to nick the burglar? He won't get a custodial anyway.....let's go after the home owner, he's here cricket bat in hand, victim at his feet.....yeah, let's nick him, nice and easy and a GBH rap is alot more juicy than a burglary one......

Either Bodie or Doyle.

Not bad, not bad at all......have 2 El Salvadorians now, every now and then one of my old guys (a Mexican) comes in to help out too. My old climber (a Guatemalen) buggered off onto a railway line clearance crew....so I won't be seeing him again anytime soon. The guy in the bucket in those pics used to work for Asplundh, so he knows his stuff and is very capable of thinking on his feet and getting 'it done'.

I eat what my crew eats.....mainly Mexican or some other Latino food that they come back with. Taste good to me though!

The temp here at the moment David is about 3*C and it can't make it's mind up whether to snow or sleet/rain. Just glad we got that white oak finished yesterday. And why don't you help get me started in my SB importation endeavour by..........importing some to me!

Can't be arsed to put 'em up again here, so... The Official Work Pictures Thread - Page 677 - The #1 HARDCORE arborist forum, bar, and grill - Enjoy the buffet and libations!

Well said Andy!

Where's the job Al?

Dodge, NOT Chevy. Joking aside, have you looked at a Dodge Dakota.....or Ram?

Pretty much sums it up really, eh?
