Gerry Beranek - The Fundamentals of General Tree Work

What a bloke! I really enjoy hearing interviews with him. -
Possibly the best news since March happened the day after.And really quite mind blowing the more I think about how shielded I have kept my folks in our home and careful we have been.The three of us have only been outside together maybe two or three times but this time I was able to welcome them back from a visit to the clinic where they had their second final shot of Covid Vaccine.I am grateful,as are the entire family that they were fortunate enough to be called in.On a personal level this has filled me with so much hope and happiness.

So what to do for the rest of the day? Well,I did recieve a letter asking me to arrange an appointment to come for a jab.I didn't realise that I had reached that age yet??? But apparently I am now officially "old"😳🧓 My parent who I have been caring for the last 10 months or so both had a Covid jab over Xmas.My father was a research chemist as is my brother.In fact my sister in law and niece are also in Pathology research so I am happy to put my trust in Science and medical advances especially during recent events.The sooner my family and I are protected and hopefully the world follows...the sooner I can know my folks are safe and I can get on a plane😉....According to the nurse I will join the other over 50's around April but in the meantime it's just for Flu....Stay safe Arbtalkers.👍

No tidying up to do or timber to move....Just cones and our own vehicles.Simple but very enjoyable morning and I shall be learning more online and inspecting trees myself over the coming weeks.

While I am here I hope to be more and more involved in this kind of work.

Notch Acculine made it easy to install the main anchor.I used Zing it and Liros magic speed for a long time but I think the Notch has become my favourite Its light and strong with little stretch when pulling up a rope a long way.
