I am back into the swing of things nutrition and training wise.I had six months to a year where I didn't, go often mainly due to the fact that after climbing or a heavy day cutting and moving timber I was tired.But I have had a second wind.Three years ago when I was contemplating giving up alcohol I needed a replacement for the pub.On my first day going up the staircase towards this gym I looked at this poster and thought one day I will realise I have become a new and improved me.I only ever wanted to lose weight and take my mind off drinking.Had a great two weeks back at it.Down to 98 kg now and getting stronger and stronger.Sleep improves...Tree climbing is easier than ever and groundwork just like Cardio .....I was always into Fitness as a kid and it has come full circle.Going to take the dog out now then get an hour in at the gym before a couple of small tree jobs.Happy days indeed.

And to anyone out there who is feeling lost or at a crossroads in life.It is never to late to make a change.Life is very short and every day is a blessing so don,t waste time with negativity or a Fake world.like a good work position,happiness is everything!

So I,ve had some nice work.Nothing permant but can pay my bills and treat my Grandchildren.That,s all I want out of life.I spend very little time on the internet but am spending more and more time around Trees which is really what I am all about.Even the Gym has taken a back seat in the last six months...until now.I am back there with a vengeance.And my nutrition has never been better.It was after all where the turning point in my life happened three years ago now.And for the first time since my 20,s I weigh under 100kg. (Weighed in at 99.7kg yesterday) This espresso is kicking in now so I shall vacate this rainy Macdonald's car park and continue this later.Have a great Friday Arbtalkers and climb safe??

It had a big stump on it too.This saw brings such a big smile to my face?
-
This was definitely one of the biggest Cherry trees I,ve been up....and it,s timber will be saved.
-
As much as I love climbing I enjoy the cutting trees up and chipping them as long as I have a machine that can keep up with production?
-
As I roll towards 52 i don,t think I have ever felt fitter or happier in my Treework.Even my trusty 200 has had a new lease of life! I can do every I need within the tree with it...and the 500i...or my Silky.

Not my fell.I just do the climbing.But it was millimetre perfect to the nearest target ??

Over a main entrance and the driveway to a busy stable.

I was glad when I got the crown out Twas blowing a gale and the tree was falling apart
-
I do enjoy a limb walk.

It,s was a great summer. My routine and lifestyle are very stripped down and basic these days.I watch no T.V,or read newspapers of follow any sort of news.I don,t tweet or do instagram.I,m just a happy Grandfather who loves Trees.I post a status on Facebook and enjoy reading Treework related posts but I will probably leave FB.It,s a natural progression my journey seems to be moving in.I have You tube if I want to listen to music (Orbital at the moment) or get some positivity from Buckin, Billy Ray or Reg.And of course Arbtalk will be on my homescreen for life???? Google is a very alien place to me with it,s news feed.Absolutely mind numbingly dumb it seems.A lot of brainwashing going on.Anyhoo...back to my real world.My mate kindly calls me his "go to climber" which is cool and these days the camera is on me.Mainly dismantled but I do enjoy them.

And I can catch up with my thread.?
-
Because it certainly isn't the food...I have no problem at all with working in the rain but when I have a free friday and I can hear it hammering down outside I really like to get up super early and drive.
-
So what brings me to this place at 2.42 a.m?
-
I love Autumn
-
This Tree is not alone?
-
To me it,s as magical as Spring....only more so!

My favourite season is upon us and happening all around??

Which Top Handle Chainsaw for use when Climbing
silky fox replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Chainsaws
Stihl 150T would be an ideal pruning saw to start with. Light,balanced and well built.[emoji106][emoji269] -
Hawthorn.I love watching it burn right down to embers...kicks out such a terrific heat[emoji7][emoji91]
-
Buckinghams[emoji654]️Geckos? now that, as the say...is a game changer! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
-
Very impressed with that Ian.Super home screen! Great video gallery and easy to navigate.I wouldn,t expect anything less from Target Trees[emoji106][emoji106][emoji269]

Nice work [emoji106] -
And my wheels (as well as my Silky) are all I need in desperate times! However today they just took me out into the woods around my city and to the place where I learnt to climb with a prussick.The college Beech Woodland.
