And more recently used this interesting set up for a dismantle which was fun.

I get plenty of climbs...with the 161

I almost can't keep up with events in my life right now.By the end of this year I am pretty sure my situation will be the polar opposite in every single way to that of my first post on this thread....I've always been quite a solitary person when not at work only opening up when I was trying to show what I liked to do through this blog but I guess I am back to lurking in the background.Biding my time until a very special date.I am however having one of the best years when it comes to Tree work.I get picked up right at the bottom of my street.I work locally to the North East and with someone i have teamed up with many times in the past.I have hit a sweet spot when it comes to my health and fitness and also celebrated my 53rd Birthday which I celebrated with a long cycle.I am riding between 15-20 miles a day on my old faithful Raleigh.

They are indeed an Amish product.After starting with a Willans full body harness I had a couple of Weavers......nowadays i am very happy to have paid for what is certainly an impressively crafted harness too The Evo TM.Teufelberger like ART products are reassuringly expensive as they say.
-
So far...so good.
-
Nice looking Meat Feast there Youngsbury! [emoji200][emoji233][emoji207]
-
I've been looking forward to this! At last🙂
-
Early Birthday present.
-
Simple to remove..
-
So handy having a screen on my bike.
-
Tasty stuff...and perfect for a Saturday cycle.
-
It was just me doing the job on my own and the builder brought it in for me.Made the job very easy.
-
This time last year I had a Skinhead[emoji69]
-
I love the sight of Wind Turbines! Especially like that.
-
I have spent most of the last 12 months refining my fitness and diet and I have found my nutritional sweet spot.Healthiest I have ever felt in my life.I've even planned out the rest of my life😉 Have a great Weekend Arbtalkers!
-
It' s my Birthday in two days time and what I would really like is a haircut 🤣🤣✂️✂️ But that ain't happening....but I will settle for a vaccination which is later this afternoon.Something that I am looking forward to a great deal.So this morning I have been keeping myself busy.Before my bike ride I have done some baking.All Organic ingredients.Almond bread.
-
Tricky bit done just as the Sun came out and the wind died down.One for the road....That was a good day.
-
I will always love my 200T and take it to every job but for the last 3 or 4 years I have increasingly used battery saws for crown work.
-
And the 220 was only used for two cuts....The 161T really is my favourite climbing saw.
-
Everything else is going to be dropped into the yard and kept by the owner(Except the Ivy😁) and can be left where it lands.
-
Got to crown break on 2 small Stihl 200 AP batteries.And as the wind began to really pick up the Mewp was ready to move out of the way and get picked up.
-
But I was ready for a coffee when I came down.The lad who lived on the top floor was an Italian who was furloughed and he made possibly the best Espresso I have ever tasted.(He removed his mask for the photo😷) 😁
-
And other than two cuts everything was done with the 161T
-
By the Halfway mark I was well into a rhythm
-
The platform was very smooth and controllable.
