    That looks like one of those trees that was deemed not worth the effort to fell due to the badly shaped trunk. Luckily for us its been left for all to see. Thanks for posting Mario.

    Most of the propositions ive had lately, looked about 15 years older than me with one foot in their grave.

    Just water. Ive noticed that my young assistants seem to favour bottles of what i presume is bluecol antifreeze.

    I think these were the last pair of clumpy boots i ever bought

    In the woods today,the saws were left in the shade when not being used,but they werent running or starting properly. Except the dolmar which wasnt bothered by the heat.

    Unusually had a busy jan and feb ,then dropped off to a point when its been quiet for a month or two, phone not ringing although i spend a kings ransome on advertising. Averaging now only couple of jobs a week,and that is better than some of my fellow tree boys hereabouts, who have called me of an evening wondering whether to get out altogether to get some fresh money coming in. Ime of the opinion that the only busy guys,in this area leastways,are those that prefer to work for beer money.

    You make me laugh Felix

    I thought a growler was the large vicious mutt you often find in back gardens when pricing up, baring teeth,fur raised along the spine,and salivating, with mrs muff laughingly saying 'oh dont take any notice of him, he wont hurt you'

    Picked up a big log with my little sappie,just as it was shoulder height going on the top of the load, the log dropped off and my sappie came back and the square end clouted my on my eye socket. I wasnt far from home,so mrs oldwoodcutter put some frozen peas on it but still took over an hour to stop bleeding.

    The way he's waving that saw around, at best he'll soon be cutting his own leg off below the knee.

    I just use white spirits.

    Sadly from day one, at their odds, i never bought a lottery ticket,and i wouldnt know anything about lucky dips, but now the odds are even more outlandish,you may as well draw a fiver out of your wallet and wipe your ar*e with it.

    Thanks for that Dave,i hadn't realised there were different types,ive just ordered some P3 best masks from screwfix, to keep all that nasty dust out.

    I started coughing around a year ago,been to gp 3 times,had 2 x rays and 1 blood test, when my gp did speak he said your lungs are clear but i know they aren't. Started wearing masks when cutting and splitting and coughing a bit less now, i use the ones for car body filler dust.

    Personally cant stand listening or watching him for a minute,out of all the people they could have given the job to,they give it to him.

    On council tendered work here,one of the conditions is not to engage in conversation about the works with members of the public. Ive been in that situation with domestic work and always tell the mouth to jog on.

    One scruffy herbert crossed my path recently,i told him to his face he was a scrounging git, mrs oldwoodcutter was not impressed,but i cant stand that sort.

    Goodbye Mike. R.I.P.
  24. oldwoodcutter
    Thats certainly a rough load they've brought you there my friend,but perhaps you didnt pay a lot for it,and that was what you wanted. Good luck.

    I am very wary nowadays when using a topper on the ground,2 or 3 years ago my 200t launched itself back at me and stopped just under my throat while i was using it,lone working, 1 handed on the ground. I can guarantee that an experience like that will make anyone slow down and contemplate their own mortality.
