  1. Here in the states I know of several Female climbers from the ISA National show in St.Louis, MO. 3 years ago. They were very good during the climbing events and I was very proud of how well they did. By the way they did not look like a yeti.

  2. I believe it depends on your knowledge/skill level. Some people can really work hard on trimming hedges and I know all about that, still others choose to work smarter with the best equipment there budget can afford to purchase. If one can increase ones production 200% percent per day with the right equipment, said equipment has just increased ones profit level and left said operator feeling much stronger by then of the work day. I can only speak from my own experience.

  3. To many distractions from day to day life. I have always been willing to take advantage of offers when available. Perhaps there was a slackers convention nearby when you posted your offer, can't stand slackers right up there with Jack wagons. Keep posting you will find your help.

  4. "Necessity is the mother of all invention". The load handler has been available here in the states now for several years now. That being said I have only seen one in use and the customer was very happy with the unit she had for her Ford F150 truck with the 8' bed. "Did I mention that she was about 5' tall and about 110 lbs"

    Here in SW Florida and for most of the state during the rainy season a load of material can become very heavy after a short period of rain fall. I believe with dry goods such as rock shell sand or dirt the product can and will do fine. Wet goods on the other hand may be a different story, my opinion only. Good luck with your investment working smarter, not harder.

  5. First come first served. Although this client has been part of your income stream in the past he really needs to wait his turn. If you bend over backwards to fit his needs than everyone else will wonder what happen?. REMEMBER You work for yourself. Most clients understand that some others still need some training.

  6. I have visited the chat room on several occasions and actually discussed storage of firewood and the effects of to much moisture here in SW. Florida, the wood becomes punky and only good for smoke signals after 6 months. Time difference is tough for me as well, o well will continue to try if anyone wishes conversation.

  7. Stick to your original price. He is trying to play one service against another for the best possible price. Remember " no one can pimp yourself or your product better than you".

    No one! People with small egos and the need to play mind games are out there in every industry. Learn from them and know what to expect, you may be surprised how quickly they will respect you in turn.

  8. "No one can Pimp your self better than your self" You sound like you have the certifications in order and most of your equipment in hand. The lower your overhead or cost of doing business the more competive you will be on your own. Not knowing the job market in your neck of the woods, you may need to expand your range to other areas looking for someone with your work ethic and knowledge. Don't sell your self short. Keep pressing on, believe me I did and I always will.

  9. As a designer,manufacturer and end user I am often stunned at what is available for the industry to work with. Sometimes I think that some companies are guilty of using the term "new and improved " once to often. I do believe that many designs of new products are not properly field tested and the end result is usually a very unhappy end user.

  10. Your main heat receptors are located on the underside of your wrist and the back of your neck. Keep you neck covered as much as possible. When you do take a break apply cold water to your neck and wrist. This will help maintain your core temp. Drink plenty of water to help stem off dehydration. If you stop sweating ther is a good chance that you are all ready dehydrated and it may take up to two to three days before your back up to par.

  11. Drink plenty of water and you may have to relearn how to pace yourself. With the time difference and climate I wish you the very best, by the way I know all about the really hot weather from SW Florida in the summer.

    Best Regards.

  12. Take the tree out, if I have seen it once I have seen it a Million times and I still wonder, Why Do People continue to plant trees under power lines? Are there that many "Really want to Say something here" people out there??????. Not refering to Michelle.

  13. Funny thing is that Henchman is one of my better dealers in the UK and even forwarded some new business to my newest dealer in Austraila. Sorry to hear that chopthatup had a different experience than my customers have.

  14. Spaking as a marathoner from a few years ago I need to also remove the spare tube around the waist for personal and professional reasons. In 3 months and the hiring of a trainer for a once a week lashing at the Y I lost 32 lbs and met my goal in time for my largest show to demonstrate my product. The results were great and I still have a few more pounds to shed. By the way I also gave up any items containing High Fructose syrup, white items excluding cauliflower, soda, candy, and only drank fresh juices, H2O, and skim milk. 1 protein between breakfast/lunch and lunch and dinner. Fresh fruit for desert. Work outs consisted if upper and lower body on various machines low weight and moderat reps. Biking and running on non gym days. Was at 232 lbs @ 6'3'' presently 198 lbs with about 15 to 18 lbs left to go. Never going back to sporting those spare tires again.

  15. Here in the states we have volenteer services available for mortorist that are broken down or have run out of gas. In Florida they are called Road rangers and they work the interstate system. They are good people helping other people in need. Some have even died while trying to help others in need. People need to be more considerate of fellow motorist. I have made many stops in my day to help people in need and in the process done my part to help humanity thru another day.

  16. Well put treequip. The person on the Bike was playing the part of a Jackwagon and frustrating the police officer in the process. If this situation had taken place in the states I can assure you that the person on the bike would have been sited and if same person decided to play the part of a mental midget, back up would have been on it's way and he would have ended up in jail. Police have a hard enough time dealing with day to day crime enforcement but when it comes to pin heads on bicycles frustrating and pissing off the law, well lets say he got off easy.

  17. Gee I am sure that everyone that has purchased a iphone 4 really feels great right about now. Heres a tip. If you have to have a new phone or any electronic device remember you are paying for the bulk of the R/D as well as all the bugs that will come out with the new and improved models. Don't be a sucker for the latest model, it will soon enough be yesterdays news only more expensive and more bugs to work out. I will replace my iphone 3gs when it is dead, and only than. "Work smarter with your funds not harder."
