  1. The work is not hard:sneaky2:, making the job look easy is what's hard. You were in your zone with only yourself and the customer to please:thumbup1: I can not think of a better way to work. easy-lift guy
  2. Nice job. Was the left over wood good for anything other than fire wood? easy-lift guy
  3. Of course one could always come across some doggy fecal matter while using a strimmer like another member has mentioned. After that encounter all bets are off. easy-lift guy
  4. I was wondering the same thing, hope he was wearing his depends:laugh1: easy-lift guy
  5. Rain for the last 6 days. Pushing 10" and more still on its way! easy-lift guy
  6. Illustrated guide to pruning by doctor Ed Gilman. Great read, full color illustrated. Second edition. easy-lift guy
  7. I wish you a speedy recovery Sir. Take care. easy-lift guy
  8. I do respect the men who serve and lost their lives in the process. The facts about the reasons other than acts of god when fires get started speak volumes for how hard if not impossible their jobs have become. I can blame elected leaders and special interest groups in this country for nearly all of the problems encountered that these fire fighters have to deal with year round in this country. easy-lift guy
  9. Using his own name shows pride in ownership and services available. A mans name is only as good as the product or service he can provide. Take it from me. easy-lift guy
  10. I really feel sorry for the loss of the Fire Fighters in AZ. Sometimes these fires are created by nature and occure naturally. Still other times due to Government Stupidity while attempting to save certain species of animal or the like Vast Tracks of wooded area are not allowed to be cleared and replanted. The end results are stores like the 19 Men who lost their lives under impossible conditions. IMHO with proper Forrestry Management in play most if not nearly all fires like this could and would be prevented. The tools and technology are available to stem such destruction on a massive scale, Once again Government and certain Enviromentalist Wackos Groups Carry the day. Common sence need not apply, especially for all the folks that lost their homes surrounded by dead and dieing old forrest timber. O and by the way the arsonist that are caught and tried for these crimes deserve no jail time, just excution. Rant over. easy-lift guy
  11. I believe the number of schools teaching Arborculture in the UK far exceeds the number of trained personnel in the field needed to maintain the market much less this industry as a whole. The end result IMHO is a viscous circle of students fresh out of school either trying to start out on their own with only Three things going for themselves, price, youth, and relatively low over head. The last item can disappear soon enough with mismanagement of funds and no business plan or model. Having a set price for performing a certain task or job would be nice, however with the shear volume of new folks coming into this industry every year, I do not see that happening. Having a union or some way of fixing the price based on what some organization dictates is also a non starter simply because unions can and will destroy a free market economy if given a chance for their sole existence only. Solution. Less government regulation,supports for tuition funded education could reduce the number of students and lessen the impact low ballers have on this industry. In time prices could go up with less competition, back to supply and demand. My two cents from the other side of the pond looking thru my telescope. easy-lift guy
  12. Really happy your pleased with your investment:thumbup1:. I look forward to meeting up with you at The Arb and Forestry event July 26/27. easy-lift guy
  13. I hope there will be no bodies to ID:sneaky2: easy-lift guy
  14. Venice, 70 miles SW of Tampa. West coast:thumbup1:, Sun coast. easy-lift guy
  15. Live oak seems the best for BBQ, brick fired ovens here in the Southwest part of Florida. Also for smoking fish, seems the smokers love to mix in mangrove for additional flavor!. easy-lift guy
  16. So that's what a air chainsaw sounds like. easy-lift guy
  17. Me to mark. Ted, I mean, easy-lift guy
  18. Now just a Minute, I resemble that remark. Just remember how I taught you how to adjust your side view mirrior on a rental car:sneaky2:, or how you reassured me that the oldsters walking along the side of the road did not need to fear someone coming to close to them becuse they looked up in time:confused1:. Ah, them were fun driving times:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  19. I nearly accept the challenge:sneaky2:. See you there Pat. easy-lift guy
  20. Never saw or felt that round coming down range:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  21. I would suggest an Easy-Lift Harness. You will be able to increase your work production 100 to 200% while being in complete control of the implement you have attached for the first time. If you can make it to the Arb forrestry event on the 26/27 of July I will be happy to let you try on the ELH and you will be astonished, to say the least:thumbup1:. If you are unable to meet up at the show send me a PM and I will be happy to meet up in person with the ELH to try. All the best. easy-lift guy
  22. Now that you mentioned that she does look pretty determined. easy-lift guy
  23. Dean, it looks like the interviewer is holding a mic in front of a Giant Koi dressed as a human with safety glasses!. Perhaps Ripleys believe it or not should be on this case! easy-lift guy
  24. Petty theifs. Hope they choke on the feathers and bones. easy-lift guy
