  1. Never let be said that the customer does not have a sense of humor and as for timing well I have never known of many customers that has their own special way of keeping track of time, charge double and, back to chilling. easy-lift guy
  2. Last 3 days temps during the day low 40's and at night low to mid 20's. Plenty cold for this southerner but the business was very good!. Sunshine state here I come, no place like home!. FYI business was in Boston, Mass. easy-lift guy
  3. morton does your quote have anything to do with the subject matter about Diesel Chainsaw's or have I missed something all together:confused1: easy-lift guy
  4. I am currently at the New England Grows Show and had a short discussion about a Diesel chain saw. Answer NO!. Show going great pics to follow. easy-lift guy
  5. That tree was an accident waiting to happen. I commend your judgement and experience:thumbup1: Everyone go's home safe and sound, best part of all customer happy. easy-lift guy
  6. Here in the States we have a product called Liquid Fence, all natural based and EPA approved. Deers hate it and is applied as a spray. Hope this helps. easy-lift guy
  7. Running to the border is one thing, running to a border with no extradition is far better. easy-lift guy
  8. I can ship over a few extra spades and pick axes if need be:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  9. During the Summer months May thru October I drink on average1.5 to Two gal. of Water per day. In the Fall Winter and Spring about Half as much. Keeping yourself properly hydrated is very important and can help with many daily aches and pains. I also invested in a new mattress nearly 10 years ago and have not woke up stiff and uncomfortable ever since. The Brand is Sleep Number, By Select comfort beds. Between the two I don't really have any back issues any more and I sleep and function on a daily basis much better. easy-lift guy
  10. You are not taking this matter to far in fact here in the states he would have been arrested on the spot for providing smokes to teen agers and if he was buying adult bev's he would be in the klink for a while. Start the eviction process and serve him official notice if need be. The neighborhood will be better for it and you fell better about it. easy-lift guy
  11. Good for you!, one less bad stat for HSE to work into additional regulations. easy-lift guy
  12. I agree with you Al. I believe it all comes back to education of the consumer. While some folks believe the use of a top handle saw may be dangerous for any not skilled in their use, I have also noticed some who think that there is an unfair advantage due to weekend warriors and the like earning extra $$$. When I purchased my first top handle there was a video that I was required to watch before I left the store with my new purchase. I was happy to watch and learn since.. That was a while ago and I know of no dealers here in the US that have that requirement at this time, I think it should be mandatory for all new purchases, since I believe education is still the key. BTW the video was produced by Stihl. easy-lift guy
  13. Looks like the orinigal first true chain saw. Thanks for sharing look forward to the restore. easy-lift guy
  14. At least for myself here in the States, once the work order or contract was signed depending on the size of the landscape job I would request 1/3 or 1/2 down for the cost of the material and the balance paid in full upon completion. This last part was really important since my customers would also sign a release that they knew the job was done and it was time to cough., No it was not a prostate exam just final payment. For other types of work weather it be tree or landscape work in general, payment is due upon completion of job. No additional terms were ever offered since I like to keep the drama of getting paid for services rendered to a min. easy-lift guy
  15. Jackpot, clean them up and sell them or take them out for some trigger time either way nice find. easy-lift guy
  16. Wow!, Hope you have a speedy recovery, Sir. easy-lift guy
  17. My number1 just made the comment that the model in question was in a line up and postive ID was confirmed. easy-lift guy
  18. Many widow makers here and have see first hand the results of tree damage after Tornados spawned by Hurricanes. I choose to be safe rather than sorry and remove dangerious trees planted to close or in and around areas that can be destroyed by storms. Trees can always be replanted homes and lives are a little harder to mend. easy-lift guy
  19. Sounds like the Police did not do their due diligence regarding this case and the response was way over the top. I would request from the head of the force a letter of apology to you and make copies of this document to hand out to the folks in your neighborhood. At least than you could feel a little better about someone else's mistake and so will your neighbors. This is the very least the Police could do to help set things right IMHO. easy-lift guy
  20. Might I suggest my thread means and methods of protecting your kit from theft. I choose to disclose this info in the form of a pm since this is a public forum and I am sure the thieves monitor this site.

    Best regards

  21. Do they have repeat offenders laws on the books in the UK?, Over here they do and the swine stay where they belong a lot longer:sneaky2: easy-lift guy
  22. Jazz, Have to pay your dues if you want to sing the Blues and you know it don't come easy. Ring Starr. Do the whole course and remember sooner or later you will use or have a need for the balance of your classes. I can not expect you to understand at 19 but by the same token you have more than enough time to change your mind and choose another carrer. All the best easy-lift guy
