One of my tenants was laid off two weeks ago. I told them when they signed the lease that if things got tight just please be honest with me. We can figure things out. He called me the day he got laid off on his way home. So we came up with a plan together. 🧵🧵🧵

I’m working on a design for a system I’m trying to build with a friend of mine who is also an engineer. We sat down with an engineer who we wanted his honest opinion on the subject as he works with similar systems for a living. He not only poked holes in our designs he

Tonight’s meal is brought to you by that one chuck roast that I smoked like a year ago that I found in the back of the freezer. Oh yea and spicy ramen.

Trying to get in front of the camera more for advertising. It’s what I struggle with the most. Just let me quote and cut trees down. But I get way more social media leads when I actually talk.

Letting the 661 rip today.

Do your stump guys a favor and give them the flush cut they deserve.

I doubt anyone is paying $25k for your 30 year old Chevy bud. Don’t get me wrong it’s a clean truck but clean square bodies rarely go for this kind of money.

I did 3 stumps for this guy back in June. He messaged me today and said after he graded the yard one of them wasn’t deep enough. I have a 72 hour touch up policy. If the job didn’t meet your expectations I’ll come back for free. Over 5 months I’m charging. But this guy was

This is one of my favorite ages. We have a few more weeks before he is crawling and chaos ensues. But he is getting a bit more independent and content with just sitting in the floor with his toys. Just a happy little chunky boy.

These red oaks are heavy. Going to be some quality firewood for someone’s smoker though.

This one is for the boys. Cold start on the F700. Yes I know the electric brake motor sounds terrible and yes I know it has an exhaust leak from hell. Also the choke doesn’t work. But it’s a cold, carbureted big block so who cares.

I just had someone at subway ask if I owned that Tree Company. I said yes and he told me he sees me all the time on TikTok. Is this what fame feels like?

Just booked a big sweet gum removal project from a property. It’s got a few tricky trees. The worst one is because the customers dad is buried in a flower bed next to it and naturally he doesn’t want us dropping a tree on dad. There will be a rope on every drop.

I just booked my first dump trailer rental. I posted it for rent on fb marketplace. Might as well let it make me money when we aren’t cutting trees.

Working on training my replacement. He loved it of course.

I’ve been stressing a bit about slow season. Up until 5 hours ago I had $2575 scheduled for the rest of December. My guys were aware and we had already discussed me laying them off for two weeks essentially. Tree work is more difficult around the holidays. The phone just

My wife had a flat this morning and then the spare popped naturally. Cole is in the F150 so I’m in his shitbox and my wife is less than impressed. She forgets her roots.

My 9 year old just asked if I fought in World War 1. I don’t even like these kids today.

Lizzo Lives!

Context my second favorite employee overslept because he thought I wouldn’t leave at 5:30am to go get the dumpy trailer. Scooby on the other hand knew I was capable of waking up at the crack of dawn to get the ball rolling and was already waiting for me at the house.
