Apparently there is a trend where women ask their veteran or active duty husbands if they would do well in war. My wife didn’t like my answers.

In a weird new development in our household I am the new mediator between my oldest and my wife. My wife in a moment of frustration told me it wasn’t fair that I could talk to Brin and she got nowhere with her. I’ve had over a decade of practice. They are the same freaking person. Of course I can get her to listen to me because my wife trained me in the tactics.

Update. She’s a little scuffed but the skid steer has returned.

No luck. Got a bogus address.

A friend of mine owns a rental house and had a skid steer go missing. It’s turned up close to one of my jobsites. Let’s go get a skid steer.

October was my best month yet. I’m extremely grateful to be where we are.

550 blew a tire, wife’s car needs like $2300 worth of work. Trailer brake controller isn’t working on the F350. Broke a tooth on the grinder. This is fine. We are fine.

Chuck steak, potatoes, peppers and onions.

Perks of owning a tree company. We have awesome ways to decorate.

My 14 year old and I are at her travel Volleyball tryouts. The campaigning and strutting that is going on is comical. Sooo many parents who peaked in highschool and are living through their kids.

Not a bad day.

Water pump went out on the Sienna this morning. Thankfully I heard it and it started leaking at the mechanics shop parking lot while we were there to get it checked out. Taking her to go get a rental now. For some reason she doesn’t want to drive the F550.

I sponsored feeding the middle school basketball players and cheer leaders. This is how much salsa I brought home as leftovers. Is this heaven?

To be brave enough to pull out in front of a 30 year old truck with a 16’ dump trailer full of logs must be an amazing feeling. It’s either bravery or stupidity. Either way I envy them.

Didn’t touch the pavement.

Finishing up a $13k land clearing job today. Sold the customer another $25k this morning we will be starting January 4th. Starting next year strong. I’m going to be the dominant tree service in North Alabama next year. Next stop is the Sennebogen 718.

My 14 year old was paying for something she wanted to buy at Walmart. I told the cashier to make sure the money wasn’t counterfeit. The look she just gave me could kill. Probably need to sleep with one eye open tonight.

Your attitude on a job site is almost as important as your results. I am currently finishing a job with a sub contractor for the last time. He has complained the entire time. So he will never have to complain about a job from me again.

A friend of mine just agreed to a price on stump grinding. Me : Cool man I’ll send Brandon out next Wednesday. Friend : Nah man if it’s cool we can just wait until you are available. Me : Bro I’m not gonna lie that stump will probably never get ground if you want me to do it. Friend : Oh… well nvm send Brandon.

279,459 wanting to get another 750,000 out of it. What mileage do y’all have on your daily’s?

Our minimum for stump grinding services is $250. I don’t get as many stump grinding jobs anymore because of that. But I get almost all of the big or multiple stump jobs. I’m not trying to get every job. But I am trying to get every profitable job.
