I have a relative that was a rodeo clown for many, many years.... He was the barrel man and has been tossed all over the arena by bulls.. Personally I thought he was crazy for choosing that line of work but he loved it and has been all over the country several times.. He's all beat up and can hardly walk now . JD
#8 We had an ancient 3 wheeled Cushman at my shop (Weapons Augmentation Team, USCG, our version of a USN SIMA) and seeing that reminded me of it. I got the a pair of chopped off M16 barrels, and an old ring sight from a 3"50 deck gun, and had them welded to a plate. Then we mounted it to the front of the Cushman. Oh man, did the Officers hate that! LOL That thing would tip over if you looked at it wrong. Ask me how I know....
#1 - There is a personality type or trait involved in that kid of work. My younger son has whatever that is. He is an accomplished professional and a consultant in the Pharma business but sometimes I think he's a little nuts. He's always fearlessly climbing things like that. He doesn't really grasp the concept of "fear" and he's always been like that.
#1 is where it's at! The best thing about tree work is the boss's kid ain't gonna bullshit his way to the top of the tree. Same with working high steel. You've either got what it takes to get in the air or you don't!

Hmmm I thought #3 was Good Dog®️protecting the innocent puppy. The other one has a pretty damn guilty look to me...

ReplyDelete#4 reminds me when I get an itch around my balls that I can't just seem to get to and my fingers are all over them trying to find it..
ReplyDelete#4--man, when my back itches, I wish I could do that.
