THE TRAINWRECK. Brought to you by thcfarrmer…..

Nice buds bro ✌️ My bud is from a clone of one Trust’s Peanut Butter x C Man 🔥✌️💨 Goddamit. I was trying to say that was a clone of a clone that I grew from a seed. 😀 For some reason, it appears to be important to explaine that…. Maybe the weed is...

As a former union safety guy, I lazily fed this through AI and even read some of it @Captspaulding

0) Non-negotiables (even for tower vets)​


  • Lines = Utility’s job. Those drooping cables get treated as energized until the power company confirms otherwise. No cutting, no winching, no “just lifting it a bit.” Full stop.
  • Two-person rule. If he climbs or runs a saw, there’s a ground watch with a phone, first-aid kit, and eyes on.
  • PPE: Helmet/eye/ear, chainsaw chaps, gloves, boots. Dog goes inside.

1) Rapid triage (tag the scene)​


  • RED (utility/pro only): Anything touching/near lines; big leaders still hanging (“widow-makers”); binds you’d need to climb into without a bombproof anchor.
  • YELLOW (rig with care): Heavy downed limbs under tension; fence-crushers; the snapped pine by the drive that still has weight in the crown.
  • GREEN (easy wins): Scattered brush/twigs, blown junk, toppled pots.

2) Establish a safe lane & staging​


  • Clear one access lane from street/drive to the back using rakes and tarps (drag-sleds).
  • Mark a drop zone with cones/bright tape.
  • Set four piles: Logs / Brush / Leaves & Sweepings / Trash & Metal. Keep the lane clean so everything moves fast.

3) Rigging approach (use his rope brain)​


Goal: Work small-to-big, outside-in, with controlled movement.


  • Tag lines: On any limb with unpredictable swing, throw a line, keep a ground person on a friction device (figure-8 or munter on a rated carabiner) to steer the release.
  • Pre-tension & bias: Come-along or capstan/winch to bias a limb away from fences/sheds before cuts. Load it lightly—just enough to control direction.
  • Speedline lite (optional): If the yard is a mess, run a line to shuttle brush downhill to one pile. Saves a ton of walking.
  • Tension reads: Push with a rake; if it “springs,” it’s loaded. Make a shallow undercut on the compression side, then finish the top cut outboard and stand to the side.

4) Cutting order (production safe)​


  1. GREEN pass: Clear all loose brush and junk so you can see the real problems.
  2. Grounded YELLOW: Limb tips first → work toward the butt. Cookie the bigger wood into 3–4 ft lifts.
  3. Snapped pine by drive: If it’s clear of lines, set a tag line high, pre-tension away from the trailer/car, remove the hanging crown in small bites, then section the stem. Stop if any load paths point at the trailer.
  4. Anything still aloft or over a fence: Only piece-out if you can create a bombproof anchor (base-tied around the trunk with a cambium saver) and keep two points of attachment while cutting. If not, red-tag it for a tree crew.

5) Stuff in your photos to handle/avoid​


  • Low cables across the yard: Red-tag. Utility first, always.
  • Collapsed tarp structure/fence under limbs: Don’t “lift” frames; free the weight in small sections from the outside edge until they relax.
  • Potted plants: Stage them out of the work zone now, re-pot later.

6) Kit that speeds this up​


  • Throw line + weight, static rope, a friction device (figure-8 or rigging ring), 2–3 webbing slings, rated carabiners.
  • Loppers, pruning saw, pole saw; chainsaw with a sharp chain + wedges + bar oil.
  • Come-along or small winch, 2–3 big tarps, twine/ratchet straps, rake, shovel, wheelbarrow.
  • First-aid kit, bug spray, water cooler.

7) Crew choreography (even with 2–3 people)​


  • Cutter/Rigger: cuts and calls moves.
  • Swamper: drags, bundles, keeps drop zone clear.
  • Spotter: on tag/winch line, eyes on hazards.
    Rotate every 20–30 minutes to keep brains sharp.

8) What still belongs to pros​


  • Anything near/under utility lines (until cleared).
  • Big leaders >8–10" diameter still aloft or obviously sprung.
  • Work that requires climbing into compromised wood without a perfect anchor and rescue plan.

9) Disposal & finish​


  • Bundle brush (twine) to city spec or stage for storm pickup.
  • If there’s tons of wrist-thick material, a rental chipper for 2–3 hours is a back-saver.
  • Final pass: gutters, drains, walkways. Photo the before/after for insurance.

10) Two-day checklist (realistic)​


Day 1: Call utility; mark red zones. Clear access lane. Do full GREEN pass. Process all safe ground limbs.
Day 2: Rig and remove YELLOW targets (pine by drive, fence crushers). Bag/rake. Leave clearly marked RED work for utility or an arborist.


Do it this way and you’ll turn “hurricane jungle” into “stacked, staged, and civilized” fast—letting a bucket truck handle the truly spicy bits. If you want, tell me what rigging gear he’s still got (come-along, capstan, slings), and I’ll tailor the cut/rig order around that exact kit.

Not bad, but you forgot the part where it’s a roll that we piss on every corner of a fucked up situation like that as we get drunk waiting for the power company to finally fucking show up

Put a 4 man crew on a hash hookah and attempt to accurately survey the property WHILE the line crews are working. They have to all hold it together as a group.

Qatar managed to get bombed by both Iran and Israel this year while fighting neither and all that happened was frowns and finger wags.
 
Very very stern finger wags at that!
INTERVIEWER: Good evening. Qatar has just experienced the rare diplomatic condition known as being bombed by people you’re not at war with. What happened?


SPOKESMAN: Administrative error with explosives, basically. Israel hit Doha while Hamas leaders were mulling a U.S. ceasefire pitch. Qatar, being the adult in the room, was unimpressed.


INTERVIEWER: Israel says it was targeting terrorists.


SPOKESMAN: Yes—inside an ally’s capital—during talks the ally was hosting. A bold way to say “we value your mediation,” if by value you mean “turn it into confetti.” Qatar is now reconsidering the joys of hosting peace talks conducted under incoming fire.


INTERVIEWER: The White House?


SPOKESMAN: They felt very badly. Apparently the President even tried to warn Qatar—via a real-estate friend—moments before the missiles arrived. A kind of diplomatic heads up—duck.


INTERVIEWER: And Iran?


SPOKESMAN: Iran recently flung missiles at Al Udeid—the U.S. base Qatar kindly hosts—so they also bombed Qatar while not being at war with Qatar. Most were intercepted; one dinged a big white communications dome. Qatar called it “no casualties,” the Pentagon called it “yes, a dent,” and everyone called it “let’s not do that again.”


INTERVIEWER: So Israel and Iran both attacked Qatar, which is mediating between Israel and people Iran likes?


SPOKESMAN: Correct. It’s the Middle East’s first confirmed case of bipartisan bombing.

INTERVIEWER: What does Qatar do now?


SPOKESMAN: What it always does: keep mediating and issue a statement that sounds like a disappointed school principal. “Nothing will deter our mediation role,” translated from Diplomatic into Australian as: “We’re not angry, just very unimpressed.”


INTERVIEWER: Is there a ceasefire on the table?


SPOKESMAN: It was on the table. Israel then blew up the table, and Iran hit the dining room last quarter. The waiter is now checking if anyone still wants dessert.


INTERVIEWER: Final question: Who benefits from bombing your mediator?


SPOKESMAN: Airlines. Diplomats are booking a lot of last-minute flights.


INTERVIEWER: Thank you. We’ll update you the next time someone attacks a neutral party for helping.

Admitted the colubian red owns the tent and handed off the apple fritters to friends. I got some 7 weeks of flower and even height is gonna be a thing. I just clipped the low 15% of bud sites.
 
I used to use this when I made stacks and flares, and when I was bowling down, fresh monopole bases
The stack and flares were the best, though you trusted hombre one on one side you on the other, standing on nothing but a bolt protruding, dangling by a strap off a crane with another man taggong it from the structure site,
As you and you buddy bounce on it getting it to slide into place. Doing some of the most dangerous shit on earth and all us idiots could do was crack jokes about how bouncing on giant poles made all of us gay👊🏻🤣

I can’t understand why the fuck he would even do that to you… like you help out everyone with no expectations of anything in return, and he fucks you… very disappointing especially a light that he fucked with, I know the UV/IR switch is jankey on my PL4500 but the light runs great, I just left the UV/IR off once I noticed it wasent workin (and I haven’t fucked with any wires 🤣) I gotta figure out how we can get that to you, still packed in the box and all

I know it ain’t great but it’s a light
See bro, the main difference between you and the prick that sent me that light is that you actually told me about that stuff and then it was like we talked about it and I was like yeah you know I could probably work that out and fix it so no hard no foul you know like fucking human beings.
It’s crazy how the English language can make things happen between two different people👊🏻🤡
So this equation, your gravy, bro because this is, cut wires and busted light becomes E=asshole squared shit.
 
These will get shaken in the next 2-3 days🤫😲😆
