My body hurts

Slept all day Saturday and most of Sunday,between the poison ivy digging and the cramps.I also have cut out some of the thorns(too deep) and the three am wake up trash talking phone calls were a good reason to take a day off..I got some done Sunday and got lots ready for Tues thanks to blue jay,wilson and chad.I would love to be able to have the whole thing wrapped up enough by Saturday that I could talk my boss into giving me a job for awhile to save  money for the next round of excitement..I would also like to give the boy and his girl some money when they get back from china..I first must survive this entire week.. There is still much too do..

something I posted on topix

I went back through what I have stated and "bam" all kinds of feed back using the standard 'provided Icons"..But no positive feedback that isnt" bullied" away.But CHECK IT OUT BHCO is nearly finished as a program and soon after the paperwork will be done (hope fully during winter visit) and then the only thing left to do is find a chainsaw artist to carve totems or something money reflecting on the huge tree stumps that remain in the Dry Basins.Some lots will have two totems but no guarantees that its possible because the shape of the trees.Many are hollowed out by ants,many many ants.Thanks for toning down too Icons instead of insults.I am just trying to move forward.I need some financial help with the chainsaw artist thing,and I need some input on what to carve.If anyone who cares reads this and has deep pockets..Im in but as a gift only...no tax write off..I dont need that kind of help..I need persons to start standing behind what I do ,and what I am doing here ..To see the future of ou7r community.I am glad my fight here will soon be over,I never understood it.So now the program closes with three major categories.
Sponsor a tree program> local businesses can sponsor a fruit tree to help promote the new local industry of fruit production and the continuation of BHCO and its wet lands projects as well as urban farming education.
memorial lots>sponsoring a fruit tree in memory of a loved one,partaking in a restful setting and partaking in the fruit of one that has passed .In return the tree is preserved and harvested and gps is given in all cases to be able to place tree on your desktop.
retirement lots> sponsor a tree here and we maintain it for the duration and log it for a percentage.Currently Hybrids are in the 25 year market..In most cases a 150 dollar investment will yield as much as a ten thousand dollar return after 25 years..Im sayin ..


..You shouldn't judge people and programs until you know what is really going on.Its gonna be good record keeping by good directors..directors that you can trust.I have said as much as I wish at this point.I gotta ask..How is almost all my stuff funny..dont get me wrong ,I love it.I can do funny..Check out my blog for details..I hope that in the future I can buy more properties here in town but I am full up for now..there should be nearly 25 to 50 thousand pounds of fruit production in 4 to 6 years..that should be some jobs...I did what I could..anthony out..PS yea your welcome..

more here than you think

It looks simple enough,a good days work cleaning up for the next round that it was.But if you look closer you can see that the ground is good black dirt..The problem..In this flood area a forest floor like this has no chance against erosion except the tree roots that are currently being left while removing the trees themselves. Untethered dirt  is not something I really want to leave until spring ,so..I am going to throw something on it like oats or whatever.I am also going to call a couple of people to get a little feedback if the local grain elevator doesnt have something that will root now..Crap,I thought waiting until oct to make space for the indian bat was ok,but it seems to have caused a little bit of a late start for fall planting of grass.
 Next time I will request to thin trees to allow for seed to take root and help stop erosion and this shouldnt effect the bats,whom I seen two of a couple of days ago..
This is a good sign although I know little about bats ,I do know they eat bugs and dont really mess with people..I know you hear stories about persons getting rabies vaccines after getting bitten by many animals,but I thought that there was only one case of anyone ever surviving rabies anyway.Well thats what my dad always said,I have been bitten by a few animals in my day,like white arctic fox,racoons ,rabbits and even skunks..Although mostly caged ,I dont feel rabid without getting shots for being bitten a lot..I am sure my dad was trying to save a buck so he probably figured what we didnt know wouldnt hurt us,besides he was an RN,so I didnt fear rabies ..but bites still hurt none the less.I share too much some times ,but it keeps me human.The moral is dont fear bats,remain calm in there presence and understand them.

good bad indifferent

well I guess I will say it was my first speech ever and I am holding it in my hand.I dont think I even look at it.I am always surprised at what I say and how I say it.I am however saying these words,so they are mine. I guess that means it is fair game so I posted it on my facebook page.
I am certainly a driven individual,by something more than I can explain..I feel part of a greater plan that is driven by the same spirit  as individuals pushing edible landscaping and even persons pushing for the reforestation of america..I am neutral in this debate..
I believe this is the best plan I have ever heard to fix the housing crisis and feed the world at the same time,..Think about every city that has crappy lots that are seemingly worthless..Its a don lupree moment without the very fine print .. LOL..I am sure people will pick at me so It wont be any different than it is now.. whatever..

blue jay tree service

Fricken Jason is the bomb,He was around for about an hour and a half..boom.. two huge trees that were way beyond there prime ..slaughtered..
Tomorrow should be a burn day and I hope to get some brush out of the area..I would love to get some seed down even if its oats and temporary.Any root system to hold down the dirt would be great.The sun hasn't shined on the area for so long that there isn't any floor structure at all. I will try to post some picks tomorrow,but I gotta go for today.Between the poison Ivy and the thorns in my fingers,typing really physically hurts.
I can hardly believe that the program will soon be complete in its first physical stages.Soon ,I will be fine tuning and doing paperwork to set the plan in motion for all too see.I* still dont think I an the guy for that part of the job,but I will wear that hat if need be.
Dammit I itch ..and the thorns hurt,even to just bend your fingers,and the cramps in my body...It is so hard just to sit still without something taking away the moment..I almost cant wait to go back to painting!!

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

I can always tell when I am in the right spot with my properties and program cause it is a fight.I recieved the nicest "your a tree murderer message" from one neighbor and I am a tree hugger  gonna wreck my equiptment from another guy the day before.Today I had an encounter with a lady who was telling me the rules about what I could and couldnt do on my own property and called the city on me before she even had any Idea where she was at..She didnt own the property and certainly not the tree or junk tree I cut down in the alleyway,but later she sent her husband after me to "kick my but" for calling her something I did not.All this from the neighbor whom I dropped trespassing charges on for dumping stuff on my lots,which he admitted and removed late last year.I had a documented police report ,but today was a different story,,today I was the bad guy and he never did any of what I was saying..I fricken hate those kind of people.They lie to the police and to themselves.I shall pray that God see them and do with them what he will.I definitely dont want to deal with them again in the physical realm.I shou7ld go throu7gh the records and press charges and still might.I can handle a lot ,but to call me scum and a looser for what I am doing is like saying "na na boo boo what ya gonna do".I should put your ass in jail is what I should do!!I am always amazed that I seem to find evil everywhere I go,Of course I believe that is my mission.Too seek out the bad so it can be brought to the light..I just find it hard to believe that they seem to have nearly two to three weeks after such encounters before they start to fall apart.I wish it was more sudden so I could witness it in real time.Hey dont judge me for wanting justice, I know you who are accountable  are the ones who demand accountability as it should be.I cannot believe he called me poor and scummy because I wear old work clothes and get dirty.I could see so much filth on him that water from Jesus himself couldnt wash off of his high dollar apparel.

Bee cause

 Here is a perfect example of a tree that is dead in the middle.I did not see it in time and it made a huge barber chair and fell in the wrong direction.This is the problem we encountered in cutting the "big oak" so it is being shaved..

On a more human note..I found a hive of honey bees that were in need of rescue according to their new owners.I was schooled on the behavior of the swarm and its lack of honey supply.The verdict was they would need to be fed to survive the winter because they had used most of their honey reserves already.I did get to taste of their work and even chewed the wax from the honey comb.What an amazing creature to produce such remarkable products like honey and wax from blossoms.I hope that someday I will have the bee guys back to place hives in the orchards,yes they are harmless bees.They never showed any sign of aggression as cut the log and bungied a blanket around it for transport.Thanks to Blue Jay we were able to load it into the back of a pickup truck by hand..Most all the bees survived but a few will surely die without a new home.I was assured however that the colony certainly would not have made the winter with the little honey they had stored..

Power like I have never known

 Look at the size of this saw!! It is much more power full than It looks! ms660 I believe..I bought this for the tree service guy to do some work for me and remove some very large trees..To trade in Labor is Honorable Beyond Measure...

So the very temporary trio is as you see it,only to be torn apart tomorrow!!I gotta tell ya I thought the ms 290 was the best saw I have ever known..Now I realize that it is merely a trim saw..I actually felt pain in my hands holding the 660..I nearky was crushed because I cut the tree down so fast it didnt have time to lean into the notch.It was a huge barber chair and was full of bees..They were very docile and will be captured tomorrow by some local bee keepers..
How beautiful this was to have for such a short time!!

by permission only

I cant think of a better example to show where the Corps says to place rock.Ignore the limb in the water ,it is only temporary but the cove created from the rushing waters of the storm drain is a great place to stack some rock..I have sent in a request and I am sure to here a response soon enough...I wish I could afford limestone,it would have a better look.I shall place rubble here carefully in case I get some big natural rocks..

Huge Hollow Oak

 That is a c60 grain truck under this 13 foot 9 inch circumference oak tree.My friend and your local tree guy is going to drop this as whole as possible..
I must see this and I actually worked out a trade with him to get other trees fell and stumps ground..
Ps he is a heck of a cook and is soon to be for hire as such..
Pss he will be roasting a hog for my stepsons wedding when he returns from China with his fiance ( Jake Pinnick wudangswords.com.)Not good with Links so this is all I got tonight...Look it up though,Jake is living an extraordinary life that makes so proud of him.Go Jacob and Ling Ling..lil shout out and we wish you home soon and safe!!!

Look how blue this wood has become inside the tree,I guess it is because there is metal inside the tree..I have heard it many times but this is the first time I have seen it.

Flat tire

Thank you Kiesters for saving my but when it came to replacing my tractor tires.I welcome your generosity and thank you for your support.
I suggest to look at this company next time you need a mechanic..I cant say enough good things about them,My lady has always used them for her car repair and nobody else..Two nearly new tires for the Hoe will be on tomorrow.
Man I am so thankful..I love it when I run into good people who see what I am trying to do here..

some stuff

 I seem to get a little to brave at times,I can see where a cab would be much safer..

Look what this tree root has done to live in this litterfull site..

where to begin

how do you say all the things that have happened when you have a hard time keeping up..I guess we do a little breakdown..The first thing is that I have been so busy with work related issues  that I seem to drop writing so  I don't say something that may affect my job..I have been driving 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 and a half hours to work for the last couple of weeks.I just don't have the heart to do it anymore..I cant believe that I cannot find work closer.I just cannot take it anymore so I am on my own for a while...If I wouldn't have blown a tractor tire or needed to buy a 1400 dollar chainsaw to trade for getting some trees and stumps removed I would be in better shape..I will come out ahead a little on the trades I make ,but nothing unfair.
I don't  know how I am going to be able to afford to continue but that is the test like always..I am interested to see how this whole thing is going to work out with the elimination of the dry basin proposal( which I should post) and the reconstituted plan of removing all the trees and planting along the creek beds to form an impenetrable wall of PAW PAW trees,then planting the remaining clear area in either hybrid walnuts as sponsored retirement trees( you give me a little money up front and I get the tree to you choice of people a t its maturity after 25 to 30 years for a percentage of the log)..Or Plum trees.The walnuts are a potential gold mine for investors as well maintained forested veneer quality walnuts can bring upwards of 12 grand.The Paw Paw trees should produce enough fruit to keep up with expenses as well as stop persons from entering the creek because if you rough them up they smell terrible..I strongly encourage you to look up the paw paw and  look at ksu's research.I will share that they are not propagated by bees as much as mosquitoes and flies.They are used in cancer treatment,and they love creek  and river sides..Native Americans ate them and propagated them all over the U.S.  I cannot tell you every thing it would take hours..You can learn as much as you like from google.In my application they will allow for the creek to flourish  as it becomes a much more dense area. If I plant plumbs there will be lots of food and fruit within two years..
So The orchard is complete minus the paperwork and a lot of cash to get the areas cleaned up and planted..I am quite nervous how this is going to happen,but I am also excited as I know deep down that it will happen.I guess I can see a few cards that havent been played yet,I just hope that the deck isnt stacked..I am not a good gambler,but I know the game..I need good vibrations to make this thing happen,how could you not want to be a part of such an amazing plan.I still see this as a world wide change for the betterment of all man kind.Yea ,I know it could be bigger and more community driven than any other program in its category.A virtual United Way or Red Cross of Americas infrastructure.I dont think I see any application where this program wouldn't benefit everyone.I just think I am the wrong guy that was given this remarkable gift. I know help is out there,it has shown its face and reached out its hand.I am holding back for some reason,I believe it to be lack of funding or security in my job..Whatever the cause the solution is the same,I have to do the paperwork..
