I wish this one was turned down????????
@jed Just seems like some sketchy terrain to be working solo and not terribly efficient with a conventional gun. Robot??s too heavy. Why don??t you use an IM to share the load and watch your back?
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Actually didn't look that bad except for the wind. Little underbrush. As I have said many times - we work in the rain on the west coast.?ÿ
It's actually pretty tame compared to a lot of our jobs but the 3 hours of driving is what I wish I could avoid. I hate driving and I feel safer in the windy woods than I do driving the gontlet to the coast.?ÿ
@jed I get it, feel same way about driving, most definitely the most exposure to risk.?ÿ
I've gone to the mat here over the issue working solo with long days in the field followed by long drives to get home. You get sleepy at the wheel and there's to give you a break and so you're forced to either stop and rest and get back late or push your luck. Either that or pound a redbull and be up all night.

...the 3 hours of driving is what I wish I could avoid .....?ÿ
That's the average round trip commute for a guy who lives in Beaverton and works in Vancouver. Nevermore.?ÿ?ÿ
@jed we??re not supposed to call each other names here, and I only say this with the most appropriate brotherly affection, ??you??re a nut.?
Some people are square pegs in round holes, but @jed seems to fit in a job where few others would.
I had one today that needed a quick turnaround on an easement for a shared driveway.?ÿ I priced it accordingly and they balked at the price.?ÿ They wanted to reduce cost by reducing the project scope to a point that I was uncomfortable with.?ÿ My response was that quality of work and scope are not negotiable but I would be happy to adjust the cost by letting them move to the back of the line.?ÿ For some reason they thought that was more unreasonable than my initial proposal.

I'm sorry; I'm not going to be able to help you...

I have several times told persons who demand I work for them - 'how about I pay you twenty dollars and just not take the job'.
My most common reason to turn down a client over the past 18 months is that we simply can not do the job within a time constraint that they would impose.?ÿ This generally applies to calls from those I do not know.?ÿ In another thread I listed several of my recent jobs.?ÿ Most of those are for prior clients, friends and neighbors.?ÿ It's called protecting the base.?ÿ A one and done client is rare for me.
Similar sometimes. I just nap.
No caffeine after 4pm
Naps are a natural reset, even if for only 15-20 minutes.
I've mastered my sleep cycle, even learned how to sleep across 3 bar stools while they count the till.
It all about Minding?ÿ the minimum sleep needed to perform at 95%.

That??s no way to treat a woman.
