Hey! Just doin’ my little part to combat global warming, and make the world a shinier, happier place!
…or something like that. Keep working the air guitar though…
YARR!!! just started watching your videos.learnd a lot in this video. but i must say this also helps me with my air guitar skills. thank you.
I never get tired of watching the air guitar.
I like the song too
Can’t really be sure, since I don’t know what all was/is inside my kidneys, as far as stones. I only know what I passed.
But I do intend to to the lemon juice thing every so often, with the hope that it will prevent any further stones from forming, and dissolve any that I may now have, but not be aware of.
If, after a few years, I get another stone, then I will have to conclude that it did not work for me.
how did the lemon juice work? Ive never had a stone, and form what i hear, don’t want to! Hows life otherwise? Hope all is well
Will catch more of your vids shortly
Thanks, Pete.
Hi Al, very good vid. 5 stars
nice air guitar
Pinnacle Studio. As far as I know, it’s considered to be pretty average by reviewers.
Yeah Al what kinda video editing stuff do you use? Must be pretty good.
It’s called ‘Bad Johnny’. I don’t know who recorded it, as it is part of the video editing software that I use.
Awesome. Glad to have been able to do that for you.
What song did u play there whats its name?
Kepp on Rocking!^^
beautiful video compliments 5 stars
The maple tree you moved in Vancouver belongs to my son and his fiancee. I loved “being there” to share the move, even though i am way away in Washington DC.
The air guitar concert was a treat,
Thanks for such a great job,
Nice work great air guitar performance at the end!
great video loved the intro i also like the end funny
LOL. You must have been reading my mind. You know, I WAS going to do a duct tape vid from this one, with the burlap around the tree trunk, but no one had any duct tape. The lady I was working for had some, but someone had taken it out of her work bag, so we had to use cellophane tape, which of course was not video worthy.
Alexander, the only machine in that size range and configuration that I can comment on is our Hitachi ZX 135. But I can tell you that in my opinion, it is an excellent performer, except that there is no room in the cab to put a lunch box.
The reason I went ‘blade backward’ on this job was to keep the weight to the rear, so I could drive the machine. Otherwise, it was too front heavy to drive with the tree hanging so far ahead. But do use that trick sometimes when the machine is stationary.
Like the intro man keep the great videos coming.
5/5
Nice job Al!!! That for sure wasn’t one of those knock off bonus footage reels! Oh, and the strapping based axe solo at the end was brilliant. 5 stars.
Nice Air guitar at the end.
That was funny.
I was gonna suggest a Bobcat skid steer with a tree spade but not with that big of tree. Their great for smaller trees though.
Thats the best bonus stuff i ve seen !!
Hope the tree is going to grow again after that bobcat torture.
Has to get water at once and of course to be fixed for the next years.
If you would have gone with the blade first togive the tree a new home you could have given to everything more hight.?
By the way, can you tell me a good excavator 12-15 to with blade? I am searching for a bigger forst maschine ?
Take care Al
nice video, 5*
And in this case the trailer fits in very well after the intro scene I find.
