Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 13, 2020

Can you guys do your jobs en point?

Gonna look different using bucket lifts. If they use TWO lifts, we might have something here.

I considered hiring them, but they’re tutu much.

If two guys showed up at my house dressed like that. I would say thanks for coming,but i have changed my mind. Then i would go hire someone else.

Ya gotta say this: these guys are on their toes….

Thankfully, I don’t care that much about my trees.

I just hope that guy gets rid of his cigarette before performing.

With all that gear, the “graceful” bit may really apply. Theater-magic.

I would imagine they’re on their toes and do great flying leaps tu-tu!

Something about the sound of roaring chainsaws destroys the effect.

LOL!

At least the hats are logo-free.

Ya gotta love uniforms on Ballard Street.

It’s aerial ballet as they swing on the ropes from tree to tree.

Low bidders. Just make sure they’re insured.

Dressed for the job.. The knee pad is a nice touch, one never knows when you might land on a knee.. especially with some of that rigging.

Ballsy Ballistic Ballard Ballet Balladeer Ballyhoo?

They would totally not survive outside of Ballard Street. I have five acres with woods, so I have my tree guys on fast dial. I was talking to one of their workers one day about the dangers of chain saws. He told me a story of how one bounced back and gashed his leg to the bone. I asked him about stitches, etc. “Oh, I didn’t go to the doctor. I put some duct tape on the wound and kept working.”

I understand the nature of their work, but are men allowed on Ballard Street without cardboard inserts?

The cigarettes dangling from their mouths really sells it.

They jete their branches and pirouette the leaves. Then they go to the barre for a nightcap.

This is disturbing.
