Med Mal is kind of a niche thing, not everybody will do it. Look in a big city, find someone that will do personal injury, they will have a contact that does Med Mal. I have a friend in the City that does personal injury, and he has a friend that does Med Mal so I send anything through him and he vets the case. Ya gotta have balls of tungsten and a big war chest to do med mal.

Thanks man! It’s fun. I know more about trigonometry than I ever thought I’d have to use in my lifetime.

Gonna focus on our ecological restoration business we started 5 years ago now. Woodworking was really just a safety. :money_with_wings:

Great hustle! Your smart bro!

Are you serious? You got the good pills! Lol. Are you sure you work there? Who let you on the computer. Your not trying to escape again are you? Your screen name worries me @FreeAtLast. Just playing with you. I read a real interesting book about a psychiatric hospital in New York. It was about Bellevue and was nutts. You got some good pcp stories? Let’s hear one.

Lost in the wilderness for decades without a pathway out.

May I suggest a few crosses for the tubes? Common grass, Red Pine, bamboo, and whatever weed you got kicking around. Splice and mesh d.n.a in those areas.

im ttly jealous of your world in that shop. thats like a wet dream to me

is that weird to say about wood work?

I don’t take many pics at work but I’m a “floater” at my landscaping company, some days I run lawn crews, some days I fertilize and spray chemicals on lawns and trees and shit, some days I fix all of our lawn equipment and tractors and what not, some days I run cleanup crews or tree and hedge trimming crews, winter time is usually plowing and shop work.

Snowblower for our Kubotas, some of our lawn equipment a couple years ago, and a reason why not to use a knife as a pry bar

Not at all! Hahah. That’s how I feel about it too. I miss going to work at that shop sometimes.

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner @catapult. We focus on restoring and protecting native areas. Many folks don’t even know they have an issue until it’s too late. Most are plants that have been introduced to help prevent erosion, but none really are effective at that. There crown vetch, teasel, old world bluestem, Chinese bush clover, Johnson grass and so many more. Without first hand experience most might not see these as an issue, but if you come to some places with me, you can see a monoculture of many of these plants, and they do that on their own. Not like a field of planted corn.

So we help people survey their land and make a management plan for defined invasives. We provide plants and seeds that are native to our area and also do prescribed burns (my favorite).

But we have 20 acres and about 15 of it is remnant prairie (meaning it’s been there for ~20,000years or about there) it’s amazing how diverse the plant population is here. This is what most people wanting to protect their land, strive for. It’s necessary for there to be diversity for life to progress. In fact there an obligate host plant for one of my favorite bees.

This blue sage bee only uses the Blue sage plant as it host. It’s even cooler because the blue sage bee is a nectar thief. It pokes a hole in the bottom of the flower pod and drinks the nectar through there.

Anyway. It’s really a job that encompasses a whole lot. Trying to help the ecosystem. Like mitigation of erosion from storm water runoff from housing developments. We install native plants that are deep-rooted and help to infiltrate the water into the ground before it erodes away people backyards.
