    Only thing keeping it from being called a "bulldozer" was the elevating work platform. A shotgun would of done the job quicker and it wouldn't have torn up the grass.

    I'm a Firefighter. We sometimes get those calls for cats in trees. Our first question to the person is "have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?" If they dont get it, we go out. A few of my more callous co-workers will take a pike pole off the piece or some will grab a hose and make SWAG on how many 100s of PSI will be required to reach effectively to the height the critter in question is at. Now dementia patients in trees, that is a whole different problem.

    Nice things are slow so maybe the rental companies should work up some marketing off this
