this Thanksgiving Eve is Master Arborist Kevin Ham. Kevin, how
you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Doing great?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Sean?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
A little change in the weather, just.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
A little bit. Wow, I'm watching those cameras. It's whipping
around out there, and we'll talk a little bit about
working in these type of conditions. I did want to
ask you do turkeys roosts? Do you ever come into
cross turkeys and trees or are they basically groundbirds? Do
we know that? No?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
They roost in trees?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do they really?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
They don't stick around when you come close.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Fire the chain, saw, the go running.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The most you'll see is them flying somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I am pretty they're pretty savvy.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I had an encounter with one once and it was
not a terrified me. It literally people don't realize this,
but if they're like protecting something. They get quite aggressive.
I should have had a chains on, So I just
had a motorcycle and I almost bit the ground spinning
out trying to get away from the turkey.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So yeah, and if they jump up when you're right
there and you didn't see them, you know that that
can be a little startling.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
A little a little, a little bit. So with this
weather and people go, oh goodness, well, Kevin and everyone
at Ham's Arborcare, they're getting in for the winter slog.
Things are going to wind down. It's gonna get nice
and quiet. Maybe do a couple of plows here and there,
but otherwise it's just a good time of year for
your local arborist. Not true. At Hams Arborcare. You guys
(01:56):
work year round, including in weather like like this, and
as we get into the new year and true winter,
your guys are going, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, well, we didn't have a discussion this morning, and
you know, they had put a tree on a trailer
ready for this morning for planting. Okay, and so I
you know, I probably encouraged us to go out today
because while we got that tree on the trailer, I've
got a couple of trees I got to put down.
You know, let's just go do it. Maybe we're home
(02:28):
by noon and getting warm, so we'll see. It's pretty
blustery day today, but we'll we'll get some work done
with it. Just you know, there's no such thing as
bad weather, just bad gear.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's the one with important. I gotta remember that with
my with my son when he's getting ready for school
later this later this winter, because yeah, can you give
me a ride. It's like you can see the school
from our put on your boots walking, this is Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I am dressed differently today than I was.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, yes, yes, does with this stuff then, like with
this kind of weather and things. Obviously wind can can
have an effect on projects and other things, but for
the most part, if it's as long as it's a
calm day, and obviously if we're dealing with like blizzards
or things, a different story. But like for folks that
are that you know, over the summer, like, oh, I
should call Kevin, I should call Kevin. You should call
(03:26):
Kevin now because there's a there's gonna be a lot
of really great days for you guys to get out
and take care of take care of trees, and get
some really serious work done in the cold weather. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Absolutely, you know all of our pruning and removals can
be done in the winter. And the famous question, how
can you tell the difference between deadwood and live wood
without the leaves? Because there are more details involved in
understanding deadwood and live wood than just the lead. The
buds are formed already for next year. Oh really, on
(03:59):
every tree out there. You can go up there and
look closely at a at a branch that's down close
to you, and you'll see these nice, vital buds ready
to burst in the spring. They don't just grow in
the spring. They they are formed by July first usually
UH for the next year, and they just sit dormant
(04:21):
through the year. But they are full of color and
very obvious to the eye.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Wow. Well, I remember you talking about this previously, and
I guess I hadn't really I got to remember that
that there's still there. I was gonna ask you about
this as we as we talk about taking down trees
and trim and trees and of course all the all
the logs and timber that's that's created from that. We've
talked about the boilers and UH and the and the
(04:49):
portage and main boilers that you have at Ham's Arborcare
and Game of Trees. Uh, we start getting into temperatures
like this, I'm gonna guess they're starting to get a
little bit of a workout, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, definitely. We haven't had to fill ours up anywhere
close to full so far with the mild temperatures, but
now today we're probably going to fill her up tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And for people that don't know the portage and main
boilers you carry them at Hams Arbor Care. Of course,
it's a really great partnership, a really high quality, a
great product, and really fits well and works well with
what you guys are doing for folks with those, you know,
whether they've got like a workshop, or they've got maybe
maybe some other type of area, or they want to
find ways to heat their house not only affordable kind
(05:38):
of off the grid or other things aroundto property. These
portage and main boilers, aside from being actually really beautiful looking,
they're also very efficient and very very well designed, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, definitely. They're They're made to you know, heat multiple buildings,
you know, so you can have heat going in different directions,
you can you know, get by with you know, feeding
in the morning, feeding at night. I know for us,
(06:11):
we could go all the way through the weekend, you
know with the milder temperatures, depending on how much you
put in there. So they they're very efficient the way
they heat the water. I was watching the other day
the fan comes on, the combustion fan comes on at
one hundred and sixty degrees and then shuts off at
(06:34):
one hundred and eighty and I was watching about every
you know, twelve to sixteen seconds the degree was going up.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know, that's pretty fast recovery. And so they're very efficient.
They have actually less water than a lot of boilers,
and that's actually what helps that recovery really and adds
to efficiency rather than because if you lose, if you
(07:04):
lose the heat in that water, it takes that much
longer to heat it up. So having less water in
the jack actually a more favorable situation.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's fascinating is are they a Canadian company? By the way,
having gone, we are, okay for folks that don't know,
if you ever get to Winnipeg, there's an intersection. And
it just kind of dawned on me this morning when
I said, I thought, wait, I've been to Portage in Maine.
I wonder if there's a connection. There's an intersection in
Canada and Winnipeg Portage in Maine, and it's known as
(07:37):
like the windiest intersection or something weird like that in
the world, which would make perfect sense if you're looking
to create heat. Who knows more about heat than Canadians
dealing with cold Canadian air and windy Conde. Well, today
I learned I put two and two together. Man. As

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
