Just remembered! Thought it was humorous at the time since the tires were worn anyway.

I was high up a sidewalk tree loping it when somebody complained from below that i was blocking the sidewalk with the fallen limbs. I stated i left the legally allowed clearance of 4 feet and I i would finish cleaning up AFTER i was done trimming trimming..

Not satisfied he said he would talk to my boss and started taking down the phone number embossed on my truck.

"I am the boss." I stated

"Oh yea? well here ya go BOSSMAN!!!"

POP! SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Guy took off running.

Right in the sidewall where it couldn't get fixed.

Good thing i didn't see his race/face.

Might get me in trouble here one way or the other.

Yea, I have vehicle alarms.
