25 years in tech, now trading screens for stumps. Tennessee-based, family-run stump grinding

For 25 years, I worked in web development, building sites, writing code, and solving complex problems for big companies and small ones alike. Then I got stumped. Literally. After dealing with problem stumps on my own land here in Tennessee, I realized how few reliable,…


Not happy with my dog right now.

Yesterday a lead from Google called and said a one-eyed guy in the local bar recommended me. The man may have been a bit buzzed. This lead did not convert, but may be the sign I need to pull my ads for now and focus 100% on Tree Service Software.


Today, after the grinding was done I sat and had lunch with my customers. They told me it was the southern way. And let me tell you, it was a delicious lunch, awesome company and a homemade cookie for the road. Thankful for awesome customers.


Work for people spending other people money.


For anyone following along with my CRM project (Tree Service Software) - CodeX Cli is currently the best "AI" tool for coding. I'm impressed. Flawless? Not at all, but sorry to say it will eliminate the need for many junior devs.


Soooooo a little PSA. Google's local service ads really work, but mui expensivo. For me, $30 a pop.


Back. Great break from the grind. My amazing daughter is now married to a Brit who happens to be an amazing young man. There are no limits to what they can do. Now back to building the Tree Service Software CRM and grinding stumps. Yep, surprisingly - still some demand.


I don't think I'll ever tire of this -

Did 3 stumps for a customer whose house sits right on a golf course. Golf balls and carts whizzing by the whole time. Would I have rather been golfing? Nope.


Maybe useful. Maybe a fluke. 3 leads today from Google's Local Service Ads. I just started this about 5 days ago. It's not Google ads. It's different and requires some pretty intense vetting by Google. It took a while to get approved. I like the simplicity of it better and…

My buddy, Time to Grind of Florida, had a rough morning! Another grinder Greene Machine Stump grinding) came and helped him get it out. Good stuff.

All, Ty is right and I don't want to alienate anyone, but I probably will anyway because I hate not being true to who I am more than I hate people hating me. Here's what I've been hiding. I voted for Trump (reluctantly - I wanted RFK). I think he's done some great things, but I…

Great way to slow down your growth on a non-political focused X account? Dive into politics.



Some days just suck. This wasn’t one of them. 60" stump gone in 38 minutes. Totally in the flow today.


This is Rocky - one of my pups. Someone did him very wrong, but we've had him for about 5 months now and he is starting to feel confident and comfortable in his home. He loves my wife more than any thing in world. Just sharing because I stumbled across this pic and think he's…

Front-line dispatch: Stump Grinding's down to 1 day/week, but web dev's slammed this season. Oh well. Seems it is what it is... for now. Most importantly - The Tree Services Software CRM is going to be a banger. Peace out homies. Hope all is well with you and you and you.


Really? The $2 guy must be grinding stumps with a cheese grater.
