    The Joke/Funny Pic/Video Thread

    I was in my back yard trying to launch a kite. I threw the kite up in the air, the wind would catch it for a few seconds, then it would come crashing back down to earth. I tried this a few more times with no success. All the while, my wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to...

    Going Against The Grain

    Morning! Some folks here are aware of my battle with familial cardiac disease. 15 years ago today I had my first heart attack (Since then I've had 3 more that the doc's worked on and at least 1 "silent" MI) Over the past 18 months I've been able to turn quite a bit of that around, getting my...

    Rock Exotica chest box choice

    I got the double so I could do a modified mitchell system. I've ended up using Gerry B's system so have only used one of the rollers at a time. Nice feature of the double is that depending on how my climbing hitch rides I can use either the right or the left roller to allow better feed...

    How'd it go today?

    Two small jobs yesterday and today. Both finished way, way under budget. Either we were working in awsome syncronicity or I over bid. And even if we were awesome machines, those jobs were priced right. Bought the guys an after action lunch and paid for thier time too. If we can keep this...

    Is grcs really worth the money??

    We finally got ourselves situated with the GRCS this past spring and I agree with treesmith that our cost per use is fairly steep. However, the time savings it has made on several of our jobs more than made up for it. Our first job outta the chute with it would have had to be dozens of smaller...
