I did my first SRT work climb today. In the rain. In a wet silver maple. Probably not the ideal conditions for the first go but I had played with the rope wrench and different hitch cords and felt confident i wa sufficiently dialed in to be safe. I have used SRT for access a few times but given...

Yes yes yes on the extensions. The only issue is the need to go with at least 9/16 to get clearance for the extensions.(the attachment end is a bit bulbous) but that route lets you keep going. Even a spade bit and extensions will get it done if you keep backing out to clear chips

Cool Stig! I dropped a big ash in a parking lot for the county today and ground the stump. Filled the truck with chips, firewood guy picked up just under 4 cords. Sorry I haven't been around on the site much. Life kind of goes through cycles and I have been doing so much work that I haven't felt...

Happy Christmas to all!

Tell Joe thanks for his attitude. I was really feeling annoyed about having given myself mallet finger in the left pinkie and what a pain winter work with a splint is going to be. What on earth have I got to complain about?!?

I think I could make a convincing argument for the feline safety factor built into a shot bag. The silver bullet seems harder to defend....esp. if it leaves a 1.25 inch diameter hole in kitty's chest.

I'd expect them to frown on cutting the leader with the cat on it also.:) I think that pegging kitty with the APTA would be "humane".

Interesting Gary. I'd have shot the stupid cat for $55.

Attempting to install a dump hoist on the pick-up. What a pain. Got the hot water heater replaced and the new hot tub cover arrived today so it was a "hot" day.

Nah, we just can't type when we are all choked up and weepy.

Whatever the goobermint plan is it probably will be an utter failure. Start telling every customer with an ash tree to treat preventatively with Imidacloprid as a basal drench.(There are other chemical treatments but as of now Imidacloprid applied as basal drench has the most documented...

However you sort out the money aspect you need to choose friends with more discernment.

You need a really good bend for joining ropes. Hunter's Bend or the Zeppelin bend (closely related but formed differently) or the classic Carrick bend will do nicely. You have stuff in your list that can do the function but linked bowlines are sloppy and the Barrel/Fisherman's knots are...

I don't think anyone can do exactly what the industrial bartacking machine does by hand. However, A sufficient number of properly placed stitches with proper thread will make a bull strong termination.....Though probably not a "certifiable" one. I suspect that a lot of people don't know that...

Good stories about horrible situations.

Worked with aches and fever yesterday. Chills and fever last night. I guess I am going to stay home today.:(

Cut4fun, I just checked the thread. Sorry things went wobbly on selling the 800V. What do you want for that PH?

Most beautiful horizontal trunked specimen I have ever seen.

Obviously I have not been keeping up---Stephen I thought you were hitched and happy. Ugh.
