    “They don’t make them like they used to…”

    I often find that least-cost-planning and/or profit-motive makes items less robust and more prone to prematurely wearing out. I’m sure you can think of other examples, but small ratchet straps are on my mind this morning. Seems those I find readily available have a cheaper nylon, polyester...

    Problems with Zelle

    Just a heads up if anyone uses or are thinking of using the Zelle payment app. Banks are ‘not’ stepping up when fraudulent activity occurs in the Zelle platform. People are losing thousands of dollars. I’m closing my account.

    Annual Giving

    End of year we tend to give out of our surplus. Some we share with those we know from our international travels (we use Xoom to make cash available in their currency in their local bank - they can retrieve it with a code sent by text). Some we give to those around us in need. Lives torn apart...

    Hey all forum members! Plumber in Chicago area??

    I have a sister who lives in Hyde Park (Chicago), and is having some plumbing issues. Anyone know of a decent plumbing outfit in that area? I have two I can turn to here in Delaware, but I don't know any in Illinois. Thanks for any guidance.

    Multiple Friction Bodies for Rope Runner

    Brand new Rope Runner, never used, along with four different friction bodies: original flat, baby bump, baby bump with a small groove, and baby bump with a deeper, longer groove. I sent all this to TreeCareLA so the gang there can try all four on different ropes and do up a video (please) about...

    A lot of chainsaws in Ohio

    Hey, I have been scarce for a while; but had an idea that someone here might be interested in a possibly large number of chainsaws near Wooster and Akron, Ohio. They belong to a fellow I know who is 95 years old, and no longer repairing chainsaws, lawnmowers, tractors, trucks, steam...

    Treeflex harness / saddle

    Safety Technology "Treeflex" saddle. Only about ten climbs in it before I got a Sequoia SRT with the Croll built in on the upper harness and added New Tribe leg pads. Now this hangs on the wall looking lonely. I ordered it from Honey Brothers as you couldn't get them here in the states, and...

    Wanted: Schonstedt GA-52B Magnetic Locator

    If anyone sees one at a yard sale ( up to about $150-ish). They can be had on eBay for about $350. I'd like to have one for the occasional property line dispute ("No, you are not pruning that tree, I am sure it is MY tree..."). Since it isn't an item I have to have, and it will get only very...

    Big Shout out to Fiddler.

    Thanks Dave for the assistance with the stump grinding. Treehousers are a breed apart! It was great to meet you in person, and I'll check in when I am back in the area. I planted the memorial tree for my parents this morning. My work here is done for now.

    Anyone near Ann Arbor Michigan with a stumper?

    I am at my parents' day camp near Ann Arbor (actually right outside Pinckney) on a nice lake and 30+ acres of woods. I've taken down hazard trees and deadwooded a bunch. Is anyone close by with a stumpgrinder? I can rent one for a day for $145, but they are all smallish (SC30TX and down) It'd...
