The Tree Spyder

[cory]

Maybe I missed it, but what happened to him, haven't seen him here or @ TB in a long time?

I just saw something I had printed awhile ago from his website, mytreelessons.com, and it got me wondering.

 

[sotc]

He dissapered from here a couple years back, no idea why. Maybe cause we all didn't read his longer posts but that didn't mean we didn't like him

 

[Old Monkey]

I am not sure. No one ever had it out with Kenny as far as I can remember. He's always welcome to pop back in and confuse me.

 

[MasterBlaster]

He had to change careers and just got completely outta tree work. He had to change because of two car wrecks he was in that pretty much crippled him. I feel sorry for the fella, myself. Part of the reason he wrote like he did was all the meds he was on. He was a heavily sedated fellow for a long time.

 

[sotc]

Wow, I didn't know that. I hope things are going well for him now

 

[NeTree]

Kenny was a good guy, for sure.

 

[Ryan]

I've been printing a knot book PDF he let me download from him years back and got me wondering where he could be. He was a good guy to have around for sure.

 

[Cobleskill]

I used to like "I am knot crazy."

 

[PCTREE]

He was here when I first started hanging out. I liked him and respected his intulectual aproach to tree work and rigging. I PMed him about demoing a Wraptor early on as I wanted his feedback but he replied that he was getting out of tree work Sad fo sure

 

[Mr. Sir]

It was sometimes a challenge to decipher his long-winded ramblings and techno-babble musings, but I too miss the little guy.

 

[canadiantreeman]

I remember reading through his posts both here and the TB. He seemed like a very knowledgeable fellow. I hope he's doing well.

 

[Blinky]

Yep, what Butch said, he got hurt and changed line of work, sold most of his stuff to Guy. I wound up with most of his books.
Difficult to read sometimes but he knew his stuff better than most.

 

[Ryan]

I can see having to sell your gear as one last way to make money from an occupation you can no longer do but it seems a shame that he had to sell his books as well. I'm a bit of a hoarder though, and I tend to place value on things that others probably don't.

 

[Bodean]

Like the dust bunnies under my bed.


Kenny was a nut, Super smart.

 

[woodworkingboy]

It seemed like Kenny was really into the physical side of climbing, having been a gymnast when younger. His photos always showed him looking lean and mean. Car wrecks....

 

[MasterBlaster]

And the worst part was he was just recovering from the first wreck when BAM! He was in another. I forget the details, but I think it was supposed to be the other driver's fault.

 

[gf beranek]

Kenny is OK in my book. A gentleman and scholar in the forums.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I always liked Kenny too, but I think that he is one of the reasons I have to wear glasses sometimes. Wore out my eyes reading his postings over and over to try and understand them.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I miss him.

You just had to squint your eyes a bit when you read him.

 

[thattreeguy]

i liked him
he was intelligent and an agile climber
sucks he got out of the work
maybe we can roust him some how

 

[gf beranek]

That web site of his wasn't incoherent at all. A lot of work went int it.

 

[Cobleskill]

Very professional. I enjoyed it.

 

[sotc]

No doubt, crazy in depth

 

[woodworkingboy]

Did Spidey do any post editing?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Negative.
