Lets get this party started...

[MasterBlaster]

The groundies I work with aren't sheet for photographers. I guess that's why they're dragging brush. Outta 52 pics, 3 or 4 were worth saving. No biggie.

I can't believe I waited so long before buying a digcam.

Oh wait... now I remember!

Lack of positive cash flow!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I love this part.

I know I'll soon be sipping Gatoraid!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Can't I get no love?

Who's that clean shaven go-getter in your pictures Butch? These young guys are so cocky with their tattoos and one handed tactics.

Is the crane going to snap that piece off or are you going to make another cut and if so where? I'm here to learn you know.

And if you really feel like sharing your knowledge how about learning me how to get pictures in my signature.


edit: Once I looked at the picture again I realized that the crane aint gonna try and break that piece off but I would still like to know how you finished the cut.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ha! I shave when it gets into the 90's.

Are you talking about the 'finishing' cut?

I don't generally do the 'snapping' thing.

On limbs that size, I rely on the tear- hinge to ease the load into position. I was reaching out to undercut/release the hinge.

Lopa was talking 'bout doglegs?

How's this, Butch?

Hey Roger, what'd you have to do to the image to get that?

I like using the old Netscape 4.8 because I can have it use an external program to render images that aren't embedded in the page, or I can right-click and select "view image" on an embedded one and it'll pop up in the external program.  My external program of choice is the "display" component of the ImageMagick suite.  It's actually got interface to all the "convert" component functionality in the unix version, so when an image like Butch's shows, I hit shift+g and get a gamma modification dialogue.

Here's shift+g [enter] for a default-value gamma correction of 1.6:

G'day all

If ya want to fix some thing here's my fav dogleg

 

[a_lopa]

whats the height there derek?id estimate around 80'

 

[Derek]

Hi aussie, that one "outerspace" is about the tallest so far on this line.. Est. 60-70 meters (dont use feet much)

It's for removel (sorry guy) I just have to get it below the wires before I can drop it. I tend to leave stubs on till the way down on most trees along the line they can come in very handey.
In this case i'll leave them on so "ground cutting" doesent get taken too seriously.. More if you want them.. regards Derek
P.S be carefull up there.,

 

[a_lopa]

that sounds a lttle high???

 

[Derek]

only a guess, but I was looking down on the 3rd wire. You could see it for miles Its a shame the groundie dident take the shot back a lot more. have some more of really tall trees with me in them,I still recon this is the tallest Ive been in Hence "outer space regards Derek...
