Well, since that fool moved his crane, we could start on the lawyer's dead pine. Crap was everywhere, sprinkler heads, sewer cleanouts. Bleah!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Today was overcast, I guess that's why the darn pics came out friggin' dark. Nothing like an early morning ascent!

 

[MasterBlaster]

The regular roping guy wasn't there today, so the owner ran the ropes. It sucked. He thought he knew what to do, but he didn't pass my criteria.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I had a tiny LZ to push the top into, so I needed to get the top as small as possible.

Hey! A new abbreviation! ASAP! Wait... that's already being used...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Froze in space, eh?

In light of the recent horse manure being thrown around, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. Three cheers for MB!!! You have restored my faith in AS with the thread that got me hooked in the first place.

It may seem pathetic that I start pi$$ing vinegar everytime somebody posts work photos but I'm the only one I know that does this type of work. Thanks for a little piece of your world. I know pictures of my 30' climbs don't really get anyone's pulse racing but they are all I can offer to this site.

On a side note, it took me 30 tries to set a throwline yesterday. On about the 25th try I kicked the bag as it came down, almost broke my foot and had to go and sulk in the truck for five minutes. That's not the best way to start the day but once I got in the tree all that negativity disappeared.:angel:

Yea, getting mad don't getcha nowhere. I used to get so pissed I coulda busted a blood vessel, but nowadays I can keep my cool a whole lot better.
I only got mad three times in that pine!

I care less and less about more and more and it makes me happy.

The ones I hate is when I let go to late, for some mystical reason I guess ha, and it goes to high in the thin branches and seem hung and then drops right at me fast and hard. Watch the video and wear the hard hat. Odd, I sure I'm the only one to to say nasty comments.

[MasterBlaster]

Dang Gord, all's I got was the sound!

 

[Gord]

hmm you might need the codec from www.divx.com

sorry to do it like that but it was the only way to get it small enough and retain decent quality.
