So whadja do today?

[Derek]

Wires are wires..the storm damage shot makes me think of my
State Emergancy Service work up in Queensland....Where are all those photos Hmmmm???

We dident useually have the convience of a bucket...All done by hand. And from time a crain(just to bring masters blood to temp)
I'll see what i can dig up

Thanks Matthais.. They get pretty close. Are they live in1st shot?
What u.f.o I see a fried bat on some other line..Or Is I t?

Stafty first.... Derek...

 

[matthias]

Heavy duty rigging. I lowered this branch but I did eventually play the secondaries like guitar strings by the end of this span. Thankgod they were coated cause those bare ones put on a nice show when they kiss.

 

[Derek]

Did ya see what ya were lowering it from.

 

[matthias]

Yes Derek they are live lines in the first shot but the coating (not insulation) seems to buffer the heck out of it. Watch out for bare spots though. That ufo could be a brief glimpse at the hole in the ozone or sawdust in the lens depending on how imaginative you are this morning. Fried bat was a good idea.

This line was right against the trunk but permanently dead so the tree was let off with a rape job.

Do you mean the "rigging" point? The beauty of the small stuff is getting away with stuff like that.

 

[matthias]

We picked this guy up for a few weeks and he was funny as helll. Wore orange rubber Husqvarna boots and did a great job with no whining.

 

[Derek]

The veiw from the bucket looks good,,,Heres one of what I look at

Just hope its the wright one ..now apparantly...I have to use "Folders"and stuff to sort these pics out?? Theres too many different saving attempts,resizing attempts and renaming going on even my poor wife (Toni) is bewildered at the mess her fav toy is in opps ...And dont start me on glens help

 

[matthias]

Aw jeez here comes a classic. Check out that pole strap.

 

[Derek]

Well fed lad...I dont think you could pay me enough to work in the snow $$$$

[Derek]

RE lowering point (got to learn tha quote thingy
But if it breaks it looks like it will smash you in the head!!
Just seems like it could tear backwards ..and that would happen real fast..

 

[matthias]

I may have posted this in the "Party started" thread but I got nothing better to do so here come some more.

Maybe I'm too cocky or just stupid but Elms are frigging solid and there was no shock loading that limb. I will take it as a lesson and probably not repeat it.

 

[matthias]

I guess I'm trying to get my post count up. I love viewing everyone elses pics so I better pay my dues. Here's the boss doing his thing (trying to remember how to tie knots).

 

[matthias]

One handed Sally doing some residential work. That's a tough habit to break....especially when you don't try.

 

[matthias]

I'm almost done

I'll finish with some recreational stuff. No hardhat no problem.

 

[matthias]

Warm December day.

 

[matthias]

I have a unfinshed roll of film (20 out of 24) that I may just develop anyway. Until then this is it.

 

[Derek]

Goodnite... regards Derek...

Well, that's part of your problem.  Files are stored in directories.  I don't know where the hell "folders" came from but the additional confusion certainly doesn't help people learn their way around a computer.  Another idiotic thing to be suggesting as good is use of blank spaces in file/directory names...
