Maybe it was a "FALSE" crotch!:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

I tried to warn that boy about milking bulls...

 

[ROPECLIMBER]

Well anyway,

I practiced putting my throwline over a 80' crotch, then tying a running Bowline around it, and setting my rope up there, then retrieving it with the throwline attached.

Climbed up to the crotch and gave it a pat(actually took two tries cause I didn't trust the bowline, so I went back down, pulled it down to check it and re-tied it with a longer tail and stopper knot that I tied my throwline behind to be sure it didn't slip off the rope).

It didn't seem very high on the way up because of the canopy around me, but when I got to that high crotch I could see forever, Daaaaammmmnn!

Is the tree pollen (oak & pine) affecting anyone? I swear I got high off it the other day. Working and sweating, breathing hard along with it, we were removing a large group of new growth pines and the pollen in the air was thick as smoke. A while later, for about a half hour, I was dizzy and felt like I hyper-ventalated but hadn't. Can this type of thing happen or was it maybe something else? I can't think of anything else different that day.

Not sure about the pollen affecting you, maybe you're allergic.

Those pines definitely put off a lot of pollen, I've seen it come off so thick, when the wind blows, it looks like smoke.

I like the way that Yosemite tie off puts the tail out of the way, seems to let the bowline wrap around the branch better too.

Not allergic. If I were, I'd be a deadman by now! Rain most of last week and then warm weather popped the pollen all at once, pine, oak, honeysuckle and autumn olive. A little rain today brought some of it to the ground and made yellow mud everywhere.

I try not to do much cedar (mountain juniper) here in feb. when you chip it it blows a yellow cloud and the chunk and duck back blows the cloud so you get dusted If you dont chunk and role just right.It will affixiat you, cleared a lot full of 3-6 inch re-growth about 3 years ago in feb and it layed me up for a couple days,think I built up an imunity to it from the over dose. I used to be allergic to hackberry and pitisporughm too, but over the years of bieng coated in it I built up an amunity to it,

Oh Carb, some of the rock climbers on You tube posted the bowline with yosemite tie off with about 6-8" tail then tye a double fishermans as a backup but looked bulky,

Not sure what it is but something here has some kind of narcoleptic effect on me every Spring. Not quite as bad as James but something makes me really lethargic and sleepy while working every Spring. I'm sure it's some type of pollen.

 

[ROPECLIMBER]

We didn't have a real spring flush the last two prior years of drought, so this feb-march with all the rain set record pollen levels and my imunity was off gaurd from 2 years of deasert conditions and declining trees, cant remember the cedar pollen levels but they were record level this spring here, then ash, then oak, abril was dry again but have had a couple of good rains in may so far.

I kinda like the double fisherman's it stays put better than a figure 8.

Got back from a 5 day trip to Zion NP. Filled my pick up full of chips from one stump. Not even half of it cleaned up yet. And the dump trailer is out on loan to a neighbor right now. Tedious. I get bored and end up toying with the idea of filing all 49 cutters on my 460 from round to square, dangerous. Someone take my file away please...

 

[bootboy]

Bid 2 locusts that are half dead each. Owner offered to rent a dumpster so I didn't have to haul. I won't argue with that. I'll take what I want for firewood and scrap the twiggy stuff.

An oak that had to be pushin 5' DBH fell on hydro lines across the road. We shut the road down with and picked away at it with the very very very disgustingly slow hydro crew. Thank god it wasn't 100 degrees out...... View attachment 239415View attachment 239416View attachment 239417

Ran around all weekend meeting new clients and doing odd jobs. Off to work today to finish up some small stuff. Phone's been ringing off the hook lately. Where I am, a lot of seasonal homeowners are here for the weekend for the first time and all want their trees taken care of TODAY. Not gonna happen.

Guy called looking to get some trees removed. By the time I called he gave it to somone else but explained to me that over the winter, someone had gone onto his property and his neighbors and cut a lot of large pines for what he calls " no reason". I explained to him there is always a reason and I explained to him some ideas. Later, I drove by the property and could tell where the trees were cut and obviously could see why. There was one home that had an oppourtunity to get an ocean view if the trees were cut. Don't know if the police are involved.

That's crazy, so u think the neighbors who now have a beautiful view of the ocean are responsible? Sounds like it huh? I would be so pissed! Were the trees cut down completely or just trimmed way back? Either way that's effed up!:msp_mad:
