What Do You Suck At?

[Old Monkey]

For me its setting a line with the throwball. There is a fair chance I will launch that thing behind me and hit someone. Occasionally, when no one is watching, I make my shot but most of the time I stink up the great outdoors. The Bigshot was an easy purchase to justify in terms of time and in hiding my inadequacy.

I also have a hard time tying a boline in the bight despite practice.

Your turn.

 

[Peter]

I really struggle to tie a Distel. Always takes me 3 or 4 goes.

 

[stehansen]

Advancing the climbline.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I suck at working in this heat. Other than that, I'm awesome!

 

[SoonerFan]

Drinking through a straw.

 

[Burnham]

Doing anything halfway. Even when it wouldn't make a tinker's damn worth of difference.

And like OM, throwbag is a weak point, never get enough practice, and even when I'm on my range is abismal.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Estimating/ bidding.

 

[flushcut]

Using a hedger.

 

[Peter]

Particle physics is another weak point.

 

[blue]

Keeping hold of money.

 

[simplypete]

communication through written word and talking in front of a crowd.

 

[Cobleskill]

I have to think about bowline on a bight too. I usually use Alpine Butterfly, so I don't practice it much. My son thinks B on B is the easiest knot there is to remember. Everybody is different. I suck at lots of stuff. Have to narrow it down.

 

[sotc]

Remembering to do things

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Estimating/ bidding.

Me too.
And finishing the job in the time I said previously.

Displacement without a high tie-in point.
Working with the spurs.

 

[Tucker943]

Tree work

I'm with Pete. My writing and speaking skills suck. I struggle at it. It's no wonder. I got straight F's all through school. The only reason I manage with the publishing is I can spend a week or more on a ten minute script. Slow but sure does it for me in that department. Speaking skills are even worse. I've about given up on that all together.

But give me a gallon of saw mix and a strip of fair standing trees,,, watch out!

 

[flushcut]

Paper work, Pool, there are more I'll post them when I think of them.

 

[Porkbrick]

avoiding collisions when backing up into/pulling out of the yard. and the throwline

 

[SkwerI]

Footlocking and negative blocking.

 

[Paul B]

I suck at talking slowly.

 

[jefflovstrom@sb]

I also have a hard time tying a boline in the bight despite practice.

Your turn.

For me, a bow-line on a bight was my first saddle. Darin, are you left-handed? Try it right handed. I am not being a smart azz.

 

[Bodean]

The throw ball, It's my own mystery.

I've thrown over my head backwards across the high voltage wires, once.
embarrassing a little.

 

[Old Monkey]

Did it melt or just sit there?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Foot locking and advancing my line. I get around the advancing line issue by setting more from the ground and planning.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Did it melt or just sit there?

I'm sure it just sat there.
