But are you not getting out of tree work, as of recent posts from you? That rig is great, too bad on your timing.

Nicely done.

That would have been more appropriate for this task as well :). My personally owned gear is much lighter than what I had to call on in my working life...I was bringing a knife to a gunfight with this job :D. Burned up a couple of prusiks and glazed the main line when the prusiks slipped a bit...

Here are some pics. We have started working on it...I was able to buck and flop the root plate back in place, more or less. I ran out of steam and daylight on Saturday, left the thing tensioned and I felt like it was getting fairly close to tipping point. Woke up the next morning to see it...

That is too much saw for normal human beings to operate aloft :).

No, mine was a pre-Jeep Jeep :). Like this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_Jeep_Station_Wagon

It seems there is never enough room in machines these days, to actually work on them. The last rig I owned that had really good space under the hood was my 1953 Willys wagon :D.

That one was tired, Rajan. I think you got your money's worth out of it :).

How are things standing with the bike these days, Kave?

You live in one weird place, David :). The pics of that canyon with the catwalk and sycamores were great.

I only mention the Trump administration because of the current issues federal employees are experiencing and how Presidio employees might want to be clear-eyed about that situation, Brian. I cannot see where I said anything to make you think I am calling him evil. Any administration on either...

I don't play it, but my sister and one nephew are addicted. There are certainly worse habits to have :).

I think you are whistling in the dark, my friend. I see that the employees are earning federal benefits, and partake in the federal retirement savings plan...to do so, they must be federal employees and as such, are within reach of the Trump administration. It is a National Park, administered...

I don't know what a "wholly owned federal entity" means. Can you elaborate?

There's a man with a mixed legacy, at best.

Of course, these days any consideration of the benefits of Federal employment must be tempered with the reality of how precarious the current political climate makes a job like this look.

Exactly why you can/may get better results, but perhaps that's just my old school attitude, really :). In truth, I only had hand filing to call on, not having access to a grinder ever. So really my opinion is not worth all that much...again :D.

Big treework she's into there. Nice little show. Frankly, I'm quite impressed. In reality, I had near 20 years as a climber and USFS C level sawyer under my belt before I was doing that level of work.

Worked OK this time around. Thanks, Dave.
