    How'd it go today?

    Cloud watching. Chilling. Lots of chasing each other around. Trip to the nearby park to play on the jungle gym and slides. Also a visit to the Iron Hill Museum where his mother when she was 8 years old won the competition to name the taxidermy bear (“Blackberry”). A nice hike through the iron...

    Old Timers - Was The Blakes Hitch Pretty Cool When Released?

    I started on Manila with a tautline hitch back in 1974-1975, and tightening it and rolling back the part of your tail as it crept was just part of your day. It wasn’t until about the mid 1980s that we got our first synthetic ropes, settling in 1987 on New England Safety Blue but still on a...
