    How'd it go today?

    Couldn’t say. I don’t drink beer. 😁

    How'd it go today?

    About ten years ago, (maybe more), I came down with the flu, and decided I’d try flushing it out with water. I always have a “water glass” that’s dedicated to water alone. Usually 28-32 ounces. I’d turn it up and drink it when I first got up in the morning, then every time I had to go drain...

    Exercise

    I do planks from time to time, but I find them boring. They’re easier if watching something. I usually pull up a music video on YouTube and watch it while holding the plank. Also gives you a target, based on the length of the video. I’m shooting for a 5-minute plank.

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    My Monkey Beaver 2.0 is almost two years old. I’ve worn out three Weaver saddles and the fourth was some worn when I swapped over to the Monkey Beaver. I usually get 4-5 years out of a saddle. I get around two years out of a prusik (Ice Tail) before I retire them. They’re still usable but...

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    I was contemplating the wear on the stitching itself.

    Exercise

    Rich, I saw a 1-minute plank in round 3 of the workout list above. Do you plank much?

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    I’ve always spliced my own prusik cords, using double Brummels. I see many offered with seen eyes. Those of you that use them, how do they compare to spliced? What’s the lifespan compared to spliced eyes?

    I’ll stick with gens 3 and 5. I don’t care for 1, 2 or 4…or 6….

    Tree covered in poison ivy

    Wow. Thats extreme! I do bathe that evening, just as I always do, (I do scrub a bit more thoroughly), but aside from that, I do nothing. I’ve never even considered washing any of my gear because of it.

    Tree covered in poison ivy

    Just ignore it. It's all in your head.... Seriously, that's a tough question. I pay it no mind at all. I do put my own work clothes in the washer afterward, as my wife is very allergic to it. I know folks who have to go get a shot if they come in contact with it. I have, on many occasions, when...

    What sort of gloves help protect the head? Asking for a friend... :lol:

    What bow did you get?

    How'd it go today?

    Absolutely! But I’d rather burn my 75’ ArborPlex than my 200’ Stable Braid!

    How'd it go today?

    When you’re going to run it natural crotch and burn it up anyway, why NOT use ArborPlex? I’m perfectly satisfied with it. Been using it for 35-ish years now. I use 1/2” for up to 500#-600# stuff, and 5/8” when it gets bigger. I have a 75’ hank that I keep hanging on my side when it’s not in use...

    How'd it go today?

    I still use it nearly every day....:D It will lower a limb just as well as the most expensive rope out there.

    And to post it just three posts after Rich mentioned getting into bowhunting….

    How'd it go today?

    I have two Mathew's bows, and I know some folks who have Hoyts. I don't figure you'll go wrong with either. Just be aware that they're about like computers/electronics....by the time you get home with it, there'll be a new model available. :lol:

    How'd it go today?

    Not that I heard. That be one “complaint” with diesel engines. You can’t hear as much other stuff as you would with a quiet gasser. That Cummins purrs loudly.

    How'd it go today?

    I was headed home yesterday with the gooseneck loaded behind me when I started smelling something getting hot. I was passing a log truck on the RR tracks, and assumed it was his brakes I was smelling. About a half mile further, I was still smelling it. Then I felt something off in the steering...
