An other clue : when the boxes explode, they blew a cloud of colored dust, but strangely, the thieves come back covered with paint-like goo. I bet that an explosion powerful enough to transform a thick liquid paint in a fog wouldn't allow the thieves to walk away unscattered, if at all. I agree...

It's more a simple split than a barberchair, limited to the very bottom of the log's butt where the hinge is established. The hinge has to be relatively thin to be sure that it works properly, so a full grown barberchair isn't likely to occur. Obviously, more work is needed to get around that...

We got the first frost of the season this morning. Beside an handful of shitty days, the autumn has been pretty nice so far.

I'm not good enough to line up perfectly the ends of the multiple kerfs and I know that one will prevail over the other and break too soon. I had still some success in bending brittle trees like our maple (Acer pseudoplatanus). It came initially from a german vid which received a lot of bashing...

Skinny Ailanthus did that to me too. Not near as in a such dramatic way tough.

Last week, my baby chipper spilled all its hydraulique oil, luckily on some crappy grass instead of the paved alley. It seems that the hydro oil filter on the return line got clogged, the pressure built up behind it and its gasket gave up. That surprised me because I replaced the filter not so...

The top of the one on the right doesn't look very happy though.

And the other next one is how to restore a damaged tractor found in the bushes.

It's just better to live the callus alone. It does its think perfectly as it seems, so don't mess with it.

That gives me like ants in the fingers and the palms all sweaty.

Indeed, but between the desert and the humans, these poor guys have a very hard life.

Is the Maasdam viewed as a weapon?

There is the one just in the previous post but it didn't show for some reason. Just click on it and close the popup window of signing-in for FB, and you get the vid right there. The guy had time to escape, but not the poor car, parked right where it shouldn't be.

I have to show that to my daughter. She used to play the monkey in the sidecar races. She even came at the op of the french championship. The physics are similar to this girl's but on black top tracks with (relatively) well defined trajectories and no random logs or obstacles in the way. Crazy guys.

This was absolutely true for the usual knots. I climbed some years with the knut. The best case in srt gave me a descent with the first pull down on the knot's top. But if I released the knot for a cut or just a bit to slow down, the top tightens and grabs hard the line. So hard that I wasn't...

About the ZZ alone in SRT, It works well for me. I use it all the time on my secondary climb line (66'). It doesn't lock in the descent and it's even a bit touchy. The Akimbo is on my main line (130'). Both are used at will in SRT and DRT mode, up and down, sideway too.

Who plays with the regulator's button? It was 62°F this sunday. Going up again.

It's thought that the slanted cut lives a stop behind the trunk's base to prevent it falling backward, like would a prop made out of a beam. But it's completely delusional, there's zero advantage about it, only potential or real problems.

I missed the peak today too, but it was over104°F at 17:00. Monday, it was a bit less but I gave up a tad before noon. Edge reduction in the full sun. I can do only like 3-4' at a time before taking a break due to overheating. My clothes were fully drenched with sweat and the black top got wet...

I went very close to a disaster. One of my two ratchet straps holding my baby chipper broke on a sharp edge. The chipper backed a bit on my trailer ( not much because it's a tight fit), popped loose the flimsy locks and the tail gate fell on the road. I didn't heard a thing, beside the...
