How'd it go today?

Climbing hatchet example

 

[lxskllr]

I use my old TrueTemper boyscout hatchet for climbing. It's not an every time thing, but I clip it on if I think I'll need it. No tether though.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I keep all three wedges and the hatchet clipped together. Each wedge has a key chain biner. Hatchet has a larger. I can clip the group to a side ring or d ring, drive wedges and not lose them or drop the hatchet. Stays anchored to me. Unclip wedges as needed using the hatchet larger crab as their molly

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Please note that stuff does not come up with me every climb. If I suspect I will need the set ups, I will take them up or have sent up as needed. I don't climb like a Linus with his blanket. I only take what I plan to need each stage of the climb. Or have it sent up as needed.

 

[Treeaddict]

Climb like Linus with his blanket😂🤣

Gotta add that to the quote thread!

In seriousness, great advice!

 

[Treeaddict]

John, I’m going to get those dowels. Great tip. I just added para cord to a wedge to take up.

Fiddler,
Do you know Edwin Huizinga?
He played with the Brandywine Baroque on Friday evening.
I went up to compliment him on his playing after the concert and he gave me one of his bluegrass CDs.
The band is Partita Americana.

Pretty awesome fiddling.

 

[Fiddler]

Don't believe I've run across him before.
I'll give him a listen...

This was a night of fancy-schmancy music. One other couple there we see at the annual bluegrass festival.

I'm laying on the couch, feeling sorry for myself.
10 years ago, just as I refound the later to be mail order bride, I found a lump on my right testicle.
After a lot of screaming and yelling about the unfairness of getting testicular cancer, just as I finally had a use for the damned things again, I went and consulted a doctor.
No worries.
It was something called a spermatocele, quite benign, but it some cases, it keeps on getting bigger.
I was one of those cases.
By now it was the size of a lemon.
Doing 3831 kilometer on motorcycle through Eastern Europe with a lemon in my groin made me decide to get rid of it.
They cut it out friday.....................ouch, ouch, triple ouch.

It feels like being kicked in the gonads by an angry giraffe............constantly.
My dick has turned purple from leaking blood.
Be a looong while before I think of sex again.

So, yes, feeling sorry for myself

 

[lxskllr]

Hope you get better soon! Dunno how you took it this long. My balls swelled when I got lyme, and they weren't anywhere close to lemon size, but still hurt. Hitting bumps in the truck was almost unbearable.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I would feel sorry too.


Dang. Sounds bad Stig.

The boys and Grandma lighting an advent candle and reading.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Not sure what it all means...but they enjoyed it.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I was just asking if you had purchase options for wood biomass from some local distributor. I know it would have to be shipped in.

I should know....but what exactly is Biomass?

 

[stikine]

Typically, wood byproducts formed into bricks or pellets.

 

[stig]

Chipped wood is biomass, in whatever form.

Jenn and Lynley just got back from moving cows.

Went to the national forest yesterday with all the ladies to cut trees.

The red alder I demo'ed the other day yielded big elf boots.

 

[lxskllr]

I like those boots.

 

[FireFighterZero]

That isn't one of those trees that loses all the needles is it?

 

[SeanKroll]

Doug- fir, not larch/ tamarack.

This one will lose all the needles, this year.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Sure its not one of them Balsams?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

So. More shit. I swear I pissed off the universe some how. Start diesel this morning. Loud knocking and tons of smoke. Shut right off. Something must have cut loose.
Refrigerator (not very old) is not cold today.
No noise from the compressor. Seriously. WTF.
