THE CALM ONE!!!!
Well I have not much for pics at all, but I like this one. For me thank god the days of a belt and flipline are over. Now I have endless options for being safe, never ever did like unclipping to pass a big limb but I did it.

Cats paw? A lot of guys just used a half hitch. Loosen it up and push the slack the way you want it and lean back. The steel core manila was too stiff to pull through the hitch.

That's how I learned, called it a Cat's paw or something,
but basically just a half hitch on the D.
I was sketched to begin with but it's a sturdy knot.
I only changed to the gibbs to use just one hand to pull slack.
The knot required two hands.

a lil'off topic; but ol'favorite:
From Snopes.Com:
Status: Proven True...
The design for the living picture was laid out at the drill ground at Camp
Dodge, situated in the beautiful valley of the Des Moines River. Thousands
of yards of white tape were fastened to the ground and formed the outlines
on which 18,000 officers and men marched to their respective positions.
In this body of soldiers are any hundreds of men of foreign birth — born
of parents whose first impression of the Land of Freedom and Promise was
of the world's greatest colossus standing with beacon light at the portal
of a nation of free people, holding aloft a torch symbolic of the light of
liberty which the statue represents. Side by side with native sons these
men, with unstinted patriotism, now offer to sacrifice not only their
liberty but even life itself for our beloved country.
The day on which the photograph was taken was extremely hot and the heat
was intensified by the mass formation of men. The dimensions of the
platting for the picture seem astonishing. The camera was placed on a high
tower. From the position nearest the camera occupied by Colonel Newman and
his staff, to the last man at the top of the torch as platted on the
ground was 1,235 feet, or approximately a quarter of a mile. The appended
figures will give an adequate idea of the distorted proportions of the
actual ground measurements for this photograph:
Base to shoulder: 150 feet. <BR>
Right arm: 340 feet. <BR>
Widest part of arm holding torch: 12-1/2 feet. <BR>
Right thumb: 35 feet. <BR>
Thickest part of body: 29 feet. <BR>
Left hand (length): 30 feet. <BR>
Tablet in left hand: 27 feet. <BR>
Face: 60 feet. <BR>
Nose: 21 feet. <BR>
Longest spike of head piece: 70 feet. <BR>
Flame on torch.: 600 feet. <BR>
Torch and flame combined: 980 feet. <BR>
Number of men in flame of torch: 12,000 <BR>
Number of men in torch: 2,800 <BR>
Number of men in right arm: 1,200 <BR>
Number of men in body, head and balance of figure only: 2,000 <BR>
<BR>
Total: 18,000
<BR><BR>
Incredible as it may seem there are twice the number of men in the flame
of the torch as in the whole remaining design, while there are eight times
as many men in the arm, torch and flame as in all the rest of the figure.
It will be noted that the right thumb is five feet longer than the left
hand, while the right arm, torch and flame is eight times the length of
the body.

the violet hue of the trees in the first pic on the last page of posts is likely a pair of purple leaf plums (Prunus pissardi nigra), a common tree here but unfortunately its purple, nowhere near as intense as the cool shot that was posted. This pic is from the same grotta at Butchart Gardens BC from sept 2005
grrrr. uploader not working again for me. changed file name, changed size, still goes to "unavailable web page" in the upload window. sigh. another time perhaps.

Try closing upload window then reopen MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and see if the picture has loaded anyway, it happens to me sometimes.

'cause chicks dig scars
Had the same problem last night too Paully. It doesn't do it all the time... but it does do it enough to be annoying.
I will usually wait an hour or so and try again. Then it usually works. I have tried clearing cookies, caches, webpages... everything...
But this will still happen. It is the only "glitch" I ever experience on the TH.
I will try that as well next time Carl... I never thought to do that.
