Took this pic of the little maple yesterday. Almost time for "retrenchment!" Wondering if I could prune the roots to slow the rapid growth. It gets a lot of water from sprinklers on the flowers.
Man, Reg, you must have loaded your pics and sent em out right when I was composing my novel of pedestrian res. pics. That stick was AWSOME. Not many people get to take those down anymore. Stinkin sweet.
They're amazing on hooks Griff, They're a stiff boot, and take some breaking in, but they're very grippy in the tree. I haven't had them long enough to comment on long term durability, but so far they're holding up great.
I have a couple pics on my dumb phone but have no way to get them on the interwebs. Anyone here willing to have me text you the pics and then email them back to me so I can get them on my computer?
Willie do you ever off set the pulley from the lowering device, so the pulley isn't directly over the device so the rope wont get smashed by the log against the spar? Just curious, thanks

Yeah, we do, don't worry much with soft wood, we put the lowering device where we want it to put the ropeman out of the way and the block Where we want it. Some times they line up, sometimes they don't
Corey/Willie: HA! I just finished telling my super-new ground guy... "YA see son??... Ya NEVER put yer rope where you could just knife through it with the piece that'cher takin off it!"... only to defy my own rule, like, two chunks of pine later. He was like, "Hey!... what's up with that, boss?? I was just like, "AHHhhhh... Try. Just TRY, to keep yer mouth shut, will ya?!"
Coupla shots...
Here's the butt-stick of that pine I was talking about.
O.k... Here's ahh... in no particular order. Oh wait.. no... here's today's Lam-Root-Rot Fir that I high-stumped off a wedge-bang, at about 50', to avoid smashing the fence...
Here's the logs, and the High-stump...
Most of my corronetting is done via a modified Bart Simpson motif, however, It seems that some neo-classical Burger King influence has inadvertantly crept into my lastes piece. MAN i HATE convention!!! DEFY convention, brothers!!! Let art LIVE!!! Let art BREATHE!!! NEVER. Simply, NEVER, EVER, ever, ever, ever... do this... ...
Ohh... here's another LamRootRot Fir that I fell. It was weird... I thought that I was creaping too close to the fence, so I blasted-off my near corner. The corner-zip didn't do a thing (Too little, too late, I suppose.), but it dead-centered the shot anyway. Nervous Nellie, I tell ya... Look at that root-rot though... They're all like that in there. (Boeing's Bellevue plant.)
