The geologic record of the location of Magnetic North has been stored in rocks around the world for Millenia. Not unlike dinosaur footprints and fossils.

What are you talking about? Science is corrupted by greed... A Goddess turned prostitute by greedy corporations... Flat earthers didn't corrpt science....
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as editor of The New England Journal of Medicine” (1).
More recently, Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, wrote that “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness” (2).
The first of these two commentaries on clinical research publications appeared in 2009, the second in April of this year. These statements are being taken seriously, coming as they do from the experiences of editors of two of the world’s most prestigious medical journals. The first article showed how the relationships between pharmaceutical companies and academic physicians at prestigious universities impacted certain drug-related publications and the marketing of prescription drugs. Potential conflicts of interest seemed to abound: millions of dollars in consulting and speaking fees to physicians who promoted specific drugs, public research dollars being used by a researcher to test a drug owned by a company in which the researcher held millions of dollars in shares, failure of university researchers to disclose income from drug companies, company subsidies to physician continuing education, publishing practice guidelines involving drugs in which the authors have a financial interest, using influential physicians to promote drugs for unapproved uses, bias in favor of a product coming from failure to publish negative results and repeated publication of positive results in different forms. The author, Marcia Angell, cited the case of a drug giant that had to agree to settle charges that it deliberately withheld evidence that its top-selling anti-depressant was ineffective and could be harmful to certain age groups "

So answer this as I’m still giggling. Since we are making a clear distinction between magnetic and ‘top’ of the plant north, what is the term for when they have completed their reversal.
Do we try to figure out a new term when the magnetic North Pole is on top of the geographical South Pole? Or do we just swap where the North Pole is on the bottom and upside down like the downunderers
What does it all mean, the namelolgy department will have feild day.

Are we still talking about selling a GRCS? Lol This has to be some kind of record for a thread derail.
Bait and switch!!

I AM thinking about keeping it as I may end doing more subcontracting work. Maybe charge and extra 100 on jobs where it;s needed. The issue is.. that there may not be many jobs whewre it is needed, but when you need it you need it... I made $1,000 that day.. would not have wanted to do the job without the GRCS.

It makes sense that Earth's magma core is in constant flux.(see what I did there?)
Earth has a slowly churning molten core composed of various minerals, iron being one of them, and this results in varying magnetic fields. Plate tectonics is driven by this churning core. The Earth's magnetic fields block radiation from the sun and without this blocking there may be no life at all on our pale blue dot.
Daniel's clinging to conspiracy theories reeks of how vulnerable the human mind is to the type of mysticism that spawned the Heaven's Gate cult.

Perhaps Gaia is thinking ahead and adjusting her molten core to repel our upcoming rendezvous with Apophis in 2029?

It sounds like it has already made you back what you spent, right? I want one, but I don't have the cheese yet. The guy I work with that has one only gets to use it every so often, but when I see an opportunity to get something done a little easier/faster/smoother with it, I bust it out.

Just so it’s not a derail:
Perhaps the increased speed of the feild movement can be attributed to the mono clockwise direction the GRCS turns. Perhaps Greg is to blame and he needs to petition Harkin to reverse the gearing on 50% of the units made to counter this?

I charge much more than $100 for lugging that f-er around.
If there is another way to skin the cat how much time is the GRCS saving you? There is value of owning the right tool for the job.

The opportunity will come, when you need one you really need one the rest of the time it’s just collecting dust.
If you are pretty sure you’d use one 3-4 times per year, buy one on credit.
Mine is nearly in like new condition think I’ve owned it for 6 or so years and used maybe 36 times (wild guess). Certainly takes up space in the shed, yet no way I’d part ways with it.

I used to use a redirect and loader, but don't have the operator to trust with my life these days. That makes all the difference. and thanks maybe 150 is better
Yet another advantage of the Hobbs. A compact yet stout device without a bunch of bit, bobs, parts, crates, and brief cases to drag around. Mine is always in the truck and ready to be deployed in a moments notice. Between the lowering, lifting, speed lining, etc this thing probably sees 75-100+ days a year of action. Literally couldn't live without it...

That's where I see it shine hard is with a very limited crew. As long as you have one competent helper, you two can make big things happen

Once you go double wide milk crate you never go back. The bits and bobs appeal to my gear junkie bent, almost ceremonial in its deployment. All hail and praise to the GRCS gods that made this tree job possible, ignoring the many service drops, and targets plenty in this postage stamp hell hole of a backyard. Lol

I've owned mine for a bit over 8yrs. Mines like new too. I take great pride in my gear and strive to keep all in good condition. Not sure how many times I've used it. My significant other gives me shit occasionally for how much I invested in it and how little I've used it in that span of time, compared to other cheaper gear that I use regularly. She just doesn't see the light.
Not parting with mine either. In fact, I'm looking forwards to getting rid of the regular cab pickup I'm driving now. Want something with a back seat again so I can carry it daily.
The perfect companion for hauling of the GOODS. I broke the handle in my first one, then wrapped it in a copper sheet to keep the handle intact. Misplaced the crate and had to grab another 6gal crate. That one fell apart quickly do to cracking. I took the goods out of the original crate so I could reinforce it with some epoxies in the voids. Still looking for the dang thing.

Never a good thing misplacing a double wide.
