    Isa website so bad it’s embarrassing

    I was at the Southern Chapter meeting this past week and Caitlin Pollihan was there touting the updates to the website. Someone who should look at it isn't. It frustrates the Crap out of me.

    Samson Tango Ivy splice type?

    You will never splice 16 strand again. Use a wire fid for the final bury of the core and taper the core a bit, just at the end after you put it into the fid, but before you pull it into the cover and it will slip right through.

    Ban bamboo.

    If my memory serves me correctly, (And I'm getting to the age where it can play nasty tricks on me), the Callery Pear and its other brethren were developed in Ohio nurseries. I find that somewhat ironic.

    F450 surplus auction ambulance as equipment truck and tow vehicle???

    One of the local hacks has an old ambulance that he uses for a gear hauler. Across the top of the box in front he has in backward lettering "Treemergency" so it can be read in your rearview mirror. Also the name of his business is "Shade Killers" I just shake my head.

    Legends of the Geezers 2026

    Hoping to be there but on the injured reserve list. I managed a "Near complete tear" of my right hamstring and won't be able to see a Dr. until the week after the event. I'm not going to risk any further damage. I really do want to be there though.

    Sycamore and Elm climbing.

    I agree with the comments regarding Elm trees. The tight crotches and stuck ropes are a bitch. Sycamore and London Plane leaf dust is worst in the spring when the leaves are young. I have also been affected in winter when the seed balls break apart as well. My daughter has about 60 London Plane...

    Favourite SRS rope?

    I'll second the Marlow Vega and xstatic is a close second. I'm not fond of the RRP so I have returned to the OG Rope Runner. I also use the Sticth hitch and Matt Cornell hitch on both ropes with good results.

    We have about 140 employees in the division. Needs a good leader. I don't have that special piece of paper so they wont even consider me, even though I am filling half the requirements of the position. I don't want to have to deal with employee issues anyway.
