    Eminectin benzoate rates

    Did anyone hear how the predatory wasps experiment turned out? Also, if you treat your (customer's) trees, even for years on end, and someone within striking distance leaves their trees as bug food, the moment you go lax on treatment your trees are gone. Best efficacy of any treatment I recall...

    Maintenance… daily or when needed?

    Be honest is quite the foot to put forward on meeting the group.

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    Some ash species are preferred first and when the cupboard gets bare IIRC then they'll settle for dining on green ash. pls do a search because of IIRC caveat

    Stump Cut Troubles

    Odd grained flares often make odd non-centered loading on the dogs and handle, which gets exacerbated by larger yanking required by a dulled chain, which usually gets dulled because of crap right near ground level where you're cutting, often embedded right in the flare bark. IMO Hard to win...

    Gas tank vent/jetting

    Agree with the reasoning. What gets me is the small differential of flow activation/onset delta pressure across two seemingly identical vent valves actually made a difference at the carb.

    Air Cannons are not toys but..............

    You've definitely proved there's a lot of pent up energy in a high pressure air tank! I like the part about pulling the 16 oz over your house. :) Nice to see a familiar name.

    Gas tank vent/jetting

    I was just Sherlock Holmsing my friend's old Homelite. Cleaned the carb, new fuel line, fuel filter's good, impulse connections sound/sealed, carb kit. Tweaked the mixture screws all's good. On to the impulse pressure oiler. Remove some clogs, confirm rate valve, tight feed hose fit, but...

    Tree video drama

    There's some threads with optimising pull rope angle/attachment height and pull position distance from base of tree with fixed length of rope. With some digging they could be found. High 2nd tree trunk(s) redirect or pulls gains you rope angle perpendicularity. But you've got to consider...

    Artemis II

    Anyone detect a general theme of malcontent and antagonistic argument, stirring the pot? Maybe it's become time to roil the masses, sensing weakness. That type of activity does occur. Sometimes with concerted effort and tenacity. A year or two back the roil-ers took a break. Don't presume...

    Knee ascender attachment

    Needing to freshen up/replace your bungee can sneak up on you slowly. Very valid point. I was ascend attachment on mini loop on chest harness that drooped to belly button under load and stow bungee clip to harness leg strap same leg, just below lower bridge attach ring. The mini loop had a...

    Tree video drama

    I'm not quite sure how to take the cheap clone saw vids. "You get what you pay for (you idiot what'd you expect?)" or Eternal optimism "great new deal of a product on the market check it out (it surely won't be a disappointment like the last one) or There's common knowledge and industry...

    Knee ascender attachment

    You can review your setup for hardware overhead or wasted length. Example 1 over foot arch separate strap onto carabiner to knee ascender vs bungee anchored at throat of foot loopie on original Haas. Example 2 bungee exit at top being as low as possible ie out splice to croll on original Haas...

    Artemis II

    The rocket launch experienced as a live audience member on-site probably feels pretty real and not cgi. Or maybe its a 100 square mile outdoors studio effect. They just hid the speakers and projectors. Just kidding. A fellow from Oregon's dad worked on the initial photographic mapping of...

    Someone could chair a discussion of cheap clone saws or felling leaners.

    Log splitter weld job

    Simple weight support components are an easier fix than the main box/I-beam slide structure with knives/cylinder support because the loading is much smaller. I presume this is your case. If the big structure gave way you've got a more difficult proposition. Sometimes with a bit odd fitment...

    OLDS-Overhead Lowering...

    Shoutout to Moray post #102 for spotting the concept "tension ratio" which I also arrived at after doing almost exactly the same testing - him maple me fir. ratio 2.0:1 DRT 180 deg turn rings a bell. Have to look it up - old feeble brain syndrome :) Names and users gone by. Time moves on.

    Nerd Alert

    In all seriousness radiation protection is quite a complex issue. Simple sunburn didn't quite work into the analogy. I've discovered that least currently there's a substantial rewind capability on all 3 NASA live streams. There is IMO worthwhile stuff to see right during the approach and swing...

    The ultimate helmet camera Perched looking "over the shoulder" of a spacecraft over 200,000 miles from the earth watching the details of the moon surface appear. A short while ago the craft is aimed to go past the left edge of the moon, the sun is coming in from slightly to the left, the right...

    School - one time doing 1 or 2? dead ashes by a fence backing into a school yard, in the middle of summer school's out no kids and I looked and checked every time I dropped something into the school yard. We saw someone was in/on the property inside the school so thought it courteous to...

    WTB - CMI trolley

    On second read I see the bevel on the edges of the rigging plate holes. Bit of an edge there for aluminum biners. My method has been big countersink followed by chain sharpening file to round off. IMO file the outer (lower) load bearing edges for smoother biner contact and less biner wear...
