    Toyota Trucks

    Ha! Ha! That would be $8.30 US per gallon UK then. I can't find a gas station which pumps UK gallons; can you find one which does and accepts US dollars as payment? :)

    Action needed on BMP's

    Re: Action needed on BMP\'s Don't know how "for in the field" changes would need to be made, but: in "suitability for preservation early in the process of development planning", "development" and "planning" are the same thing. Should be "the process of development", "the process of planning"...

    Toyota Trucks

    That's $6.91 / gallon at the "average" figure (gas) in the article using http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi just now. A bit less than 8 but still outrageous.

    Older than a lot of trees

    Tom, my recollection was likely based on pre-'74 experience. Sorry for the dated info... I figured it would be safe to mention since 30 years to those critters is a drop in the bucket. I don't suppose they've relocated Minnehaha Falls, too? :) St. Paul is without a doubt one of the prettiest...

    House built around elm removal

    I didn't really have a point. The picture being oriented the way it was (rather, the camera when the picture was taken) caused a bit of mental instability while trying to right it internally to make better (not the best word) sense of it. I merely rotated the image and used the word "akimbo"...

    Older than a lot of trees

    There were a couple of big old ones at Como Park some years ago. Have a look when you're in the neighborhood at the Internationals.

    No longer akimbo. (not really the right word, but it's a cool one to use)

    Attaching footlock prussik to dorsal attachment

    Norm, the outfit who makes the harnesses I've highlighted has a new product which attaches to any harness. It consists of two pouches containing, well, follow the link and see... Good idea, I think.

    Black Window

    Mike, you'll not need any more background than perhaps some familiarity with "batch files". The comparable equivalents (using the term loosely) in Linux are "shell scripts". Both are merely plain text files containing series of otherwise-interactive shell ("command prompt") commands. Back...

    Attaching footlock prussik to dorsal attachment

    Tom, the work entails maintenance/testing of the kind of stuff you see in a power substation: transformers, switchgear, banks of capacitors, etc. The company doesn't much mess with it once it's gotten down to 480V. I'm seriously considering taking a permanent job with them. I've heard they'd...

    One long week

    Yes, nice job on the pix. The only thing I could recommend to make the task of posting them easier would be to stick them into a ZIP file and upload it to one post which contains descriptions of each pic in order. In this case it would have netted a single file to upload/download 1.4 MB in...

    Attaching footlock prussik to dorsal attachment

    I've been working fairly regularly with a high-voltage electrical equipment maintenance outfit. At the site I've been primarily working the rule is when your feet reach an altitude of 4' you must wear fall-arrest gear. The company has provided the workers with this rig: While climbing...
