    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    Sets up a great tie Portugal v Spain. I’d be suprised if Spain don’t win it.

    Poor performance overall, but Mexico (in Mexico) awaits.

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    He is a top class manager. When he finishes over there (and especially if the USMST has a good tournament) He won’t be out of a job for long.

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    Back in 94, the last time you hosted it, the best thing I heard about the US team was that their greatest strength was they don’t know how shit they actually are. They are a much better savvy outfit this time, lots of experienced pros who’ve played in the top leagues. Quarter finals (last 8)...

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    Often the way (in all sports) Turkey had no jeopardy, they were already out, so they went for it, no fear.

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    I watch at home, the games kick off too late in Europe to be out and about. I see the US will likely get Bosnia in the round of 32, a very winnable fixture. Then who knows? A chance to go deep into the tournament. France are the favourites, and rightly so.

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    Beating Croatia was a really good start. The draw against Ghana was disappointing but not the end of the world. Once the knockout stages start the drama begins.

    Well, he’s not englands most important player, and he’s not really pulling up any trees at the moment tbh. But sure, a soccer World Cup thread, why not?

    Storing a branch manager

    You don’t need to do all that cycling and dust cap stuff on an Avant.

    Storing a branch manager

    Bring an old car tyre and put the grapple arms in that (shut) then it sits up nice.

    reg coates climbing and rigging is next level

    Ok….I think I get it. I don’t got it. Ok, now I think I got it, the crab for attaching the rope to the log strap is not at the end, but attached to a friction hitch which can be moved up and down the bull rope to provide a tail for use as a tag line. Clever, I guess you’re messing with...

    Good stuff as usual. What’s this set up about? I see the tagline, but there’s a pulley and prussik type arrangement.

    Oak Bramble?

    My nephew taught me a good line a while back. He was pricing a dismantle at a £1000, the client balked at the price and said he thought £500 was more like it. Robert replied ‘that has not been a £500 tree for a good few years now’

    I like that line, going to steal that!

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    As you know Sean, I’m a big advocate of NC rigging and climber lowering in the right circumstances. Just as an aside, I’ve been caught out a few times over the years by certain species at certain times of the year, specifically poplar in spring when the bark can separate from the cambium very...

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    Good question, we definitely have no real words for these little options.

    Today....

    Missed this. I tell my apprentice climber that it is the job of the groundsman to watch out for this where possible on big blocking down work. Even a quick ‘am I alright here?’ Is 2 seconds work. Glad you were tied in elsewhere.

    Broke two rules and paid the price.

    I know that feeling. Anyway, sorry to see this, I was thinking about you today, you’re 68, you’ve done bloody well to still be bending your back in anger with a saw. I’m 63 this year if I’m still at it at 68 I’ll be a happy man, but I hope circumstances don’t bring it to full stop in the same...

    Yes, if it’s not too much trouble could you (the op) provide more detail.
