Working in Smoke
In the 90's I did paving stone. We used to cut all those retaining wall stones with the concrete saw without masks or anything. We died like men.- Muggs

I too have no retirement in sight. I do not seek a life of leisure. Work gives me purpose and identity. You die when you stop moving.- Muggs

He's in his 80's, still working out. I was talking to him about exercise for climbers a few months back. What a legend. This is his weight room:- Muggs

Taxation is easily, far and away, not even close, the largest single category of theft in the USA. -

It's perfect for rec climbing and work, no different. I just prefer suspenders on my work saddle so I run a chest tether off of them. I like the simplest chest thing possible when I take people on a rec climb so that's where my brain goes when I see this one.- Muggs

New HitchHikerXF
That's what you were wearing at TCIA when we talked Richard. I really like that setup, ultra simplistic, perfect for rec climbing. Does anyone know of any stories of actual climbers who got hurt from a neck tether?- Muggs

Has EAB arrived on the west coast now?
I'm an hour and a half east of Detroit and our ash were wiped out long ago. Took down the last dead one on my property 10 years ago. We were treating with that neem oil stuff, Treeazin. Seemed to work for a while, until it didn't. I hope there's better stuff available nowadays, I stopped...- Muggs

Stereo is no more in my 96 F250 so I attached a USB speaker to the visor. There's a huge underground market for nerdy techs to customize all of the needless electronics in modern vehicles eh- Muggs

Burning out
10 years ago I sold half my business to a friend who was good with people. He does all of the front facing customer stuff - calls and emails, quotes, scheduling, follow-up, etc. and I do all the tree work. I'm convinced that tree work is the easy part, people are the hard part. I wouldn't be in...- Muggs

Burning out
I have not found Gerber's books apply well to our industry. Most of the work we do is far too highly technical/specialized/dangerous to think about people in terms of replaceable cogs in a wheel. It takes a special kind of person to go up in the air and get this work done. You can bring all the...- Muggs

ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"
I just always think of sitback like a guitar string, where you can only approach your target from the one direction. With strings, that direction is moving up, tightening - if you tighten up too much then you have to go back down and approach it again on the way up. With ropes, that direction is...- Muggs
