    One Leg Squat

    Oh I guess I was doing pistol squats. I just went by the first youtube video that came up. Been doing pilates which transfers to this a lot. Balance and core strength. Plus I'm not climbing anymore, so my back isn't all fucked up like it was for a decade.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    While China has a trade surplus of 1.3T this past year… Glad to hear so many folks here getting riled up about what’s going on. ICE in MN is hitting a new level of fascist government overreach and we all need to be looking out for our neighbors. In watching the videos I notice they usually...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    I embarrassed myself in the local coffee shop cackling at this joke.

    Happy New Year

    I'm actually really excited about this new year. I have this feeling like a lot of beautiful things are about to emerge spontaneously for a lot of people. (but that's just the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors talking) :birra:

    Closing Thoughts

    I’ve found that the size of objects tends to correlate with how much they weigh you down when you’re ready to let go of them. How much did that rig weigh? I love your story and it is inspiring. I’m on a long pause from climbing right now but I know in my heart of hearts I won’t be able to stay...

    Chain oil in the wind

    $640/gal.

    Covid Close To You

    A lot of things could be at play, including people getting COVID. That’s buggered us all up pretty good. I’m currently recovering from the flu. 0/10 would not recommend. Wish I had gotten the flu shot. Pretty simple solution to a modern day problem. I think your vitriol is misplaced, by the...

    I like big butt(ress) and I cannot lie

    Very interesting. Response growth after storm damage is a whole separate study. That would be a great one to look at. A friend recently sent me a photo of a sugar maple in VT that tipped over in a hurricane in 1939. Still going strong :) This is all work I’m doing voluntarily so time and budget...

    I like big butt(ress) and I cannot lie

    Today is a fun day. I’m going around with my friend Mike photographing giant trees for what I hope will be a book (I’m going to pace out the shooting and writing and hopefully finish in the summer). It’ll include some of the lessons I’m gleaning from studying giant trees. Mike is a deep tree...

    They’re on Spotify too. At least they’re having trouble recruiting people for that bullshit, and that’s even in the midst of a terrible job market. Seriously, I know folks left and right getting laid off, looking for work, SNAP benefits set to expire- the way this political machine will gamble...

    How brainwashed are you?

    So I think the kind of fallacy of the whole thread is that if your position is that we are all brainwashed, and we have to question everything because everything we have been taught to believe is false, that position, in and of itself, could be seen as its own kind of brainwashing. Nothing is as...

    How brainwashed are you?

    There’s a lot of pressure to conform though, especially for this example. I was penalized at first when I stopped standing for the pledge of allegiance during the Iraq war at the beginning of school. One (substitute) teacher made me write an essay about it. I was 13. You can call me unpatriotic-...

    Bids Won vs Lost | A discussion on bidding and quoting

    Yesterday I had to drive by a newly lion-tailed silver maple I cabled a couple years ago. This was on a dead end street a family member lives on and I’ve climbed almost all the trees on the road at this point. It kill me because the tree is now way more hazard prone- what a complete waste of...
