    Failed White Pine rigging

    I was expecting expecting @Muggs to be sharing an egg on his face story. Cool bit of rigging. I think I saw everything he setup. I would have like to see it in person to make sure I understand the angles and logic.

    Protective chainsaw shoes

    Was going to mention this brand. I have worn the xr200 haix for several years since my employer buys them. Toe box is nice and roomy. My only complaint is it takes me about a full month the break them in. My left foot hurt until the leather becomes supple. I was able to grab several pairs of...

    Join Our Team at Lewis

    I checked the website linked. Each position is posted but not with a unique posting. Positions available in multiple states/regions have the same posting, just with a note where the positions are available. Union positions list the local. Each position should get a unique posting with its pay...

    Tritech 12ft flip line $75 shipped

    Ignore the animation, it's the only audio I can find of this bit.

    Heavy leaner needs to come down sideways.

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I want to see how it goes felling it from the ground...because I have no skin in the game.

    I'm skeptical of the username:confused:

    The joke I got fired over

    While I get this sentiment, part of me thinks there is always a benefit to fighting back, if even just to say, "what you did is bullshit, your reason is bullshit, we both know it, I'm calling you out on it.". It helps to move the needle forward, if even only a tiny bit. Case in point is the...

    The joke I got fired over

    Many don't understand this. I had to have a "come to Jesus" meeting with some coworkers about some the things they were videoing at work and posting to Snapchat and Instagram. What one perceives as wacky fun on the job site can easily be interpreted as bad optics for the corporation. And you...

    The joke I got fired over

    Next time someone wants to know what dark humor is, just tell them to google and watch the comedy stylings of Anthony Jeselnik. His material is the purest definition of dark humor. I'm a huge fan.

    The joke I got fired over

    Please point to the doll and show us where the joke hurt you. Defence attorney probably.

    The joke I got fired over

    My assumption was more racist than the joke. I'll see myself out. I don't know when, but at some point in the future you will look back at this and realize you're in a better place professionally than what this ISP company could have provided. Gotta stand up for yourself though. If they were...

    The joke I got fired over

    Tell HR it sounds like they're firing you for being white. Smells like discrimination. Don't actually do that. If you're going to lawyer it up, it's best to just go quietly without shaking the hornet's nest and let the lawyer do their thing.

    The joke I got fired over

    That's a joke that makes you think about the sad state of society. Don't see how it's racist or offensive. I would want the offended party to explain what was racist about. I would bet money the explanation is more racist than this joke.

    Spurring non-removals

    Devils advocate again...Hard disagree with this statement. By this logic, trains are completely unnecessary because semi trucks can do the job. Or planes are completely unnecessary because busses can do the job. Its all subjective. Spikes are just another tool that help do the job. The use...

    Spurring non-removals

    My same thought. Post it in the Treefree zone?

    Spurring non-removals

    Spur use on live trees is unprofessional but it is far from the boogyman it's made out to be. Better let the cicadas know about making shallow wounds that create pathogen points of entry. (Sarcastic Devils advocate this time.)

    Spurring non-removals

    Devil's advocate point of view...I would argue in court that since you're driving holes in a tree to install a satellite dish, you're clearly not worried about a 1/4" diameter wound...which is about the size wound left by a spur. It's very gray and the argument can be validated with the right...

    Spurring non-removals

    Doesn't matter if it did say it. ANSI is not law. It's a voluntary standard.

    Heavy leaner needs to come down sideways.

    did this with a 3 strand line as the guy line. Rope was tighter than a banjo string when the tree hit the ground. If the rope would have snapped, could have recoiled in a number of people. That's when I learned about the Arc path and the need to play out line at an appropriate pace as the...
