    End of year purchase

    I decided to pick up a 3/4" Stable Braid bull rope. I rarely use more than half-inch, but hung a root-pulled tree on Tuesday off another tree and it reminded me that storm work is never a time to be questioning if something is strong enough. A couple Protos. Odds and ends. No big...

    ISA Webpage

    There was some wacky pnwisa stuff happening locally from what I heard. I don't what it was, nor if it settled. When I couldn't get my last ceu at the last minute on a tablet, instead of computer, my CA lapsed a long while ago. I didn't have time to sort it out at that time. Some there...
