    Lost owner's manual source

    Re: Lost owner\'s manual source Make sure to snarf your electronic copy. I've had to go back to some sites for old stuff to find they have gone offline or the provider got a nasty letter for posting copyrighted documents. Besides good insulation in the attic, those original box and manuals...

    unicender

    New England Ropes "Tech Cord" 5mm dia. 6000 lb. Just jacking my jaws. I know it has military applications, but haven't found techniques for use as climbing line. Its great for my tender on my lanyard. I think it would be a little crazy for working prussik. Where are ya, Jeremy?

    unicender

    LOL. Thought the first step had something to do with unmanageability. Works just fine with Tachyon and KMIII. If anyone's working with climbing on Tech Cord, I want to know. Is 5mm what you're talking about, "small diameter"? Rocks are hard. Water is wet. Fire is hot. Gravity sucks.

    new climber w/ questions

    Tony, welcome! Climbing will make you a better climber. Gear can make some stuff easier. Jimmy's right-- I took inventory of my collection of my daily kit and then the spares and other stuff laying around. A good amount of the stuff is not in use for what I originally bought it for, but very...

    Bracing question

    Anyone think to remove the welded extension upon completion of the job? For discussion sake, how about drilling an oversize the depth the extension needs to penetrate? Yet another bit required, albeit a two-footer and then finish with the 5' plus extension.

    Silky? Worth the doe

    Re: Gear? Silky? worth the fillies? I've had experience with Silky Yamabiko. I'm not sure how this one got out into the market. Nice innovation on the top side of the saw, but the teeth are too aggressive for smooth sawing. Its definitely a saw out of place in my kit. Hope to see that run of...

    Congratulations Chris. Passing your CA exam is not a destination, but a milepost. Keep growing, learning, and teaching. Hats off to Tim and Dr. Shigo, and and and The Buzz Family too.

    Myth

    Whilst observing my deft footwork get suddenly jerked into the breeze in the high limbs, the groundie realizes his foot is on my tail (kinda why its called a tail?). Suddenly, a teachable moment arises... ...do I take the time to put 13 twists for a noose or would a scaffolding knot suffice...

    Home office

    Playing the customer role last week. Had the opportunity to call for bids from some local arbos. All calls were answered live, since I dialed the main office numbers. In fifteen minutes I had appointments for bids from all three-- including when I had to call back to refine the scheduling. Two...

    Finally

    Tony, You're right. I happen to be able to wear a suit pretty much off-the-rack, but I've tweaked my work positioning harness. And willing to for maximum comfort and performance. We are all built a little different.

    Silky? Worth the doe

    Re: Gear Rayman, Welcome to The Buzz. You might be able to meet with some other Buzzers in your area or Geezers 2009 and test fly some harnesses.

    Building a truck for special use

    Had a jackpot sort of day. Either that or kismet. On a course between SMU and our chip recycler (da dump), I found just a company that sets up these trucks. Come to find out, we use them to set up the other utility trucks anyways. The sales/design guy scoured over the chip truck for certain...

    Home office

    Wow, it happens at home, too? You're right. My cats just don't understand when its office time. If I'm having some office time here at the day gig, I get noise about not 'working', too. Office time is valuable! Just because I'm sitting down doesn't mean its fair game for a panel discussion...

    Building a truck for special use

    I'm in the process of gathering info to set up a special-use truck. I'm requesting info for experiences, picts, designs in use, and vendors, etc. Maybe even a line on something that's available. We're looking into converting a 1 ton 20' Mitsubishi Fuso box truck that was originally intended to...

    Weekend accomplishments-Dec.8

    Saturday: Finished installing an old 'jelly-bean' iMac whose CRT had gone out into a PC chassis and external LCD. Tedious but gives it more life. Still have to keep my hand in the elec. engr. world. Took a woman I've been dating on her first rec. tree climb. Very good student, RADs on single...
