From the last paragraph "Kirk’s assassination represents a horrific escalation of political violence that has no place in democratic society. But"
Always a but isn't there. Saying Charlie wasn't a true debater is like saying a boxer is a fighter because he is not an MMA
A man was murdered for speaking his beliefs. Instead of condemning that, you chose to rant with self righteous indignation about the actions of people who were not Charlie.
You really have no footing to argue about the of morals of others
Nice write up and pictures! There could be some confusion on which DMM grommet configuration to use. The Wallis is their split bushing while the solid stiff grommet that I used and you did also, is just called a grommet.
I have the hard DMM grommet in my original RE Akimbo. It works perfectly in retaining carabiner position. The opening on the Akimbo 2 is larger so the bushing fits too loose. I know I can find something that would fit perfectly but in the meantime I just glued in a DMM bushing with Shoe Goo. It...
How's your health? The mind and body can't be separated, if one gets off kilter the other will follow. This is something I see far too often these days.
I've been doing tree work for over 56 years. The vast majority of that time as the owner and sole climber of the company. During this time...
No, I so rarely use MRS it totally slipped my mind to try it. I will give it a go next time out. I'll be surprised if it isn't stellar. The new spring location in combination with the fixed upper friction design works extremely well.
LOL! Sorry my friend, but there is even more bad news. For those using thinner climbing lines like the Scion, adding the CT Cric into the mix is total game changer for a haul-back system.
Take it off your harness, clip on the rope, then capture the tailing line in the smooth pulley, all...
There have been many posts and comments on the Akimbo 2 popping up on other threads. Just thought it deserves its own.
I have been using the original Akimbo multi-ascenders since they first came out. Great tool with a few quirks that bothered some users, but its outstanding speed on and off...
Why? I can't imagine using any tree climbing ascending/descending device that I trusted so little as to feel the 'need' for a backup. They must work one hundred percent of the time, without question.
Are you guys really that dense as to misinterpret everything I say or is it just the current craze of, if you don't agree with the message, just attack the messenger?
Intent 'usually' is coupled with a goal. In order to achieve that goal there is 'usually' an accompanying plan that lays...
If it was all Trumps fault and no body else's, it would have been a very small riot.
I know, that's a complex thought, deal with it.
Sorry, but if you believe you are level headed and thinking clearly, you do not understand how Trump dominates your every thought.
You either have a problem with reading compression or purposely jump to negative conclusions. Me saying that Trump was not the sole cause of the riot is in no way saying he had nothing to do with it. Am I wrong?
Word salad, really? Your post clearly exemplifies how your dogmatic views hampers your ability to comprehend simple statements.
I never said I dismissed Trump responsibilities and involvement. Nor did I say that the mob lacked intent or disagree with what that intent was.
What I said was it...
