Hey Erwin,
Welcome, fellow Arboristsitist.
Please feel free to contribute to the theological discussion on the rope saddle thread.
I'm Dave. Be wary of JD3000 and that Gu guy.
With respect to the rationale offered by Mr. Bonner to discontinue sales of Matt"s saddle, would it be reasonable for upper management at Sherrill and TreeStuff to forgo future excursions to breastraunts?
There is apparently a psychological toll that Mr. Bonner may have been unaware of...
Foster & Allen I Will Love You All My Life Lyrics
You're forever telling me I'm weak
When I am criticized I never speak
I prefer to turn the other cheek
But I will love you all my life
I can never do things right by you
I'm the kind of man who muddles through
You can find mistakes in all I do...
@ Colb:
I dunno nuthin about this tagging stuff. Tag was a game I played as a kid about a half century ago.
As to you suggesting that I or any other person here does not support equality and fairness for women, I regard you as ignorant, and perhaps stupid. The former being unfortunate, the...
Have heated our place pretty much 100% (unless we are away a couple of days) in the great frozen North for the last 28 years with a woodstove. Stainless steel insulated chimney.
Clean it usually once, sometimes 2X a year.
When stove is going decent hot 400-600F, I toss in some crumpled up...
"Scope creep" .....as in, if we tweak or improve it to do A, then we can modify it to do B, which will enable a little redesign to perform C, etcetera etcetera.
I, along with a Civil War General named "George B. McClellan" have found this mental exercise to be highly useful for procrastinating.
I'd prefer music over a soothing recorded voice saying "your call is important to us, please stay on the line for the next available representative". Worse is something similar that starts off with "due to unexpected call volumes..." doesn't matter what time or day you call, the message is the...
I had a relative of that cat launch itself out of a tree as I climbed up to retrieve it. Never got close enough to touch it.
I think the gorilla costume I wore must have frightened it.
How could anyone else sell it?
One would (or might) suppose there was some legalese contract documention stuff drawn up between Matt and TreeStuff.
I reckon in addition to naming and marketing the saddle, TreeStuff also set the pricepoint, and has exclusive rights to it.
Please correct me iffn...
A long time ago, an arborist named Yeats (he also wrote a bit of poetry) said:
"but I, being poor have only my dreams...Tread softly, because you tread upon my dreams"
They are...and I really couldn't care less.
But for the fact that it seems this business decision appears to been a convenient piece of virtue -signalling crappola, with Mr. Bonner being a self-righteous social justice warrior. And I think that if a "Notch" or "Bonner" rope saddle isn't...
