    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.

    What happened to the Matt Cornell Rope Saddle?

    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...

    What happened to the Matt Cornell Rope Saddle?

    @ 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...

    What happened to the Matt Cornell Rope Saddle?

    That saddle became a victim of social justice meted out by the virtuous. Embrace this new reality of bubble baths and long walks on a sunny beach.

    Creosote dangers in sub-zero agony

    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...

    How could anyone think this is a good idea?

    The dull chainsaw was an appropriate prelude to the crane misadventure.

    This is the Akimbo

    "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.

    Anyone try and keep their trucks out of the salt?

    "Rust never sleeps" Should make for an interesting auction sale of rusty antiquities when I expire. Only 24 more years till retirement (Freedom 80).

    TreeStuff and SherrillTree Join Forces

    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...

    Herr Colb: there is an "ignore" button. Depressing it will result in an individual ceasing to be a burden to you. Just sayin'

    New Cat Rescue bag

    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.

    tree stuff, its been real....

    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...

    tree stuff, its been real....

    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"

    tree stuff, its been real....

    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...
