    Ditchwitch SK600

    This morning a hydraulic line failed. Disapointed that these unprotected hoses run along the floor of the machine. Where they rub and wear. Will be removing all of them and installing spiral (or other) anti chafe protection on the rest of them this summer. If you own a 650, you might want...

    When is it time to pack it in and work at Wal-Mart?

    Incrementally losing that loving feeling. (towards trees and humans) Age, mileage/wear and tear on the ole bod. Vehicles and equipment conspiring to mutiny. Paperwork. Weather. Bills. Feeling like the bear is gonna get me not vice versa. It's slowly killing me. Definitely not making me...

    Ice winching

    High winds last week blew large ice pan against the steel pilings underpinning this dock......bent them enough that the tenons on the posts were getting leveraged out of their pockets in the timbers supporting the roof. Bad. Used two gas capstan winches and a honking big 12V winch. Lotsa MA...

    Happy Hooker

    (Disclaimer: (trigger warning?) This thread title a crass and blatant attempt to catch the attention of JeffGu). I am not as agile or sprightly as some of you gerbils. And I rarely have need or want of a pole saw doing removals on spurs. I do however really like having a lightweight pole with...

    Gas money for Deevo's Mini Cooper PA adventure.

    For sale....used Anthron DSD-30 descender. Sold I don't know how long it has been sitting around, but I also never tried it, either. Stamped on side plate it says ropes 11mm. You might want to investigate this further (Google?) before it sits in YOUR basement for the next 20 years. Just...

    Inspired by the fine folks at Rock Exotica, and a ghastly Canadian/American $$$ exchange rate.

    Glove

    Yesterday a coworker got slapped on the back of his left hand by a 4' - 4" dia. chunk of wood that clipped him (and not from any height) as he was reaching for another piece of brush to drag. Back of hand immediately swelled up like a goose egg. Impressive. I related this incident to a hydro...

    Sore Paw

    Little oops from yesterday afternoon. (a preventable lapse in concentration using the one-handed MS200T technique) But the doc was amazing. She was/is a true suture craftsman - lotsa attention to detail.

    Cable Daydreaming

    I have invented (but only in my mind, sadly) a better mousetrap for static cable systems.....mebbe. You gotta use your imagination here a bit, cause drawing sketches electronically or otherwise is a bit of an insurmountable hurdle. This is what I'm thinking: A cam lock (think vice grips) with...
