Hey-

i have asked some others, now turn to y'all; searching for what would be accepted accronyms for climbing we have accumulated:

Climber's Specialty:

DDRT = Doubled Rope Technique
DRT = Doubled Rope Technique
DNA - National Dyslexic Association
DWT = Double Whip Tackle
DZ- drop zone
FC/TIP - false crotch tie in point ----I object to the false crotch, it infers cutting into the trunk -JP

LZ- lowering zone
LL -Load Line
MA-Mechanical Advantage
MTip - mechanical tie in point
OA = Overhead (Support) Anchor
SRT = Single Rope Technique
TIP - Tie in point
Z - is the ANSI Z-133 safety standards


Any additions or objections would be appreciated and spread around!


and perhaps some general internet ones:

BTW = By the Way
IMHO = IN My Humble Opinion
or maybe one i caught on here (ala' Newfie TC165) and might start to ab-use:
IMAO
LMAO = Laughin my butt off (ok that isn't much for me!)
ROF = Rolling On Floor (LMAO....)
CRS = i forgot
FUBAR=Really messed up beyond all reasonable recognition/ repair!

L8R G8R= Later Gator (Florida!)
FYI = For Your Info
G = Grins

Ha ha...very true Sean, an excellent example of how progress isn't always good.

Compaction of the roots was an issue - In fact so much so that we even attemted to mount this mini chipper on this cows back with the idea that it could gallop from tree to tree causing less root disturbance.

You ever tried attaching a 1 ton chipper to a live cow! not easy...we gave up after the 3rd attempt, couldn't get near the chipper. COC - Cow Owns Chipper.

[sean_freeman]

I think you'd find the saving from plywood would be lost over time...only one use, have to replace each job.

I'm sure that you do not mean this. The Marines of the American army provide help to many people throughout the world. People who provide help should not be called grunts.

I recieve letters from mothers whose sons and daughters are in Iraq telling me that their children are indeed helping out the Iraqi people where they can.

You are just being childish and you need to learn how to think before you speak. Jesus can help you with this if you let him.

Thank You
