Chipped rope, hornets, twisted knee.

Oops! Hope your back in action soon TAYLOR.

As an aside, sometimes I get a bit tired of screen names, as they seem impersonal, or something, so I was trying to, more personally, inquire about your condition. In the end, it was maybe less personal. I know that each screen name is individual, and some chosen well, some chosen for their wit, others from overblown egos (infrequently), and others for other reasons, such as company affiliation.
 
For whatever else may have happened to him, Donald Rumsfeld was never attacked by bees. At least not in public.

I thought about that curious fact, and attribute it to his cruel and savage doctrine of Shock and Awe. People thought he was an intense, possibly lunatic, war monger; but they didn't understand his nuance, and besides, they're mostly just hippies and dirty peaceniks, and people who get stung by hornets in the face.

The main strategy is Pre-emptive Strikes. If I think I see a hornet or a wasp, or even a bouncing bumble-bee, I attack it with a huge can of Raid. (Sometimes I use the product "Kill Zone" just for the heavy connotation.) Don't wait for the bugs to gather against you . . .

I am afraid of flying insects. I believe it gives them an unfair advantage.
 
This situation is a good reminder of the perk of carrying your rope in a ropebag with you. It can prevent/ reduce the likelihood of your rope being chipped.

If it is an access rope, it can be bagged, and the bag hung just off the ground, by the ground crew, allowing emergency accessibility. This helps to keep it from getting tangled in brush.
