I got drunk and stuffed a hot Amazon chick into a bag

[treemandan]

There is the bag, I was little tipsy but they said she had been up there all night and was calling for the kids... so I went

This was what Rod Stewart was singing about... HOTLEGS!

 

[treemandan]

She bit the living crap out of me and I loved it

I think she did too

All in all it was a cheap date and I was home in an hour showing everybody the beak marks. She got me 3 times and the last time she just held on to the meat between the forefinger and thumb till I was able to get her in the bag. For a second I thought I had a problem.
She was very happy to be back with the kids.

That's pretty cool right there. Dan, you look like Forrest Gump trying to climb a tree in those shots, ya no, before those kids chased him down with the truck and his leg braces fell off, kid ran like the wind then.

 

[Nailsbeats]

Oh don't worry, he left the keys above the visor.

Safety infraction! Where is your X-Games Helmet?!!!!!!! At least you had your beer goggles on.

If you liked that I will get you some pics of The Dan standing on some very thin limbs doing the watootzy.
That bird I could not even see from the ground with binocs. I guess she blended real well with the sycies. I asked the guy if he was joking me, he said he wasn't. I asked him how much this bird meant to him he said " more than my wife" and his wife was in agreement with this.
About 70 feet out on the edge with her talons around pencil thin tips. I thoght I might have to do some voo-doo batman **** but I just moved slowly out to her and grabbed her.
It was tough not shaking the branches and the pads helped me control my body english which slowed my movement and kept me comfortable and poised. POISE! Like when you jam your shin into a crotch... The Dan saves that kind of stuff for, well, you.
It might look gay but grab a set of street hockey pads and forget about it.The Dan will rope climb the living crap out of a tree. Now go over there shut the tailgate and pull me up.

 

[treemandan]

Yup, GUMP!

 

[Blakesmaster]

Now go over there shut the tailgate and pull me up.

Hood scoop really helps out in that situation, huh?

Did you srt that tied off to the ball on the hitch? Damn!

Not damn, DAN! Clove under the ball with a couple half-hitches seems to be about fine. I would do something different if the knot was going to be really loaded but its just my scrawny butt on the other side.
For heavy stuff that will lock a clove I used b-line on the bight hooked to the pintnle clasp which of course is locked, pinned and then I jam a nickle behind the lock to keep the clasp closed all the way.
The hook on the dingo is very clove friendly. Put it on "hook up" for lifting from below "hook down for pulling from above. Now I did not weld that hook on to the draw bar, its bolted with grade 8 with standard draw bar tubing.

Simplicity at its finest and diversity to boot. But if you would rather drag it, go ahead. That was the last bit of a tree that filled my truck, quickly, with most of the stuff being rather large, futher away, coming down fast, and 90 degrees to the chipper. They had a pile of butts by the hopper they could not put through as the chipper only garbles about 9 1/2 inches if your are lucky and do it right. Twas quite a nice blitz. Originally the HO was going to keep all the wood but he is 90 and his son didn't want it. I left the nice easy stuff for the old man to split on his new splitter. I hope it don't kill him though. I kept giving this one old guy firewood til he burned his house down. He had it piled up next to and on top of the stove but I think what did it was the kerosene.

how's it look out there to you?

 

[treemandan]

No, no, no! ........not for life support!

Good rescue. I did a cat rescue a few weeks ago at about 50ft. Never have rescued a bird.

Be careful out there.

Great thread!

I would wear a little more for a cat as The Dan hates to even break a nail. Get it? No worries, after hooking it up and dressing it down...
It was perfect.

 

[treemandan]

Kneepads? YUP!

Just a quick lift up to put a rope in to drop it. I didn't use my spikes, just the kneepad.
