You can find calendars for future years. Put follow-ups on there. Post on office wall/ in file. Simple, cheap.

The GG does have its ups and downs. I think that it doesn't work as well with a 1/2" as it would with a bit smaller line. For SRT, you can utilize it in ways that you can't utilize a hitch. Rope weight is an issue. I sometimes will pull up a bight and clip it off to my harness, so that I...

try to figure out what kind of wood it is, and see if there is someone that wants green, split wood to season at their own house for cheaper than seasoned. You might be able to load once, unload once.

Bundle up before going outside and move around/ exercise a little to increase blood flow, stay very well hydrated (dehydrated thickens blood), cover all exposed areas. Hopefully its nothing medical. I've started the day with a synthetic shirt, fleece pullover, and two hoodies, insulated boots...

You played it as best possible. You made every effort to give quality service and product. I've been thinking of writing up a fire building instruction sheet with drawings. I can copy them on our all in one printer. Put business information and contact info on it. The may want to keep the...

more that one way to skin a cat.

Ya know how SRT and Friction hitches usually don't work together, so people are using the F8 Revolver to add friction so that the hitch runs smoothly, so how is it working for you? Are you lighter than the average climber? I use a running bowline and lean into it a lot for work positioning...

I think that semi should help. Seems like sharpening two-three strokes frequently might help. The bar and chain will stay cooler from less running time, which should help the cutters keep their edge better, and it will be easier to file barely dull teeth, than really dull teeth. From what...

What friction hitch are you using with Single Rope Technique? Are you getting extra friction to keep the hitch from locking up by running it along the rope by clipping it inside the pulley, seemingly pinching the rope against the pulley sheave? Does it allow an emergency descent, or just serve...

if you're going to do it, you might put two guy-lines perpendicular to the fall to help stabilize the lateral forces on the hinge. Why not take someone with you for the day. Your wife can sit in the truck with the heater running. Put them both down early in the morning. Are there other...

Yes, there are things that can be done. My neighbor's trees are over 100 years old on the family farm and they still produce. Proper pruning is based on the type of fruit tree. Do some research on them for your area, or find someone that is a skilled fruit tree pruner in your area. Pay them...

While hand filing a chain I found a broken tie strap on one side of a double strap. It was cutting small diameter tamarisk alright. I happened to notice it. It was a crew member's chain, so who knows what abuse it had taken. I was glad to have seen it when I did.

The first half, honey, is easy to change over to with morning coffee, and maybe a cup of non-caffeinated tea before bed. Firewood is hard on the body. I've found its better to stack two pieces, one on the other, and pick up with both hands from the side, than pick up one piece in each hand...

I worked on salt cedar in a lot of southern Nevada. Interesting that they are burning it, as it comes back quickly. Cheat grass is a constant problem in that area, and a fire vector. We'd have new looking teeth on chains that stretched so far that they'd be dangling off the bar when the...

I didn't have problems with dulling of the chain with salt cedar. Are those Athyl Tamarisk tamarix aphylla? Chain stretch was our big problems. Are you doing anything to prevent stump sprouting, chemically? You can frill the tree with a hatchet, hacking through the cambium over several...

I had a couple of large hollies at a job. The Oly woodturners took every last piece that I left. I didn't feel like hauling it. Wanted to make some wood turner connections. Images: http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&sa=1&q=holly+bowl&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0 Turners are after monkey...

The maritime climate of the pacific northwest is very similar to england. Mario is in a similar climate as I am. We have problems with invasive english holly, english ivy, blackberries, scotchbroom, reed canary grass, etc. in WA state. I've seen a 60' holly here. You'll have different...

English holly is quite dense. Invasive as well. I try to get people to replace with something else. good firewood. much better for turning. If you have a local wood turning group, they'll likely be happy as clams to have some.

Shudder to think of a castration band
