So, instead of boring you with the details of my big stupid adventure, i will highlight the highlights
*SUNNY DAY, bought stuff from REI, made friction saver total 30$, very excited
*went to park to test it out on big tree
*dry run close to ground goes well, sizzle tries to set rope higher, too high
*sizzle keeps trying for over an hour
*sizzle keeps trying for over two hours
*sizzle gets angry at 2.5 hours, considers going home to order big shot, but gets throw weight stuck in tree, now must climb.
*sizzle finally sets line with second weight... but realizes in the process that big tree doesnt have leaves cuz is DEAD tree, not winter, again considers leaving.
*sizzle's stupid side (99%) wins the mental battle and he decides to climb tree, test new friction saver, retrieve weight and call it a day.
*10ft up, imperialist city park man puts kybosh on operation, tells sizzle to scram
*sizzle agrees, and decends ten feet to ground, pulls rope without proper stopper on it, pulls it THROUGH THE ROPE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!
*very worried, Mr. Chest cries to himself while waiting for mean park man to leave.
*tries to set rope again for another hour, realizes that its getting dark, starting to rain, out of water and very hungry
*collects gear, goes to sporting goods store, looks at bow and arrow, realizes stupid, buys some peanuts, leaves.
*In parking lot, Sizzle finally breaks down feeling stupid, calls boss to ask to use his big shot. Boss busy, Sizzle left to own devices.
*Return to park, try to set rope again, counts number of tries
*Throw 29, sizzle sets line!!!
*Climbs tree, pauses to take pictures and reflect about his poor decisions.
* reaches the level of the rope saver, but its too far to reach. luckily, brought tire iron and uses to retrieve saver
*decends to ground in rain, snaps triumphant victory photo of self, leaves. Pictures follow.
