Time flies old dude, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.
Ekka--
You are right-- I have been remiss in posting. had some heart surgery Dec'07-- this in combination with a hip replacement March'07 has pretty much nudged me away from the climbing end of of the biz for the last several months. Am currently exploring alternate ways to stay connected to the industry while de-emphasising the 'climber' thing which has been the bread and butter for the last 30yrs.
Am contemplating actually obtaining a TCIA certification in order to promote myself to my client base as a (piad) tree consultant and (or) trying to hook-up with a large established tree company in a sales/safety/supervisory position. Other than that I pretty much spend time making Sidekicks for Bailey's and Wesspur as well asa working on an idea of mine to repel deer from cultured landscapes and residential gardens.
Gotta go now-- will try not to be a stranger. Thanks for thinking of me and keep those kangaroos down under in line.
Tim
