was a prity interesting time, had a guy from our garden care side ( looking for another RBird right now) cause our contract climber wasn't available to help.

so the day started with me throwing in two lines for climbing, and quickly seting up a rig point for over the garage....... coming down and "Teaching" our guy how to run ropes, he's a great gardener...... but could'nt sus the porty out, lucky for us there was a decent sized limb low enuff for me to show him how to take "trunk" wraps..................upon drilling into him " do exactly as i say, well take little pieces and you'll be fine" as you see all went well and worked smothly..........enuff to get muffins for avo smoko!! 4 hours in that tree, also spent 2 hours removing an Avacado there for them tow.

hahahahahaha nails in the middle of the branch dont you just love em.
as for training new people to rig is a real pita at times, i pity you. i have one groundy i use all the time now he is fast efficient and knows how i work, his lowering transitions are smooth and he just makes my life so much easier because i dont have to think for him anymore seven months of throwing things at him has paid off
