thanks for the advice. we are lucky in that we've got a clear open field to drop it into, so it doesn't matter on the mess. good videos on youtube, dealing with various problem trees and techniques.

ah heck, how 'bout that internet? dropping a Tree add wedge to equation....

don't tell me....

after that, may i suggest a lobotomy? self-performed, of course.

i would highly encourage you to self-perform your vasectomy. asap.

but seriously, i have a decent feeling for it, but just wanted feed-back on protocols.

heh, i AM a professional! [cross-eyes] and yeah i'm privvy to the dangers; that's why i'm posting questions on cc.com.

So there's a 120' poplar that's over 3 feet in diameter needing to come down. lotso space to drop it, but it HAS to fall in one direction. Unfortunately, it leans in the wrong direction. Maybe 2 or 3 degrees. So SOP: climb tree, place line 50 feet up, tension slightly with come-along, notch as normal, ratchet up tension, then do back cut? makes sense to me, but then again, i'd like other opinions. it's a big tree!

Nope. Seems a bit of hypocrisy in operation, though. how is his money situation "hypocrisy"?

ok but not with the lockerbie bombing. gotcha.

i take it you are familiar with the case.

you guys ever read the original evidence against him? just wonderin....

The major unstated premise here seems to be that, even under conditions of open competition, profits can only be realized by cheating consumers. i think you read way too much into the question. i meant it quite literally, with no hidden motives.

would your post above indicate support for the system as it currently stands, or simply a support for critical understanding of all viewpoints/analyses?

funny indeed.

funny you'd think.

as a principle, does for-profit health care cause you concern? and, do the profits enjoyed by said companies cause you concern?

thousand maybe millions... i think pink just wants to post that foto of himself with the flowing locks and single chin.

hey i've noticed you're a really articulate and insightful fellow, with concise and perspicuous analyses of any topic, so maybe you can explain exactly what you mean with your biblical homily? something about the charge i levy being a charge i am guilty of myself, methinks? help a brother out. your burnin up... hmmm i fail to see the similarity. but thanks.

no shit, 85 and doing a workout. you should check out my next vid on why i hate video.

i think you need to talk to kevbone for verification on that one....

bs. i couldn't care less about the sexploits those two potter and what's her name engage in. don't lump me into that roiling mass. "recently, all i've wanted to do is free solo. be by myself, that's it." as cameras record every move. ugh, same crap as potter spewed while being filmed.
