Wind...probably a topic in need of it's own thread...

I could definitely fill a whole thread with my windstorm rantings. It's been 7 years since I left utility tree work, and it's taken me most of that time to be able to sleep through a wind event.

Morning eh? Hmmmmm...

It’s that time when a lot of crazy people like to start their day. I don’t get it myself.

Perfectly sensible. I just seem to be at my most creative in the evening...

Perhaps the beach? It is right at sea level, after all.

ok I like to sit on cliffs and watch the water. my answer still stands.

end up.

Go down a hill, up a hill, down a hill, up a hill, or up a hill, down a hill, up a hill, down a hill?

You're a twisted man sir...
Just get electric bike and be done with it!

 

[David Mary]

Then my age would catch up to me faster...

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

May you pedal forever my friend. I'm looking forward to getting my bike out this year.

What kind of psycho would knowingly and by choice go down, up, down, up??

Up down up down is always the answer.

 

[David Mary]

And yet down up down up is how I get home. Hmmm no wonder I stay so late at the shop sometimes.

no.
up down up down left right left right B A B A is the answer.

 

[David Mary]

Where did all this extra ammo come from?

Yes.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

no.
up down up down left right left right B A B A is the answer.

Easy button after all that IS what we are talking about.

 

[Bob Denman]

It doesn't matter. I'd end up tripping over my two left feet; and end at the bottom of whatever hill I was on.

 

[bigsurbob]

Ha... funny you ask!!

I love how you put when we talked: "forced exercise". I think incorporating such things into one's life is brilliant.

Well thank you David! But I certainly wouldn't have turned down a paved, covered carport 15 feet from the front door!

I watched a great video about pulleys. I'm not sure I ever truly understood why that well known simple machine actually gave you mechanical advantage. And to be honest, I may have to watch it again and pay closer attention to exactly how he uses his favorite type of pulley, the snatch block.

In the interest of minimizing this forced exercise, I'm trying to come up with some system to get some of the heavier or abundant loads up to the house.

 

[David Mary]

I watched it on 2.25 speed and couldn't help but feel dizzy with excitement.

We make use of double sheeve pulleys on occasion. Very helpful for lifting heavy overhang and removing slack from rigging lines around structures.

bigsurbob , have you considered a pack animal? Llamas are supposed to be good.

I have to figure something out. A Costco and grocery run, granted big, took 1 hour 45 minutes to haul up, no exaggeration.
