Only for speed lines, not lowering lines.

I only wish I could write a better post!! Oh, what a failure I am!!!!!

As long as you enjoy winning it more than you now enjoy the thought of winning it. Often its the other way round and that causes problems. Be happy with what you have and not with what you might have. And when you win the lottery be happy with what you have and not with what you might have if you won a bigger lottery etc. etc.

So change the perspective on what you HAVE done and let go of the possible perspective of what has not yet happened. That can be done, without losing ambition, ambition is still important. But knowing when you have succeeded is very important too.

I've not read any of htis thread except Deans first post........ We all think like that. A psychologist would help you to reaslise that you have already achieved something big in your life. Job done!!
-
Thanks mate. I'm not a grumpy critique am I? Just a realist with no idea when to shut up! I guess thats the same thing. Normal service will resume!
-
Congratulations, your not really 40 are you?! Oh, and thanks by the way, your too kind!!
-
Yes today! I'm an old git, over the hill, past it and eligable for the veterans climbing comp at the AA show yee haa!!
-
Thanks guys, just a few out tonight, sensible cos I'm old and have to work tomorrow!!

I think once they have accepted the estimate on the quality paper then its too late for them to worry about tatoos, although the company could lose further work.
-
I think its fine if you just want to work for someone else all your life. If you ever want to run your own business and be the "Director of first Impressions" then it may not work for you. Now if you lose work cos of tatoos then the clients are snobs or whatever you want to call them but they choose who works for them simple as that, and if they choose clean cut and presentable over cleancut presentable and tatooed then thats up to them. Infortunately its the snobby types that have all the trees and the money.
-
Yes, that sounds right! After I used the O'rig to perfection too, then it all went wrong!
-
I assumed everybody had hangovers!!? Thats what it said on the score sheet, but I can't remeber it either!? Was that the one where the venue changed last minute and where honey's tent blew away in the night?
-
You got a 14th in Ireland 2007 Pete!!! And that was well within the top 50% I only had a quick look at some scores, have you got a higher place than that?
-
Sorry "WE" were kings of the lower half, with Peter as well of course!
-
I remember when I was king of the lower half mate, happy days!!
-
I'm not sure how to take that! I'm retired now anyway! Tony, you beat me last year! You got good points in the footlock which I have never done (well no more than 1-2 points at best) and that made up for your average performance in the other events!!!!
-
Ireland, including N. Ireland.
-
I had same problem and found a way round it. Are you still having problems? I can explain what to do, its long winded but works ok.
-
You wouldn't have Bens number would you? Is he still there even? Pm me if you have.
-
My advice would be steal the winch and hope she don't notice, and leave it at that!
-
If the engine is still in it then ask her why it hasn't moved for so long. There must be a reason. It could be that is petrol!!!!!!! If its diesel then someone would get it going in a day no worries, under those trees it would go that colour in a year ot three, so I doubt its been sat there any longer than that. Great project, but every trip in it would be expensive!
-
Yes, but no more so than the difference between the two sides in the first place, if that makes sense? The shadow side is always going to be worse off. As long as you do the shadow side no more than a year after the first side, it will always be behind but then if it managed ok the first time around it will do so again. Another tips would be to cut back any trees that cause shadow on either side. Dependign on the species, think of what is going to be there the longest?
-
That could be just what your looking for mate! Location is spot on where you described! Great place to work and yes they take training very seriously. Only thing I would say though is that they don't work at industry speeds so don't get too comfortable there and then try and move into "real world" tree work.

I think Rich's idea about ape index has more relevance, though. Sit down on the floor, stretch out your legs straight. Now stretch out your fingertips and see if you have a positive (fingertips further out than toes) or negative (fingertips further in than toes) ape index. Thats just a flexibility test!! Not an ape factor. I can touch my toes easy, but years ago I could wrap my hand round my feet and lie down on my legs and have a little sleep! Nothing to do with length of arms, just good flexibility gained from serious hard work at stretching over many years. I am only slightly longer in the armspan than I am in height so I have a +1 ape factor
