I had PHP errors for years and was just able to get around those error messages by trial and error.

Sometimes when I post something. After it posts, I get kicked out and have to click back in.

Hi Rusty,,,,this often happens to me as well. Seems it started more often right after all the bs spammer attacks,,,best guess +/- 35% of the time.

[Bill2014]

But the action you were performing still seems to go through despite the error...

[Mule007]

True that

Welcome to the forum. It's not alive as it once was, but we are still here. Got questions, feel free to ask. It may take a day or two for an answer.

974 miles last week.
2 mornings in the classroom talking about climbing safety, processes/procedures, equipment, knots, mechanical advantage systems...


2 afternoons at the outside classroom.


Nice having my pickup - and all my gear that I usually don't bring with me for a tower class. Extra rope, anchor straps, rescucender, crolls, rollclips, pulleys... Didn't use most of it, but there were a few parts/pieces that aren't part of my usual class kit that I did have, because I wasn't limited to 50lbs/gearbag.


because this gearbag's about 80lbs all loaded up.






254k on it... recently got a new water pump and rear brakes&calipers.

Is the rubber chicken a critical safety device?

That's for slapping someone up side the head when they ain't paying attention in class.

Yes
Turns out new climbers aren't very good at figuring out heights. I'll set working and backup lines, then have the students climb on hooks 15-20ft, set their work positioning and go hands-free, then climb back down. Cover the basics to make sure everyone's comfortable before throwing more complex moves and equipment into the scenario.
Some people would climb up a few rungs, tie off, and call it good. Bruh, you're not even 6ft off the ground, technically OSHA doesn't even require fall pro where you're at.
Others climb like 90 feet up and I have to yell at them to stop climbing, park, and come back down.
Now I hang the chicken on the tower at 20ft, "climb to the chicken, position off and squeak the chicken, then climb down."

It's earned a permanent spot in my gearbag.
Every now and then on real tower jobs I do, I'll get a call on the radio from the ground team, "Mule, got a copy?" "Yeah, go ahead" "*SQUAAAAKKKK*"

Just wrapped up a week in SoCal teaching ATV/UTV safety.

Is that Lake Silverwood I see in the background of that picture? If it is, then you must have been on the Cleghorn trail (one of my favorites).

Yup.

Wish I was on a dirt bike/adv, but i'll take getting paid to rip around out there on a utv if I have to.


ONT sucks, btw. Specifically TSA there.

Did they give you a body cavity search?
