part of jordans greatness allowed him to get away with the pushoff on bryon russel! Just like james will be expecting some calls for his third title!

Pokie looks like we have another thing to disagree on;) If Hibbert wasn't a Pacer I'd be pulling for them a lot more. I've always respected Wade though, Bosch is a complete idiot, Lebron well whatever you want to think. I grew up watching Jordan and hated him cause of the bias my Dad had towards him about being the best ever. I don't want to go down not liking Lebron just cause he's so good!

He gets hacked on pretty much every drive and gets one every once in a while.....Jordan's title greatness is the same as James'...the role players they finally got.

Climbed a 120' Fir tree today and took it down. House on 1 side, power lines on the other sides. Had to let alot of branches down on a rope but got it down without breaking anything! Still got about 30' to come down but that will happen another day. Heck of a tree to start climbing on. lol

If I had nv goat tag the last thing I would be doing is climbing a 120ft tree! Plenty time to test fate after u put a 170 gr CORE-LOKT through a ribcage!

Holy smokes you must be part squirrel, too. My dad dropped a tree on the cab of our pickup when I was ten or something like that. Good job not breaking anything. That sounds like quite and undertaking. Our tree bushes don't get nearly that big.

I had good quality climbing gear that I bought just to get this tree down so it would be safe. I will admit it was a little scary near the top. The tree gets small and shaky but still to big to cut top off. I felt alot better once I got the top cut and hanging on a rope. Tree shakes pretty good when you knock the top off too. Too big of a tree too close tot he house and it had to come down before I put a new roof on it so wouldnt damage new roof taking it down. I spent about $400 for the gear and would have been $800-1000 to hire someone to do it.

Some things have just got to be done! Honestly the hardest thing for me was to trust the line around the tree with my life. It was good quality, made for pro climbers, all that, but still not easy to trust it when its the only thing holding you 100' off the ground. Got the top off and my girlfriend asked how I felt and first thing that came to mind was "I want a beer"! Worse yet i could see the bar from the top of the tree. LOL

Its not easy, especially with things all around you cant drop branches on. Will admit a few hit the house, but thats why I wanted to do it before it got the new roof and windows. Physically its tough too. Would help to have better boots for it but didnt figure i would do enough to justify the cost. Wasnt to bad till tree started getting bigger. I wanted to take another 8' off it but I was about done and it was time to come down and finish another day.

We have a big fire going on the Kenai Peninsula right and the fire-fighters found and rescued 5 wolf pups from their den (they ARE cute). The State want's to keep them all together as a pack.

Where do ya all think they should go? Montana, Idaho and Wyoming seem to have enough already. I vote for Washington D.C. but I'm afraid it might be too traumatic for the wolves.
