While Bob once again failed his entrance exam for the Ballard St. Pulley Club, he is now only one visit away from a free one down at the Ballard St. Emergency Room and Fertilizer Shop.
In desperation, I rigged a pulley system to a stout tree to pull out the bent fender on my 15-year-old Celica, so I could take it on the “last round-up” to the junkyard.

Ouch. I did a mean pulley system for hoisting a large feeder into a maple.

The concept is sound. Just the wrong type of tree.

That tree has the wrong type of knots.

But who among us wouldn’t give Bob a 9.3 for a near perfect faceplant?

This is not going to get you in good with the neighborhood pully club and consortium Bob.

The pully club endorses block & tackle set-ups. They frown upon Bob’s blockhead tackle.

Those instructions, translated from Chinese sometimes miss a few key points.

I, for one didn’t have the heart to tell Bob about pulleys in trees. He had his heart set on it. Now he’s having his leg set.
