Made you look! 😉
[sarcasm]Okay that was mean, I'm sorry.[/sarcasm]
Right a hair. GOOD! GOOD!
I was tasked one day by my crusty old party chief to climb an ash tree and see if we could see a range pole he had stacked 1/4 mile away. He had made a "stirrup" with his hands to give me a heft up.
I made it up past the first limb crotch but lost my grip on the smooth ash bark. I started slipping. To keep from falling over backwards I had to jump...right where he was standing. He was hollering "CHAIN!" as I fell on top of him.
We both picked ourselves up and he looked at me sourly and grumbled, "I told you CHAIN!"
Like I could really stop in mid-air on my way down....;-)
Last year I climbed a tree with the prism pole to get a big oak tree over the roof of a shed on a topo we were doing. It saved another setup.
My partner, another Grandfather, was amazed that I did that 🙂 Geez, Dave, I guess you REALLY don't want to do another setup.
CHAIN!
COME AHEAD!
GOOD, TACK IT!
BOX IT!
BEER LEG!
DOWN A TENTH, DOWN 3 HUNERTS, GRADE MARK IT!
COMIN AROUND! (when moving around someone cutting line)

And remember
I'm the head chain man around here so just shut up.

Ah, but what kind of hair? I won't say it - not nice.
The renowned RCH, of course.

That made me remember that darned piercing voice of my old rustic crabby boss and sometimes Head Chainman from 1973, he never was in a good mood and let everyone know it from 7am till 5pm every day.
He did teach me a lot about work that I've never forgot.
"Whether it be hard work or easy work, you gotta do it no matter the weather or where it puts you to end a survey". Frank Speary may he RIP
