So um, does that happen a lot to you?

Hasn't happened yet, but it's happened to every person I've ever talked to. You get complacent, forget to tie it off to the gutter, or there is a gutter guard or something, and along comes a gust of wind and your ladder is on the ground.

Oh, I'm on a roof pretty much every day now. Up to three a day pretty soon I'm afraid.

Got pics of the bow?

Put span hooks on ladder.

What do you hook to if there is no gutter?

I don't have any pictures of the bow, because it looks like a 5' piece of 3/4" pvc with a string on it. Pretty unassuming.

Have you done any practice with the bow yet? I'm curious how much energy this thing can impart on a target at 25yds.

A little, but I don't have any more decent arrows. Plus, I'm just resting the arrow on my hand. I can make an arrow rest and stuff, but haven't done so yet. It will be back burnered for now. I'll post up if I ever do anything else with it.

Edge of the roof.

Irving, I think you are going ninja with the grappling hook and bow. I'd love to see you tip an arrow with the grapple and use it to scale the water tower.

Yeah...I could dig that too.

I got all my breakfasts and lunches made for the week. While cleaning everything up, I came to the realization that my sink is not only clean, but "have your baby in my sink" clean. So, if Mitch Hedberg were still alive.......he could make a really funny joke about my sink being so clean, that a woman could have a baby in it.

....and Howdy, fellers.
