True Story
So, I wanted to hang a birdfeeder the bear cannot get to
I took some rope, tied a rock on the end of it, to throw over a high branch
I kept missing, realizing I lack the athletic ability I had when I was young
After many times trying, I threw it again and the rock flew off!
So, I tied the rock tighter and threw it high again
This time, the entire rope flew over the target branch, onto the ground!
So I tied the other end to another tree and I threw it yet, again
- ALAS - IT WORKED! –
I lowered the rock, tied the birdfeeder on and pulled it up like a pulley
Now, I have one out back and out front; the birds will be happy!
