Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 23, 2023

They were pulley-ing your leg

This is the closest that Todd can come to lifting himself up by his boot straps.

Hoisted by his own petard.

I saw that issue, it was about storing bicycles on your garage ceiling.

apparently they don’t teach physics in those

Well, it kind of works, doesn’t it? Now if he could get that big set of pulleys hung much higher, he could get much more “squirrely” on the branch.

Hey guys! There’s a big side of beef hanging from a tree on Crabsten Ave. What? It is? Never .mind

Todd is learning, gradually.

This would work better and Todd might get more fun out of it if he “hooked up” his ropes and pulleys in a way that could give him the mechanical advantage that a block and tackle offers.

Todd might want to try a YouTube video next time.

Todd needs to go to the Rigging Warehouse for guidance. Really is such a company at:www.riggingwarehouse.com

Another amazing resource on the internet.

Scooter is hiding behind the tree waiting for his chance to play tug with the rope.

Todd is short of a pulley in this exercise…

Good morning Balladeers.

But what purpose does it serve?

It was the April issue, and that writer has been fired… ☺

Sadly, the instructions were translated from Chinese.. and there were some errors.

Uuuh ooooh! Parts n pieces are left…

Done right…it gives him a high!

This must be difficult for Todd, realizing his sanity is hanging in the balance.

Dag-nab-it Todd, you almost got it. I think you crossed the thing-a-ma-jig with the what-cha-ma-call-it.

The greatest magazine for blockheads.
