I had to let go of about a half dozen sheets

"HEADACHE !!" was the call out for the ground man. (Er uh Person ). DON'T LOOK UP., find cover then find out what it was.
4X8 sheets of Plywood roof sheeting were a challenge in any wind.
"Tied off" ment wearing a harness and lanyard or retractable. I recall one job doing roof sheeting where we wore a lanyard and just let the hook drag behind. It looked legit for the safety inspector on the ground. We called it an air tie off. Of course there came a time when I was the safety man building overhead mortar protection in Iraq. The workers spoke a little English and "Tie Off!" Was so often my shouted message from the ground, that it became my nickname with the crew.

Bump

up to the top....trade possible

Are you aware of the typing they save? Tell you what, _ghost ball_ is comical. I use CPG CBL as a title simply because I have nothing else pool worthy to fly. How about, I Can Play Real Good If I Have A Real Good Reason. lol... or I could be the best
ever if I only had the time and facilities. I don't think either would fit anyway.

Jason Shaw claims CBL. Good enough for me. How's the betting working out for you?

Just for fun I thought i’d comb through the movie and see what McDermotts I could find. Everyone knows about the Joss cues, but most people don’t know that McDermott donated a bunch of cues for the movie as well. All of them are from the D series produced in 1984. Many models came in a variety of stain and wrap colors. If I missed any let me know

First up is Moselle spotted using a green stained D-6 with a green nylon wrap.

Great thread .. brings back a lot of good memories
Back then I had a love hate relationship with McDermott .. i was younger and couldn't afford a really nice cue but I played a lot with a guy who had a McDermott and he beat the brakes off me all the time with that thing hahahaha
