Knots.

Day 8 - [03.30.10]

This would be my rope, er, ropes. I spent a few hours today working on my knot tying. Yes, you read that right HOURS. Ugh. But, in good news, I think I have six of the seven I need to know down pat. Here you can see four of them (figure eight on a bight, figure eight, bowline and becket bend). I guess we will see tomorrow just how well I know them and how well they stuck with me. :)

We have to know the knots for fire school, it's one of the stations on the practical part of the exam. Considering that I couldn't even tie a square knot three months ago, the fact that I can tie five other ones now is quite an accomplishment, at least I think it is.

Song of the Day:

Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me by Keith Urban

[I hadn't heard this song in a long time, until last night when I was out. And now it's been stuck in my head all day long today. Ah! Drives me nuts when I get a song stuck in my head, even if it's one that I like! At least I like this one. . . :) ]
