So many times, I've found things that remind me there are truly skilled people out there.

This is one such!

When I was about seven years old my dad, who had done a lot real live cowboying, and some lumber jacking in his day,  turned a card table upside down in our family room and taught me how do a lot of that with an old-fashioned hemp lariat.

 

He started me out with a plain old half hitch and went on to several others.  I used some of them until I got out of the Army in 1969 and then never did again.

 

I just went out to my work shop to see if I could still do any.  I'm still pretty good with a half hitch.  The rest just don't recognize me any more.  They ignored me completely.

 

Good thing I need that skill like I need the mumps.
