In the past few years, we have experienced a lot of changes in the weather and from what we now understand a lot of it has to do with how we handle the environment. They have linked our treatment of the environment to the climate problems we are experiencing now and therefore we have nothing to blame but ourselves.

Or, maybe rocky has been smoking too much crack.
As long as there have been people we have been "dealing with nature." Nature has it in for us, and the more we do stupid sh#t like build neighborhoods in floodplains and earthquake zones, the more we will be dealt what nature has too offer - global warming or no.
There were floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and tornados in 1970 when the sky was falling about the global cooling crisis. There were floods in the 1800s when the mini ice aged was on. Come on, dude.

Not only that, but Rocky was inserting his flood damage comments into my climbers kids and sports threads.....WTF?

I'm really not that hard to deal with. Coffee in the morning - I like mine black. No dairy in my food. And above all, please don't shout at me (it hurts my feelings). Otherwise I'm pretty chill. Oh... and I like greenies.

Flood Damage Cleanup And Environmental Conservation
No matter how one looks at it, flood damage cleanup is the terminal activity for individuals who may have run into some problems with their water systems, basement and or crawlspace systems, or the surrounding environment of their domicile.

In general, and ignoring the very lift-specific detail parameters, revolving "average" haulage ropes on "average" ski lifts serve some 20 years on fixed grip lifts, that a running at 400 fpm.
Rope life is based more on rope cycles, bending cycles around the bull wheels and cycles over the sheave assemblies rather than number of years on the rope.
With a range of 90,000---120,000 expectable rope cycles, the speed, the length of the lift, and the number of service hours are decisive for a rope life expectancy:
Example: "average" lift length 4000 ft.
rope length 8000 ft.
"average" lift speed 400 fpm 1000 fpm
rope cycles per hour 3 7.5
rope cycles per ski season (1200 hrs) 3600 9000
min. expectable rope life 25 seasons 10 seasons
max. expectable rope life 33 seasons 13.3 seasons
This does not consider outside influencing factors such as routine maintenance (how often the rope was lubed), quality of the rope, quality and condition of the splice, if the rope was initially installed correctly, as well as the drive and line machinery quality (proper alignment), all of which contribute to the life expectancy of the rope.
Calculating Cycles Per Hour
Rope Length = 8000 ft.
Lift Speed = 1000 fpm
1000 fpm/ = 1 ft./min./ = 1 cycle / X 60 min. / = 7.5 cycles/
8000 ft. 8ft. 8 min. 1 hour hour
divide by
1000 to
simplify
Rope Length 8000 ft.
Lift Speed 400 fpm
400 fpm/ 60 min /
8000 ft. 1 hour
Divide rope speed by lift length then multiply by 60 = cycles per hour.
edit: and that is the
"nature" of wire rope
wear cycles.

Keep The Land And Water Clean When You Are Doing Recreational Activities
Our children today are probably more conscious of the way the earth is polluted than many adults. Even though we were also educated about how bad pollution is, the filth of our planet is catching up with us at an alarming rate. It is up to us to do what we can to eliminate the pollution that is destroying our planet and one way we can do that is by paying attention to the trash we leave behind us.

Solar Power The Wave Of The Future, Are You Ready?
Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells. Solar power is one of the cleanest, versatile and most viable forms of renewable energy available. Solar Power uses solar panels to turn sun light into electricity.

How The Environment Contributes To Water Damage
More often than not the water damage we get in our homes and properties are the direct result of our own negligence.
