A medium hex nut and a rod and reel.

I used a crossbow pistol to put some nylon line through a twenty foot deck.

My grandson came for a visit on Thanksgiving.

He's a star baseball pitcher with a fast ball that's almost 100 miles per hour. Not to mention that his pitches are deadly accurate. So I handed him the ball with a rope I invented and asked that he aim for a particular limb. No problem, no trouble. Right on the money.
