Old timer in Newark told me my tagline was too tight and that cost me 15 minutes on a pick last Tuesday

He showed me to leave just a bit of slack so the load can settle natural instead of fighting the crane and now I adjust for wind every single time, anyone else have a mentor who fixed their rigging habits?

kevin_wells46 that bit about before load cells existed really hits home. My uncle taught me to read the cable sag by eye and I still catch myself doing it even with a computer screen telling me everything.

Old timers been setting picks since before load cells existed, they know their stuff.
