Christmas trees are here! 🎄

 ah, yes. this notice came along two days ago

forewarned is forearmed

yesterday, was exercise and then a drive up to McD s for a confab w / A ....
thus. 30 minutes became 2 h. we hashed and re - hashed the history , solved and re -solved the overall trolley / railway and winch set up at the Q ' boathouse .

In the end. the focus became research a new winch, railway and trolley. TBD

then. a proof of concept idea. make a running pulley that sits on the ground. As at now, the winch line starts at slightly below hip height runs along the apron of the ground and bends down to attach to the trolley.
the pulley will change the angle of the winch s pull and stop the drag and hence poor angle of the winch line

I found an example at Princess Auto. A $ 16 item. Then affix the pulley somehow to a board or boards and give it a go
