Ha! Well to honor that guy, I need to post an update. This morning I realized I had no throwball to set a line- so I improvised:
Attempt one was my wife's garden trowel:

Pros: good weight/ balance/ throws well
Cons:got stuck in tree. Wife unaware she is now minus one garden tool
So I got lazy and grabbed the next available thing in the garage- a clamp:
Pro's: It was sitting right there, about the right size, throws well
Cons: gets stuck in branches even worse than garden spade
Here's a picture of my morning progress (Tree 2:Ron-0):
Then the craftsman wrench "eureka" moment:
Check out the angle on the tree as the wrench dangles straight down!
String up:
Now I need to go buy some new rope- all my old stuff was getting rotten.
