Guess I should take a newer picture, with grey hair and beard.

Yeah. Heyyou get those pics today? I looked at a 67 on 60s and 38s today.

Going tomorrow.
With the warmer temps today and in the forecast tomorrow, I thought I would let a little more snow melt away fronm the truck so I could see under it hopefully.

Hey if you want i can meet up with ya and take a look at it. If you dont want it ill make an offer and if you want it i can help ya out with throwin him a price,

Looking at that i have a decision to make.

Is Jason brave or stupid?

Jason is stupidly brave ;)

Hey Joe... are you keeping a list on this? So far it looks like possibly 12 ...?

- Cheeto
- Dave S
- Me + 2
- pmasley & peepette (if the dates work out..?)
- EMD_Driver
- KanyonKitty
- Archion (tentatively from post #41)
- grandpa'sprideandjoy
- Joe...?

Haha... that is definitely debatable. Could go either way depending on the day of the week sometimes :-X24

At first climbing around like that was pretty dicey but I got used to it pretty quick. I'm about 300 feet up in that picture.


Thats probably the closest thing to the truth! :-drink

here we go again!!! LOL

{{{{{hugs}}}}}

Yeah i have a hard time getting on the roof of my house.

Way back in the 70's I did iron work, without all the safety equipment you have on in the picture.

Things sure were different back then walking steel that was not secured by anything but gravity over 100 feet up.

Yeah, I've heard guys talking about those days. Riding down off the steel on the headache ball of the crane. Things like that :eek:

We've always had that gear on since I've worked there. Makes my wife feel a little better about me working up there :cool:

Here's a few other pics from that day....

edit -- here's a pic of the telescope itself, for those who haven't seen it. That white rectangle on the lower right side is a surplus army trailer.
In that position, its almost 500 feet tall. The dish is 100 meters in diameter and its 2.3 acres in area.

Sounds like things are startin' to shape up!

Joe

If the weather is decent do you guys want to try for a cookout?

Nothing fancy, just burgers and dogs with a couple sides?

Several parks not to far from the mall we could drive over to and probably find a grill and some picnic tables at.
