Just got back. Learned a bit this year. There is a 'bearpit' session where we meet with the premier and some of his ministers - things heated up a few times. The hospitality rooms were good as usual, Redhead stole the show with their new building and close to 1500 in attendance. Kramer has a new simulator to show how their new grader w/ no steering wheel or levers works, just two big multi function joysticks! I think some of the vidoe game kids out there will make great construction equipment operators in the future!!

 

Where was it held this year? Me and my dad have went to them a few years. He tries to go every year and this year he is up noth working still, so he will be dissapointed he missed it.

 

My dad went but he was late to the bear pit session due to forgetting wallet. He was so mad. My dad has made the news a couple years now over his yelling at Ministers. This year was his best argument he figured.

 

Thats awesome. My dad says he gets upset but he never yells. I told him to tell me to say what he wants too, Id yell at people

 

the booms and scissor lifts i drive are all joystick controls

 

That must be pretty neat driving them.

 

the boom is cool the scissor lift is pretty boring, forward back left right up down. the boom is forward back left right primary up, primary down, jib up, jib down, secondary up, secondary down, basket level up, basket level down, basket rotate left, basket rotate right all at 60' up in the air and extend primary

 

Nice takes a little know how too.

 

its weird for the first couple now i can do it with my eyes closed

 

Thats right on, good to be able to know it so well!

 

poor passengers... lol...just kidding

 

Lol funny stuff!
