Classic: Yeah, I saw you were here also and was waiting for a shout out! That Espar heater is working well for you I hope. The Tree Buzz crane forum was the only thing I knew about to talk cranes and boom trucks, but this is better. A huge amount of experience here, the first thing I did is read all the old posts back to 2012 anyway, very informative and entertaining. I need to let my buddy in AZ know about it, he's now running 2 Manitex 101's and a Elliott 18 ton rider, and keeps them all busy.
For future blurbs about what I've been up to, I'll start another thread, titled something like "National 1300A work", it's always good to make it easy for, in this case, someone searching for info on the specific National I run. I got lined out on this descriptive thread titling by the owner of backcountrypilot.org once ( a flying forum I spend a fair bit of time on, as "courierguy"), as I was guilty of titling a thread I was making with NO thought of future searchers on whatever topic I was yakking about. It made sense the way he explained to me, it also makes his site more valuable/usable and I'm good with that also, he needs to make a little money hopefully! So, I'll try and do the same here.
I worked Friday, and am working Tuesday, what winter slump?
