thanks dlew. steve dave mocked it last week when he was in town. why? who knows. anywho, i love that damn crane with every fiber of my being. if you ever want more pics of it, just post here and request them. there's a similar crane on the same site that i didn't even take a picture of. LOL, just sitting there doing what cranes do and i didn't even bother to take a picture of it. some days i think i need to walk back over to the construction site and snap a few photos of the 2nd crane. and i'll be perfectly honest with everyone here. if anyone wants to see the other crane i will take a photo of it and upload it to this site.
