Look what the cat dragged in. ;D

How is it?

Trusses set. Safety MARY would have been proud of me...fall protection and everything.

The crane operator said we were 'tight' and to back off on the bracing. We listened and got 'er done.

I'm beat...nite
glad you made it to another day.   [beer]

Evening.

Had a good day Duc  [Dolph] today.    That thing is scary fast (for an ol' fella used to pottering around in the dirt on a DR650  [laugh]).

You mentioned the same thing the last time you rode it.

going back and forth between a dirt bike type bike and a Monster makes the riding position of the Monster feel really aggressive doesn't it?  [laugh]

Well...me too...but...

Have you ever climbed trusses with all thos ropes trying to trip you and dragging tools out of your pouch? What a PITA.

I'll bet as many people fall because of the fall protection. :P

Yup.  Arse up nose down  [laugh].   Last time I took the Monster out (first time in months) I really noticed it.  Not so much this time.....  but after being used to riding the DR..... I do find myself traveling MUCH faster than I think I am... triple digit numbers spool up very easily :o.

This morning.

Its gray and foggy and supposed to rain again. We worked all day in the rain yesterday. Everyone looked like drowned rats. I'm not in for another day like that.

Illcome back up next week and we'll hopefully get everything permanently braced and a roof on it. I'll be pretty much done by that point.i have my own house and work in the shopto get done.

Came home to no water...still...and finally fixed that.

I don't even care at this point.
