Stop in for a cup of coffee

"Just climb on the ball Alex! I'll get ya down!" says Red the crane operator. Swings me off the top of the portable plant I was workin' on, releases the brake on the load line, freefall, catches me about a foot off the ground :lol: I got him back later on another job. 40 mph on a public street with him in his doghouse and 125' of boom following him :lol:
It is kind of funny the trust that builds between the crane operator and the guys hanging precariously on some sliver of red iron trying to set this or that. Them guys took great care of me. It’s all good till I post a laborer on one of my offside pads and hand him a radio explaining you see so much as a peep of light under there you yell.
