    My original thought was they sure have a strange diet up there. Wasn't going to say anything, but I have to agree with you.

    I did for a few years. Started with a little boom truck company running a Skyhook 130. They're common in the sign business but we set a lot of steel and trusses and air conditioners. Also stood up a lot of light poles.

    After that I went to work for a guy who let me run a 70 ton Grove. Did mostly red iron with that. I never got to run his conventionals but I helped set a them up a lot.

    Very cool. The first crane company I worked for in Baltimore actually started as a sign company. Contractors on jobs kept asking him to do small picks and it just blew up from there.

    Here's a pic of the boom truck I ran for the first company
    IMG_20190102_183849.jpg

    This was one of the larger ones. I had started on a smaller one that was on a 71 Ford 9000 with a 391 propane engine and a 5x4.
    When they asked me to drive this one I lied like a rug when they asked if I could shift a 8LL. It was a 95 Ford with the 275 Cummins in it.

    Back in Watkins Glen not on the Harley today though.
    Cheap ### salt to get me rolling again.

    The view ain't half bad if that bucket would move. The fishing here never impressed me, but the scenery was usually top shelf. :laughing6:
