    I with ya, My feet prefer to stay grounded. No likey heights much. Some jobs require us to use lifts. Even when harnessed and behind the hand rails I still get the shakes....... Main shops has low height(approx. 16FT). Our warehouse has 40". Tried changing some light bulbs one Saturday. Didn't get to far. Having to keep both hands on the rails keep you from getting much done. No freakin way I'll ever try that again.

    600" not this cat!!

    Seems the older I get the worse it is so I dont even try it anymore.

    In an airplane at 30K ft, in a building I am ok-in fact I love flying and tall rollercoasters. Get me on a suspension bridge across a ravine and I am holding on tight. That rollercoaster gets stuck on the hill and I am screwed :rofl: :lol:

    As a kid I would have loved these, but not anymore

    Why do these types of things always happen about 3 hours away from me?

    Last of the PTL's in the P43 - ran it in manual last night then switched it to auto for today since there was a lot of solar gain (lots of wind and high was 16*). Once the PTL's are gone, I have 1/2 bag still to dump into hopper, it will go over to Oakie Golds.

    Switched the P61a over to Oakie Golds on Friday for the cold weather and have been running it on manual since last night. Only have 3 bags of Inferno's that aren't under the tarp so I was going to have to do the switch soon anyway. Just now I have 3 bags of the lesser stuff left for when the warmer weather returns.

    I haven't seen his ad on CL lately. I think the last time I saw the ad was a month or two ago. I don't think I have his number but I'll check.

    I'm curious to know about this too. If I remember correctly, when he sold you guys those golds, he took a hefty money loss on them, but said he was going to stick with the business. With this being another relatively warm winter, wondering how he made out and if he's going to continue selling pellets.

    Hamers went in last night. Luckily we go back in the 50's next week. Only got a few bags left. Don't want to hit the set stack if I don't need too.
