The most I have had go wrong is a lifting shackle bent due to a goofy angle on the top side of the piece. So as it lifted the piece straight (double drumming on the crane) one of the top shackles didn't spin properly and I had a bent lifting shackle on a 50k+ lb piece. Kept it low and had 20 foot to drop into place so that was still our safest bet. It had 4 shackles on top and each one was rated for 20k lbs but if this one snapped that would send the piece all sideways putting extra stress on the other 2 (the third would do nothing as it's all on roller blocks).No Pressure...People just get KILLED if you mess up at work.
Fortunately have a rental with a boat lift up here at Lake LBJ west of Austin. Went out this morning with a life jacket and a knife and had it out in about 10 minutes. Had a nice morning cruise after!A bit of work before play. Did this at launch this evening. First rope!
Me too! But I had to give this one a shot as it is new for Rhinegeist (Amazing). I promise not to drink one on the boat until at least October.Ugh, they have them out already!? I have problems drinking Oktoberfest when it's still summer.
Wow! Those are cool school photos! I figured everyone always had to do the three lines of sit, kneel, stand and 3 photos you're done.Picture day for Varsity HS Volleyball. #18 is my little one!!
