Ah, well that's nice.

The point of having the avatar in the first place, is for others to actually see it. Thank you for sharing your member user experience regarding it's actual visibility.... I appreciate knowing that it is functional now.

Anything for you Mr. Chitwood. Anything for you.

Happy Hump Day.

Had a long day today. Looked at 21 different structures, including some new stuff I've never been on before. Technically I've climbed a windmill before, but this time I got paid to do it.

Also this happened.

See this chimney?


That's on top of this four story building. It was over 100 years old and was pretty impressive in person. Even more impressive was that the reason it was in the middle of the roof, is because they added on to the building later, so originally that thing was on the side. Lots of brick work likely done by hand back then. Impressive.

Wind blew some stuff over. I've driven past about 10 others blown over. One of them all 8 towers blew over, the entire run except for the pivot itself.


The roads out here are so full of water that the day after it rains, you can barely do 40mph on the best dirt roads, unlike the 75mph you can do out in Colorado. Google doesn't recognize these unmaintained areas and tries to route you through them. One of the few times I say to myself, "Maybe I should get a truck."


Corn. What's better than walking on metal roofs? Doing it with work boots after you just walked through ankle deep mud for 50 yards just to get to the structure. Can see foot prints all the way from the ladder.


Saw this dead bird next to an egg. I'm thinking the bird stole the egg, then got killed my something else before it could eat it. Maybe.

Heya GG.

How's stuff going for ya?

Damn good. Back to reality tomorrow. But it was a nice few days of bliss.

I highly recommend this place: Inn at Lost Creek in Telluride. Holy cow, I'm seriously impressed with this place and I've traveled quite a bit. A++

Great info, and thank you.

Thanks for the pics, Irving. Looks like you're working your butt off.
