do you have Outriggers on that crane ??

Yes we have an outrigger...we have a Mittsubishi Fuso as our delivery truck and our crane can handle 2500 pounds if the spot is right next to the truck or about 1500 pounds at 10 feet out and less even farther out..This morning we got 12,000 pounds worth of monuments shipped in from our sandblast facility and the guy drove the truck in has a huge boom-crane that can handle several thousand pounds..

The monument we are setting is over 6 feet wide and over 4 feet tall..Jet black with custom etchings and sculpture work..the man who ordered the monument is flying up from Florida to see it. Hopefully the delivery driver gets a good picture of it for the website..

Damn, sounds like quite the monument. What's the sticker price on something like that?

One former Chairman of our Board of Trustees at the college owned a monument company in addition to a career as a Banker .

So i heard all kinds of stories bout spring plantings and " shake and bakes" . Used to play golf with he and an executive from one of the Monument "quarries" in Barre VT =some fun times these guys KNEW how to have fun

But i guess if u r in the death and dying "bidness", that's a great coping strategy.

Good luck with setting "Black Beauty" Steeze :D

Waiting for the little guy to settle down for his nap. Then I have to finish up a book, preferably today. 87 pgs til it's finished but that's for the class that's later in the week. I have 200 pgs to read for my early week class... Since the early week class is a new book, and the later class is finishing a book, I'd like to just finish before I switch gears. Which means I have to really focus and get this done.

I used to read ALL the time. And often read books in one day (heck, I've read 1000+ pgs books in one day... but that was pre-kids, on a weekend day, and I stayed up most of the night, too). It's different when you don't get to choose your reading material, though.

Wow 1,000 pages in a day...da damn..:blink: I'd like to get back into reading books..I haven't read anything other than magazines, internet, newspapers since this past winter.

I have to update current sales figures and figure out what percentage ahead of last year we're at..

Trying to decide if I should purchase a new type of instrument for my root canal armamentarium or not??? Of course the manufacturer of the potential new buy practically claims its the greatest thing since sliced bread :rolleyes:

How much money was in it??? Did you get a reward?

About 160$, I found his doctor's biz card and had them call him and then his wife called me. I'm waiting to hear back when he wants to pick it up. I won't take a reward. Hopefully, somebody will do something nice for me if karma really works. If he happens to be a famous zillionaire, I might reconsider, lol.

Staring at projected numbers needed to fund my offices retirement account for 2008. Almost at the target number for the year, not bad with 3 months to go.
