Today Sparky caught Chris and Manny and their cranes with Carlos, Nugget and Stan in the air while Troy is working on the ground. Here is the worksite and the project - add legs to the 2nd Pearman support

Here is the aerial configuration - Carlos, Nugget and Stan

You can tell it is Nugget - just look at his chin

Here is the other base - a virgin base that will com into action later today

Here they are - Stan, Carlos and Nugget - we've missed them and they have brought back their smiles and energy.

Are these guys acrobats, ironworkers are clowns?? - Whatever, they bring a bit of fun to the job

Here is Stan and his welding cap in the up position while Manny holds the triple support tube array in place.
