Those crane pictures get so boring. I mean let's face it, its not like its the Marquis super-crane or anything. Just saying. lol

Tell us about the last time you were under the hook cutting 4k at 115 radius then why doncha?

I could probably swing with Old Vet in all pomp seriousness and gentlemen, I can't say that about all of you.

And yer right, Marquis does not have a boring crane.

Flooded out pretty good around here. I got off the main roads because I knew I had a better chance of fording through deep water than getting around miles of stuck cars. Plus I choose being swept off the road by floodwaters over sitting in traffic any day. Pretty sure there is no more road salt ANYWHERE under the Power Wagon. Got to the point the police were manning roadblocks, I was about to roll up and ask if he could just get out of my way.

Looks like there was some kind of larva in there eating the cambium then some woodpeckers came around and drilled all the holes you see. Easy pickings for them peckers, looks like the larva of a typical pine bark beetle

That's pretty cool. How the heck do the birds know where to drill, also how do they know they're there in the first place? I have to remove a dozen of theses things and the condo association was asking about eradication of the insects. Not in my wheel house.

Haha. It's a saying us wannabe mariners use. It's like saying not my area of expertise.

Well, Essex County is under quarantine because of EAB, but its more amusing insulting a geriatric bipolar ignoramus than talking about a little bug.

What exactly does the quarantine mean and for how long?

Never mind, found it.

So you're gonna dig the dirt out of those pockets with a screwdriver every time you go to switch to the forks, is that the plan, DR?

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

I am going to weld those angled brackets to the bucket to hold the forks. The forks are way to long and will bend the bucket, plus the machine can't lift out that far. I plan to cut the forks right before the upright backcatch and ditch the clamp as well then slide the forks into the brackets. This will shorten the forks to match the machine and make the forks easier to handle.

I also have a good receiver there to weld to the top of the bucket for various reasons plus I will be able to chain the bottom of the bucket to the top so big weight won't bend the crap out of the bucket.

It looks that way, yes. But I don't anticipate it being to much of a problem. I'll make a reamer, not a screwdriver!

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

Huh, dude??

I said that since with your limited crane experience maybe you should shut yer pie hole, that me and the Vet could probably hammer out tough jobs together no problem, that that wasn't the case with everybody and that Marquis has an insane crane.

And I'm saying that the fact that even a gay, rabbit humper like yourself can be proficient with a crane, speaks volumes to their usefulness once again!! Truly amazing machines!!
