  1. #4 was tempted to do that to the 52" when the kids wouldn't get to their chores. Thankfully they out grew the stage.
    #9 How long will that fix hold?
    #1 I meant to do that.

    1. #1 looks like a test of the landing gear for an air dropped vehicle.

      #2 is why you stay in school and study.

      #9 is what happens when you pay by the hour and not by the quality of the work.

    2. #2. When you find out what the tower climbers get paid you figure out the why.

  5. #6 stayed right in the middle. Make a good bull rider. Gotta wonder how far he went before he decided that to bail.

    1. What is it about pigs that makes guys want to hop on their backs and ride them? Other guys, I mean. Not me. Totally not me. I don't care what you have on film.

    2. Dave, I've never wanted to ride a pig two legged or four.

    3. Ride doesn't count; gotta have one hand in the air.

  6. #2 - The view at the top is spectacular. But you have to watch awhile before the climber gets there.

  7. #1 Still drives good but pulls a little bit to the left. Especially if it has manual steering.

  9. #6: As a veteran Alabama Hog Rider, I'll tell you, you got to grab hold of the ears if you want to steer that thing. It also doesn't hurt to slap a folded over burlap feed sack on its back before mounting up. Hog bristles and tender spots do not mix.

  10. Makes me want to rewrite a song: "Soo-wee-soo-wee! Soo-wee-soo-wa-ay! Stoat riders in...the sty!"

  12. #4 - You suck as a parent. Don't be surprised when you're sitting in a cheap nursing home complaining to your fellow residents that your kids never visit you.

    1. Yeah, but did you see that broom pushing kid's hair? Clearly a barbershop setting and looks like Dad already inflicted a little bouffant punishment on the lad. May be something real serious had occurred.

  13. I want # 6 to have motorcycle noise

    1. Pigs will naturally make that noise, you just have to lean back and squeeze their nuts.

  14. #8 isn't the first time a truck has squeezed through there.

  15. #1 testing how well it will survive a delivery via plane drop?

  16. #3 Clearin' the log-jam here, Boss.

  17. #1 is Russian Army Test of an Airbagged Pallet for Parachute Drops. Tower is Cheaper than a Plane, Swinging Motion is for the Drift that a Parachute might have. I've seen Vids where a pair of BMP's (Armored Personnel Carriers) get Dumped from the Antonov Transport, Eight Parachutes and much larger Airbags, Crews Jump out and land right after, get in the Vehicles and Drive away.

  19. #3 is an Australian Kelpie. Bred and trained to do that - fascinating to watch them work.

    1. The principle of Kelpie running over packed herd was used in the Crocodile Dundee movie, when the lovers wanted to bypass a packed crowd of people to get together.

    1. I built and climbed microwave towers in the Army. It was fun.

      Delete
  21. I installed satellite and microwave systems after I retired from the USAF. I had an IT degree but installing radios paid twice as much. I replaced the strobe assembly on the second tallest radio tower in California. I climbed it believing it was just the bulb. I ordered the replacement assembly and climbed down. It was overnighted and I climbed it again the next day to install the assembly. I was so sore the day after I could not walk.

  22. #7- I always wondered what shot size would work best on one of them. I always figured #4 or bigger. And a pretty open choke.

  23. #2 crabclowing up a tower like that is a real workout. exhausting

    ReplyDelete
  24. #2--As bad as going up would be, I think coming down would be worse.
