that rental isn't on this side of town is it?

I could use it for hanging lights, and I could use the trailer it's likely on for some running around, too. need to get pellets and I've got a new mower picked out, maybe

o man, gave me a couple hiccups tonight and i mistakenly forged on with use being 3/4 of the barn done and lighted. 



had to call nick to come let me down.  for some reason boom down stopped working. when he switched to manual overide at base, nothing there worked, but then when switched back bucket controls worked again.  odd.  ill investigate in daylight.  glad i took my phone with me, that would have been annoying.  i had tested the base controls once when i got it and they all worked fine.  hmm.
