Where are your pics? I saw your car. I was going to put a "Hi Walt <3 <3 <3" note on it but I couldn't find any paper ;(

I may have some more pics to add to it from about 8 pm (Which is what it looks like michaels are) but I left my camera in my truck by mistake and it's all the way downstairs.. And I'm too tired to go get it.

I'm in South Dakota right now for work. My wife was at the park with my son today and apparently took some pictures for me. But I haven't gotten them yet.

Ooooh. That makes sense. :) South Dakota? I'm sorry. Give the corn palace in mitchell a visit ;)

Back on topic.. Quite a few pieces went vertical today. I'll fetch my camera in the morning and see what pictures I got.

Thanx for the quick post walt. And thank you for the props MaxaiRaptor. They are surprisingly nice pics from a phone/camera. That is right, alot of supports went vertical today.

Also, was that maybe walt's truck that I seen today with the "CP 1870" Plates. It was parked next to my Monte, in the Soak City Lot. I did not know whom it belonged to, thought someone on here might know.

I was thinking average pics, but if those were from a phone, then I take it back. Is that more than a megapixel Mike? If so, just out of curiosity, what phone do you have?

There are a bunch of phones with cameras in the 1-2 MP range nowadays.

i got a good look at all the supports while driving to soak city yesterday. also took a peep at them through the fence and it is nice to see something come to life. my first thought was the sperm has fertilized the egg.

I do not know the model #, but it is a Newer Nokia Flip phone. I just click a picture than send it to my e-mail and then erase it from the phone.

I am going back to the park in a few, because my wife wanted to go today and she had to work yesterday, so if you guys want more pics I will take them. If they are still behind schedule than they will most likely be working at the site again today.

Although there is a large storm coming through Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana that is headed for the point, but were gonna try and make it anyways, crowds might be lower because of it.

Thank you for all the credits on the pics

Mikey

Neat sunset pics!

Those supports from Goliath do look very similar, but they aren't nearly as big as the ones on P2007 are they? The A-Frame supports on P2007 look stupid big.


Love it or Lump it.
