BMN Lifted Brian UWC – NMHU Connection

Good Morning
I had a grand experience working Sunday for Desertgate. We were creating a new connection between United World College and New Mexico Highlands University, in itself a pretty cool link. I also got to work for the first time on a Man lift:

(genie_man_lift) Oh man these things are great: Up/Down-left/right-swing-this-way and that, pretty much the bucket goes anywhere you need it. Yeah, I felt like a kid again.

Lifted-Brian-Aug-12th-2012-looking-down-Porkchop-Max-Ron  I suggested they wear their hardhats. Honestly I was in hog heaven with not a care in the world.

Lifted-Brian-Aug-12th-2012-looking-up-Porkchop  Yeah, I zoomed the lift up around twenty feet, probably about a quarter of the way it can go. I needed a couple good pictures.

Lifted-Brian-Aug-12th-2012-temp-tower  First thing I did was setup this temporary tower in the back of the truck. The base I made a few weeks ago. The brackets I built a few days ago and were to move some of the less heavy back haul antennas to making room for the absurdly large Motorola back haul that is pointing to NMHU, seen below.

We had to leave the mountaintop because a storm blew in. Lightening was cracking nearby. Ron said Porkchop was the second highest point in Las Vegas. I never got around to asking what the highest point is. We were in a very dangerous place and we left the job incomplete. I got to go home, but Sean, Ron, and Eric intended to wait out the storm, and go back.

I know it rained here until dark with a couple breaks. This was the best rain all Summer

Happy Monday

Sincerely,
Brian Rodgers
