Anyone watch that where they raise a three rotor 300' tower in Portsmouth,
RI?

Very interesting, and I had wondered just how they rigged the blades on that
lift. A basket rig around two blades and a trailer crane to keep the third
leg from grabbing.

I have watched lots of similar stuff. Lifting the 62 metric ton nacelle,
they have two taglines, which they fairlead to some equipment. Wind at
25mph. One snaps, as I knew it would once they tied it off to something
solid. Called that one right on the button.

Very interesting to watch, and brought back a lot of memories.

Still makes me nervous to watch that stuff. I knew that line was going to
part.

Very interesting from a rigging and metalworking standpoint.

Of course you knew that. You did say, over in the Dodge Truck group,
that you suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder following a very
serious brain injury. Now you're real nervous, jumpy, twitchy,
constantly imagining things that might happen and reacting to your
imaginings as if they actually did. And you walk among us carrying a
concealed gun.

Very interesting from a rigging and metalworking standpoint.

With few options, the neurosurgeons bypassed most of the remnants of
Steve B's brains, and he survived to collect a big settlement. That's cool.

No. What are you talking about? What the heck is a "three rotor 300'
tower?" Do you have any links to any pictures?

Thanks,

blade propeller on a wind generator. Saw when it was first on. Watch
the bridge one. They're all interesting.

I recorded it last night and will watch over the weekend. Ive seen
some other shows with this guy, and they do show some pretty
"exciting" stuff. Most of it makes me wonder, "who ever thought THAT
would work?"

Google "big wind generators". A nice pic there of a crane lifting a three
blade.
