[quote="Mister Jellyfish Mister
Kewl. My guy stands 12 1/2 feet tall, any problem with the stairs or overhead?[/quote]
Actually it might take some minor ingenuity to get him up top....Nothing I'm not game for trying if you are. The Fiesta deck sits atop the bottom (18' dia.)dome, so the view is over the top of the middle (10') one and you are sheltered by the top (6') one. Bottom and middle are SOLID climbable, and I'll use this as an excuse to reinforce the top for access if possible. (The topmost five struts of the middle dome are absent to allow free movement around the observation level, and that affects the solidity of the upper dome as far as being actually CLIMBABLE....)
I haven't decided what type of spire or tower will go on the very tiptop this time- But there will probably be some type of 5 or 6 foot something with some lights on it so I can say it's AT LEAST 25' tall.
All told, if Miniman stands atop the topmost dome that gets us up to over 30'......

One way or the other, there's a cold one in it fer ya. Can't wait to see MiniMan in person! Well done, bruthuh!

'Mornin' Bucket-Much. A little aged Sumatran in my cup today just got raised to welcome you back.

Ya-hooo (the good kind). I was just in Peru for 8 days. What a scene!

For some reason, the giant fingers I meet always slip and go lower.

I'm still a little jumpy from when they tried and fire me last year, so all change is potentially bad. Or I'm just a worrywort.

Bucket, did you enjoy Peru? Hope you got some great pics for us all to look longingly at!

Crypto, I see a pic of your truck? So, I put one up of my new-er one.

Tha'ts my beloved Tania, now alas, a rusting hulk in the driveway. (Blown gasket.) I don't belive that it would actually cost $5000 to repair, but even 3 is too much.

I don't love the new one like I did her, despite the advantages. Power locks and windows. Radio. Actual running engine.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 11:28 am

HAHAHA! For what ever reason, the truck I just got doesn't have power windows or locks! But then, neither did my other one so I don't miss not having them. All I really wanted was, V6, auto, with A/C, 4WD, Xtracab, with lower miles. And that's what I got. I miss the other one because I bought it new, but I'm really liking this one now.

I have to inject a word of pride for my mighty V4......Honda Element, baby! His name is Babar. When I become rich AND eccentric I dream of a fleet of four, painted to represent Earth, Air, Fire and Water. (Since Babar's already been to Burning Man, he's "Fire".)
I've never cleaned playadust out of anything faster than Babar, and he was very comfy during those 30 degree nights last year! This year I might have to perform a temporary shotgun-seat-ectomy in order to haul the slide for the Snowman....

That truck reminds me of the Ranger 4x4 I traded in a couple of months ago. I miss my 4x4 except when I pull up to the gas pump.

All wheel drive all the time. 3 gears. The army was her first owner--why should they care about gas prices?

La la la! I paid it off! One down, a bunch to go. Today, I paid off one student loan completely. I rule! Now, I just have to work on the credit card a bit.

Do you think longer boards are better to learn on?

I was thinking they might be more stable.
