And my truc...Shawn, well, see I <I>did</I> think of that. And my truck has a cargo rack on top where I could mount a ladder. Unfortunately, it won't work because I can't maneuver the truck into position under all the light banks - there's fixed shop equipment in the way.<BR/><BR/>I did find a ladder that will work though. Home Depot tool rental of all places, and for cheap too. $26. Wasn't able to do it yesterday because of the whole scout master deal. So I'll head up this morning, get the lights and ladder and get the job done. <BR/><BR/>And I also enjoy your twisted recursion, that's sort of the whole point, isn't it? :) I think that makes sense, but then again it 5:30 AM here and I may not have had enough coffee yet.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-73648586334054045082007-11-19T08:00:00.000-06:002007-11-19T08:00:00.000-06:00There's a certain twisted recursion to that, which...<EM>There's a certain twisted recursion to that, which I like...</EM><BR/><BR/>Shawn's twisted!

If it's not tall enough, get even more redneck, and use a small stepladder from atop the truck. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and don't sue me when you fall and stuff. (Awe heck, sue me, all you'll get is a big mortgage and a broken pickup...)<BR/><BR/>Still, be careful. <BR/><BR/>And don't listen to advice you get from blog comments.

F...I'm pretty soured on the Boy Scouts of America. Frankly, I think a better title for the organization would be the "Junior Republicans," though "Young Pioneers" or "Young Octoberists" would probably work as well. <BR/><BR/>I myself was an Eagle Scout, years ago. I loved the scouts, I was an instructor at scout summer camps for 8 years. I went to Philmont in 76' and ended up with my picture on the cover of Boy's Life. But somewhere, in the last twenty years since I've been away from it, scouting has changed. The Xian fundamentalists have taken over. And they are busy pushing their anti-gay, anti-liberal, anti-non-Christian, anti-women agenda. They've got a long list of people that aren't acceptable - and that is definitely not something I want my kid involved in. I put up with it for a year, but every meeting was like attending Neocon fund raiser - I was starting to look around for white sheets or swastikas. No thanks.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-60943930152660749462007-11-18T18:55:00.000-06:002007-11-18T18:55:00.000-06:00I don't support the scouts anymore, either, for ex...I don't support the scouts anymore, either, for exactly the same reasons. A good program, but it bothers me that they're so exclusive (at least from my perspective). <BR/><BR/>P.S. In the future, ask for help when you need it, bonehead.
