[TowerTalk] FIRST TOWER UP AND LOOKING GORGEOUS

[Russell Hill]

Possibly a rental cherry picker from a local rental yard would be a good 
idea.

If you want to rent one for perhaps a couple of hours max, you might be able 
to go and offer them a cut rate rental fee which they would accept.  The 
ones I have rented use electricity and consume no liquid fuel.

To save someone the bother of pointing out that all electricity consumes 
fuel in its production, even if that fuel consumption occurs 93,000,000 
miles away, may I point out that all.....

73,
Rusty, na5tr
