Jonny glad to hear your little girl is coming home.
Brendon how are the controls different? And fwiw my 950 doesn't have a exposed fan, totally protected and lucky thing too or I'd have toasted it.

The controls for the boom are 2 separate sticks, as opposed to Thomas' single joystick. The position of the Thomas' joystick makes it so your hands don't dance around. One palm is on the forward reverse controls, the other palm is on the joystick, while you just reach over with your pointer and thumb to open/close the grapple.
It's not a horrible thing, I just prefer the Thomas' setup.

I've never used anything else so I was just wondering. Joystick sounds much mo better.

I like the new boxer setup myself. Four controls all together. Center two sticks drive tracks. leftside works up and down boom. Rightside works bucket roll and dump.
Then you have a lever to the right that works the hydraulics.

My job went from good money, to OK money, to "hey it December and we're working, isn't that great?!" My number two climber did his first medium big silver maple today and took up residence there. I thought he was going to have to send out change of address forms. Oh well, he gained new appreciation for what I do. That's something isn't it? I do so want to employ someone who is a better and faster climber than me. Jim could be that guy with a few years under his belt but he will be leaving in spring to go on mission and then I will be looking for a new number two.

Kind of a strange looking location. What's the body of water?
