Last Sunday, my neighbor asked a group of men at church for volunteers to help him scale a 50-ft tower and dismantle some equipment he had there. Clay went running up to him immediately and said his mom would love to do it. The neighbor laughed, and thinking he was joking, told Eric what Clay had said. Eric confirmed that indeed, that was right up my alley. So that evening he came over to hear it from my own mouth, was I seriously interested? Oh Yeah!
So here are a couple of photos that Eric took from the ground (his job was to untie the equipment when we lowered it down to him, and to drive the truck up and back over the 4wheel drive road).

settled in for the dismantling part of the job
After getting a part off the tower, we would lower them on a rope down to Eric.
crossing to the other side of the tower again
descending, job well done
Here are some photos from the last couple weeks. Dash got neutered and had to wear the cone of shame for a couple days, poor guy. He was very excited when we took it off!
Clay, first day of 8th grade
Clay wanted a picture of him looking heroic!
