Tomorrow will be equally difficult but I can't let off because of high winds expected Wednesday and Thursday.
I plan to have an off day (or partial) on Wednesday to give a break to my crew.
I will continue by myself, or with Gordon on weds, etc. to get as much done as possible before weather (winds) abate.

We reached 140 ft today at rim and have tensioned 3 of the 4 guys. The fourth guys are in place (including the dreaded AWM's and bird diverters) but still need to plumb and tension those. Plan to complete that tomorrow, give Chris and Laura a much needed break and then continue on to soil sensors etc.
If winds are not too high we will consider a 40 ft tower at far (with a shortened crew).
I need to commend high praise to my crew for work completed so far. All are conscious of our deadline and willing to go the extra mile to make this all work out. Kudos to all who have participated in this setup!
