Not too bad for a morning. I'll be going out again soon to receive the seatainers truck, then probably relaxing a bit for the heat to die and the batteries to finish charging. Hopefully, Will and I can finish up the Leica stuff this evening.-- went to town with the batteries and got lunch (and gas).
Afternoon:
- 3rd trucker arrived about 4:15. To place the 2 seatainers, he first dumped both off of the trailer, then picked one up and placed it, then came back to pick and place the other. The whole process took somewhat over an hour, but now looks exactly as Bill drew in his diagram. The time to do this was comparable to loading with a crane, or using the manual jacks, though in between the two in flexibility. BTW, he says that the trailer was $130K for an 8-year-old used one and that his previous one was $180K new 20 years ago. A pricey bit of equipment!
- Now back at motel where batteries are ready. Will, Bill, Isabel, and David are now making their way up from Vegas. Company, at last!
