Tonight Larry brought home the boom truck he drives for Walkers, in order to put up the next 20' section of tower for our Internet dish.

Meanwhile, the boom is nearly extended,

The scissor lift rises to 40 feet -- right to the top of the tower.

Tabby
He'll soon be 19 years old... but he still scampers around like a kitten now and then.
Tiger -- he makes at least three of little Tabby.
