I've got one like yours at home which Harrops gave me when I got the e-locker fitted, but it's not much good to me down there.
Will do Cuppa. I'll try to find a spare. I've been throwing 'em out coz I didn't know what they were haha.

My over powering fear of heights! This is as far as I got with the cherry picker today.

You can kinda see how far up o got as I had to cut into the ivy and work my way up. That’s about 12 metres up and I just couldn’t concentrate up there. I felt real uneasy.
I did manage to get the ivy covered tree next to it down though. But this one I have to extent the boom out further and higher and yeah nup! I had to stop.
Plus there was a possum up there staring at me the entire time.
I’ll have another crack tomorrow as I need to get this tree down and it can’t just be dropped because there is a house right next to it and it’s leaning toward it.

My damn memory failed to remind me that I'm young no longer.
Spent all Sunday trying to re-enter the human race after Saturday night seeming to be like a good time drink beer and listen to music after helping my son & girlfriend move into their new rental.
I'd forgotten how sick you can make yourself feel.

Those cherry pickers are nasty things, especially those older highly used rental ones. With the wrong control inputs you can almost invert that tiny platform you are standing in, and the control cables often break when you are all the way up, leaving you stuck 15 metres in the air.

Sounds like you are just out of practice.
I keep myself in condition by drinking copious amounts of alcohol every weekend, never get hangovers.

Yeah maybe? The body no longer tolerates it like it used to. Gunna give it a rest for a while I reckon, see how far I get.
