Re: One for Decker
Would do it in a heartbeat! Traveling was killing my marriage though. I love heights and would have no issues. I have seen that video many times. But what they do not show you is the towers like that twist back and forth in the wind. Kinda cool when you are on one and it starts twisting.

Oh jeez, what a bunch of pansies. You get to ride the elevator for the first 1600 feet! That's like, almost all the way.

Maybe if it were the last 1600 feet I could that. Well as long as I could change the bulb without leaving the elevator.

Re: One for Decker
Here is one I've done dozens of times. Talk about butt pucker. Nowhere to tie off and you have to get up there and grab the upper section to set it in place.
