Yes gentlemen, the luffer is attached. They boomed it down about a week and a half ago and added the luffing jib. I spoke to Jason via text today and although we were both aware of it, neither of us have had the time to go snap any photos. Sorry. most likely this weekend? Will try unless Jason can get some up first. And as for the photoshopping......seriously? The Dallas skyline is always that clear and beautiful. Never any smog or grime. You guys are crazy..........Just kidding. Although it is perhaps a little too "crisp", from that vantage point thats pretty much what it looks like on a blistering day.

Yeah I think I am going to head over the site Sunday Morning and get some pics. I have to get some special pics for a client so I need to get over there before they are done lifting. The pic does look photoshoped but that is what it looks like everyday just about here. Todays temp is supposed to be 101  JAson

I think you might be under the wrong impression about Dallas. It's not a dry heat by any stretch. Dallas has the worst weather in Texas. What we mean is 101 to 105 with a humidity of 43%. It is beyond miserable here. And I'm sorry to hear you have to work That's totally unfair. Someone should be held responsible for that!  We have to do it daily.

Texas actually has a lot of humidity, it doesn't start getting drier until you get a couple hours west out the hill country (I.e. Austin, San Antonio....) Here in El Paso we've been in the 100º to 105º for a couple of weeks now. Honestly, the dry heat is not that bad as long as you drink plenty of water! Ehem, and maybe as long as you are in the shade. I worked a movie out here a couple years ago and as long as i drank a ton of water and had plenty of sunscreen, it was not too bad! And back on topic, looking forward to catching some pics of this monster! Dan

Was just messin' with ya about work Dewoc. Glad to see you took my jab in stride. I agree with you work F N sucks. And I shouldn't complain about the weather here. I'm sure other folks elsewhere have it worse than I do.
