Or possibly the Ranger up to Webster Lake.

Or maybe both.


Or...you could start building my fishing rod.

That's a rainy, snowy day thing.

He probably goes skiing on those days. :}

LOL. It's the anticipation anyway ... I ordered a car lift from Rotary
Lift (Revolution) on June 3rd. The distributor told me it would be
delivered and installed the week of June 26th.

It was delivered and installed Friday afternoon.

I've never owned a "custom" fishing rod.
BTW, I talked my wife out of a Mustang, but no choice as of the moment.

I assume that the lift has a manual locking system?

Yep. Each corner has a latch that drops into a slot in each of the vertical
posts. There are slots every 3 inches or so. You can adjust the position of
the slots so the latches drop in where you want them to.

It goes up using a 220v motor and hydraulic pump driving a long cylinder
located horizontally under one of the ramps. The cylinder in turn operates
four cables that do the lifting. To lower, you raise it slightly to take the
weight off of the latches then, holding a release lever, you move a
hydraulic valve with a small lever.
The weight lowers it at a controlled rate.

I laid this whole thing out using a CADD program before I bought it. It
actually fits exactly like the numbers said it would.

YAY!!!

Now, go buy here a Corvette.


If you haven't, check out a BMW 330i or 330ci. It is sporty, gobs of
power and handles beautifully.
The 330ci is a convertable. The top is double layered and insulated. With
it up you cannot distinguish it as being a convertible, noise or cold-wise.

We have a Quaker Steak and Lube franchise near us
(http://www.quakersteak.com/default.a...tion=sheffield) . The owner
of the franchise is a car and bike collector and displays his toys in the
restaurant. For cars he uses a lift similar to the one you have:

Other cars and bikes he displays:

I like the lift idea...

It was worth the wait. Even Mrs.E. likes it. It is well made and doesn't
have a commercial garage look. It's also free standing and does not require
bolting to the floor. They sell optional wheels that can be set to raise
the whole thing up when you lower the ramps so you can move it around.

It's a hobbyist line made by Rotary Lift (who makes the majority of
commercial lifts) and is called a "Revolution". It's rated for 7000 lbs.
and is available in several colors. The guy who bought our house in Florida
turned me on to it.

Very similar, but a different manufacturer. Works the same way.

Or the 335i. Twin turbos in a BMW!
