Nice ones Marty. I worked the Twin Falls area a few times over the years. It always seemed to be in winter and around the holidays, or in other words when I didn't really want to be there. And it's where I learned how to straighten out the end stanchions on a unit when someone forgot to unhook the chains for the walkway.
