James's Story
i have been doing the same type of work for the last 37years. I operate barge mounted cranes. my work has taken me from Califorina to Alaska. i have operated numerious derrick barges over the years, and worked on many projects on the west coast. some of the projects will be around much longer than i, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Hoods Canel Floating Bridge, Wanapum Dam, The Dalles Dam The Hwy520 Floating Bridge across Lake Washington in Seattle, these are a few of the jobs that i worked on. one of the derrick barges that i was fortunate enough to operate was the D.B.General , she is the largest floating crane on the west coast and has the lifting capicity of 700tons. there are many larger in the world but she...Expand for more
is the largest on the west coast.
my off hours are spent doing yard work(which i actuall like) riding my harley and crusing around in my hot rod (1948 ford picup) that i built 26 years ago. all rides on my harley are good just some are better than others my preferance is to ride in the dessert .
somewhere around 20yrs ago i got into tattos'. i never have counted but they are addicting i have 2 full sleaves and a full back piece along with numerous others.
i probably work to much but hope to change that in the next couple of years
i would say that my escape is riding my harley it seems that in 3blocks from the house i can forget everything and just ride leaving many times with no destination in mind.
