Recovery was effected by a Chinese hand winch and steel bars to use for rollers, just the same way the Egyptians built the pyramids. Who says you need expensive gear to play with Carriers?

Bet getting it off was a little faster with gravity on your side. Are you the proud new owner Tony?

And looks like you're burning that candle at both ends judging when you posted last night and this morning!
