Heard a guy at the hardware store say 'a crane is just a big lever' and it stuck with me
I was picking up some grease at the local supply place in Tacoma yesterday, and this older guy was talking to the clerk. He said, 'People get all impressed, but a crane is just a big lever. You gotta respect the physics.' I mean, I know that, but hearing it put that plain made me think. I spent my whole shift today really focusing on the load path and the pivot points, not just the controls. Anyone else ever have a simple phrase change how you approach a routine lift?

Nah, it's more like controlled falling.

Feel you there, @karent75. Honestly, that's the best way to describe it.
