                  ack... i got a little ahead of you. i watched for updates over the weekend but didn't see the updates so i figured your only posting and climbing during the week.

                  i'll put my flights towards the space needle till we're in step with each other again.

                    i've finished the seattle space needle.

                    i guess i'll just continue on this set of buildings and work on canary wharf tower on my own and the twin towers with barr.

                              Sorry I have been MIA for a while now. I injured my knee doing those darn lunges and haven't been able to do stairs. Long story short...forced myself to do some stairs today and I feel pretty good. Knee is hurting, but nothing I can't handle. I restarted the Clifton Suspension Bridge since it has been so long.

                                mommajen, if you can find your lost flights for clifton, you can keep the older total and just add to it.
                                it's nice to have you back doing flights!
