Those are some pretty fancy stocks that dog has there.

eBay! Do you know more about these "twigs"? I've briefly tried to hold a mast of 5 segments upright and while no bending or anything this time, it took a bit of strength. I guess they are intended to be anchored to 3 points on the ground or something like that, right?

lightning protection is only ever "best endeavours". When I was involved with mil-spec and met stuff years ago, I have seen it do tremendous damage to radar heads built to withstand it... the power of nature to surprise us. Gotta try but you'll need a healthy dose of luck too :) Nice "twig" btw. How did you come by that?

The supervisor is irrationally afraid of everything that makes loud noises, like packages, waste baskets, antenna masts, ... But she has no problem bullying dogs 10 times her weight and as it is with large friendly dogs, they usually tolerate it :)
