lol I burnt twice in training. Wasn't showing off, just got my butt too close to the pole. I didn't like climbing before, a quick trip the the ground sure didn't help! grin Good thing the ground was nice and soft where I hit. I also wasn't up very high so I didn't even have time to try to hug the pole. lol
Funny thing is that I actually liked the electical part of the job. High voltage didn't bother me much at all. Boy, the stories that can go with THAT kind of work! I'm glad you made it through Chuck. I always like the saying: There are dumb linesmen and there are old linesmen. But there are no dumb old linesmen! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck McCown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 3:16 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] old utility poles >I have been to the top of rotten 65 footers too many times in my life. > A nice new fairly soft pole is not too bad.
