So, it looks like good linemen run on breakfast burritos...And now I want one too despite the fact it is not breakfast time here.
I would imagine that most people have zero clue what goes on behind the scenes to ensure the lights go on when that switch is flicked. Sure, there's some poles, wires a truck that goes up and down and a few dudes in hi-vis and hard hats...How hard can it be?
Well...This sure dispels that little misconception.
Seems like you boys know what's up when it comes to your jobs and don't just connect wires and look good in hi-vis. A great post here mate, as always. Nice work on the tools too brah. (Curated for curangel.)
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a breakfast burrito addiction... I did forget to mention that we got our grub on at a Chinese buffet for lunch. Hey when the Altec guy is payin’ might as well “filler’ up”.
That is my goal, to bring.... I hate to put it this way... light... to what goes on. We don’t just flip a switch and the lights come back on. We don’t just dig holes, set poles, and string wire.... Sometimes I feel like a lumberjack or mechanic, even standing on the side of the road flagging traffic while my boys do Hot work... (not my favorite thing to do but sometimes you get the short straw.
We are currently getting some snow so I really hope the trees stand good and tall this go around. Lol
Oh yeah, nothing like a free tank of Chinese food huh? Nice work.
Yeah, you do a good job of demonstrating the complexities, challenges and cool stuff about your job. I don't know why, but I wasn't following you. I think maybe because you resteem a lot, which I am writing about now actually, but I followed anyway.
I just wish I was still doing helicopter work. That is the fun stuff!! No worries, I don’t resteem that much stuff... at least I don’t think so anyway. Lol. Shoot I don’t have much available time to spend one here. I have too much stuff going on.... at least I am not bored. 😜😜 Next project... swap axles from a 2005 Ford F-350 into my 1997 F-350... this is gonna be good.... when it happens. Lol.
Oh cool, working on F-trucks...Now that's post-worthy!
EDIT: Just took another look at your blog. Looks like one RS a day or so...The thing that got me was that you don't post much yourself so it looked like loads of RS posts. All good. Following now anyway.
It’s gonna be fun... once winter decides to leave and I can tear into the parts truck and tank those axles out... I need a shop at my house really bad. Lol
Ya I can, but the parts truck still has a lot of parts I need to get out of it. Without axles it isn’t too ful to move. It still has a motor, transmission, transfer case... I got the whole thing for $500 and just the axles sell for $1,500. So I scored pretty good. I have sold some stuff off of it and got $300 back. So far a $200 investment is all
This reminds me of NCRs I get at work. The workers at site end up in all kinds of silly situations.
My favourite was when our HSE people found evidence of urination in a non-designated area. The poor dude literally had a picture of himself sent all over the place with his face blurred, but his name had to go on the report because he was the acting supervisor.
DAHAHAHA!!! There was a guy at the old place I worked that didn’t like a meter reader parking in his spot. He would put Glove Dust(basically baby powder that we use inside our rubber gloves to make it easier to take on and off.) in the vents of his work truck, put silicone lubricant (we use this when making watertight seals on underground cable) under his door handles. It was happening constantly. Then they called him in and he denied everything. Then they pulled the video... “nope, that’s not me!” .... LIAR.... yep he got fired. Lol.
Oh BTW, glove dust in the vents is awesome!!! Just make sure you can turn the car on, out the vents you put the dust in on full blast and shit the car off... once they get in and start it.... Just call them Whitey.
That sounds like some good sabatoge. How did they get it in the vents? I'd lock my vehicle and make sure I have a decent cabin filter.
Our guy didn't get fired, he just had to sign the report saying the team had completed additional training to prevent further incidents. I heard the crew teased him badly.

Good luck with the snow and trees.

Yeah, I can imagine working in the snow isn't much fun. Can't you use the workshop at work?
