An electrical synsathizer guitar?
Can I have three questions? 1. does this thing have anything to do with Bananas? 2. Is it a rolling machine for joints? 3. Do I really care WTF it is?:D Bren, Ya have to admit I didn't get lewd like...
I had an overhead transformer fuse blown by a rabbit one time. The Hawk was still sitting on top of the pole when I got there. I thought the bird or a bird blew the fuse, but when I got ready to...
Good post Paul. We also have redundancy in our system where we can bridge and keep most people in while we work the trouble de-energized in a clearance and in storm work we never work without rubber...
LNF and Org, say it like it is. We only worked trouble where we had to make it safe for the public and if customers were out of power we worked to get them back in. Line crews usually stayed in the...
We were cutting a patch around the jacket about 3 inches wide and exposing the concentric on both sides of the cut, then installing a spring wrap device that made a flat surface for the jaws of the...
The good part of all this Bren is you wont get to the grave cause you were unsafe. . .so you should be around for many more safety trainings!:eek: It's good to know you are back in the saddle. Take...

Here's a...
I smell what you stepped in. Before I retired we were going to the squeeze and although I didn't have to use one being a trainer,I could see the trouble guys were having trying to make it work. ...
I'm retired every day is a break. . . .:D I thought you'd be heading for the isle of Mann Bren. I spent a weekend at Road America for the Vintage races a couple weeks ago. Veterans got in free....

Good plan Org, I'd tweak that so the first two tries would burn down the fuse and be duds, then let him sweat out the third one playing Christian music. Oh sorry, we don't torture in this country. ....
Has Texas blown off the map yet? Looks like some messy clean up ahead for Ya'll. Hope you and yours are well in any event. See, this is why I live with only two tough seasons up here. Winter and...
Hang in there Bren, your a good man and the right thing will happen, even if you have to sniff under every rock. You've been good for this forum and always on top of your game. Good luck. I know what...
There is a product snowmobilers use to keep their face shield on their helmets clear in cold weather. I'm sure it would work in your situation. It works on goggles too.
At $40.00 per Melini, it would only take 100 connections to make up the difference between a hand held battery crimper and the cost of those connectors. I like how they operate but the cost will be a...
Sleeves are important protection but they don't protect as much as a lot of guys think. They get tested by hanging them over a vat of fluid with an electrode stick down the inside of the sleeve. The...
Just like rescuing a cat call, go up there and get him down. . .here take this nose bag. . . :eek:
It aint all that hard, they have two types of ball washers, The kind ya crank and the ones that go up and down, Problem is if Poot aint tall enough, there becomes and issue. . . .Never the less, once...

I called Rogers and he said he's a Quarterback. . . not a frog!:cool:
Every day your lights stay on, should be Lineman Appreciation day.:D
We always did it with one man, the foreman using a plumb bob. We'd see where to set the pole in the line, drilling the hole close to plumb to start with, then setting the pole, the foreman would...
