Lets Introduce Ourselves

[demingrick]

I didn't realize this thread was here (my first post was in the wannabe forum), so here I am; I just started lineman school on 8-16-10 so you'd all be correct in assuming I'm a complete greenhorn.

I joined the forum to get a better idea of what I've gotten myself into. I have a small amount of experience with mining electrical (7200v shovel stuff) but when it comes to high line stuff I'm pretty much clueless.

I look forward to the wealth of knowledge I can gain from those of you that are willing to share it.

Mike -20 year Journeyman Lineman - 30 year member of Local 125 - all 30 at the local Utility - kids (5 daughters) grown and gone 3 thru college -

Starting on new journey tomorrow - first day as a "con", and truthfully, looking very much forward to it.

Past 30 has been my honor and privilege to have worked with some great men, many of which will have my respect till the end of days. I'm looking forward to meeting many more brothers and keep learning in the greatest trade going.

Here's a picture of my installation as Master of Faribault #9. The presiding officer is the Grand Master of MN Masons John L. Cook, Jr. and the retirng Master is Dave Kvestad.

I have been busy with Lodge and Job's Daughters and just spending time with the family. I hadn't thought much about this site until I got a notification somebody tried unsuccessfully to sign on as me.....probably Swampsuck in an attempt to gain some credibility......but that's just a guess (LOL).

Hope everybody had an enjoyable holiday and finds peace and prosperity in the New Year.

Jimmy

I just wanted to add a little more information about the picture.....
As some of you know, I was apopted by my grandparents. My grandfather, an orphan himself, never achieved more than a 6th grade education. He was a Mason as well, (I'm ninth generation), but he never thought he was smart enough to serve as Master himself. He died 2 months before my 3rd degree and when he was cremated my grandmother gave me his white apron. It was my honor and privilege to carry his apron to the East with me in memorial. He was, contrary to his own opinion, the smartest and most upright man I ever knew. I miss him very much.

Nice to see ya still think bout me "jimmy".
You know...that ain't my style at all.

But leave it to a guy like you to make a shit reference like that.

Nice "Apron".

My Grand Father was a 33 degree Mason. My Father in Law was a Shriner, and past potentate... and his wife was Daughters of the Nile.

LMAO!

I owe you an apology! I really couldn't help myself. I can't believe it took you this many days to find that little dig......you're slipping old man!

You should consider taking the degrees. It would give you some time away from all the crap on here.

I just want to say to you publicly, I don't give you that much shit because of your views. I have many close friends whom I do not agree with politically. I just don't like the way you make things personal and I don't like that you have stir shit on EVERY post.

Let's disagree.

Let's stop being disagreeable.

I'll start by quit jerking your chain and calling you "swampsuck".

Have a nice day!
