[QUOTE="curtis, post: 811966, member: 3068"] Its not that bad Jed, i did it over 30 years, you really learn to laugh and have fun . One time we were working a ice storm in Mississippi and at 2 am we throw ed a co-worker in the swimming pool at the motel :lol: :lol: . We were parking the trucks at 11pm (or we tried to get in by then) and started the engines back up at 3am the next morning. It was a very exciting life, never a dull moment. The ice storm of 1966 it seemed liked we worked forever and accomplished very little. We just didn't have the equipment back then that you have today. At daylight one morning at Sudan i was in the top of a 65 foot pole splicing a 3 phase circuit back together when a man pulled up an said , i don't know how much money your making but its not enough. When i told him 75 cents an hour he just shook his head and left. :lol: :lol: I would really like to get my double bucket truck and my old crew back and go get some lights ON. I pray that all the men that are working the storms make it home safe. Many through the years did not. An GOD said, let there be light, and created the electrical lineman. [/QUOTE]
