I like jibs and winches and appreciate how much easier that they can make our work, but a lineman would be better off to be brung up working out of a personel carrier bucket with no jib and no winch...

Unbelieveable..........................

10-4, when you say well trained and gloving off the pole it makes me curious, do you check/test your rubber gloves prior to working each pole? After all you only have 1 layer of protection which is...

You are probably right about that :D you'll see them sooner or later and you will probably be like we were at first, a little skeptical, but after you install one you'll like it.

You say you will learn to work 7.2 off your hooks, are you talking about a Baker board?

We call them dog bones, they make a cushion clamp that does not require armor rods, have you seen that style?

I will say a prayer for this man's family and his co-worker's.

I was trained by a few men who had that same work ethic as you, I used to have to either hide their hooks or tape them together with a roll of black tape so I could get my tools and make it to the...

Tear's me up, he was one of my favorites.

Glad to hear you had a great day, I hope you have many more, happy birthday. Charlie.

MKL4499, I got to thinking after looking at your photo and remembered that the upper boom latch on the Altec HL125 that we have is mounted on the drivers side of the boom, so it is clearly visible...

We've got an Altec HL125 with that type of upper boom latching system, but I don't know of any problems with it but I will pass this info on to the rest of the crew. Glad you made a recovery.

Out of both britches legs, never have heard it quite like you put it though Poot.:D

Does anyone know of a documented case where a lineman was injured or killed with a standard set of grounds installed ( Neutral to Primary on ditribution/ Static to Phase on transmission ) on both...

Last sentence.:D

I don't know that there is a definative answer, some company's ground the high side while others float and only ground the case or the tanks, the cap bank will work either way, I have always heard...

Yeah one pot can go bad and it will still keep working like a 2 pot bank, I've seen a few small towns that built their closed delta's that way, never understood why, I suppose they didn't know any...

All right Swamp here it is, I thought I had a picture of one of them.

I've not seen one work loose either, although I have seen the results of one for larger wire being installed on smaller wire, it worked for a while.:D

10-4 looked like a death trap to me, thanks' for telling me what they call it, you learn something new every day.

When I was in NJ I saw span guys wrapped on one side of a Johnny ball and 4 kv primary on the other side, thought maybe it was a fluke but I got to looking around and they were everywhere like that,...

I've never pulled wire without a traveling ground, but it's been rare for us to ever pull wire in the wide open where there was little chance for induced voltage.

You can rest assured that Americans are not the only ones with a greed for cash and as I said "Americans" can't be blamed for everything that goes on around the globe, our government has probably...

So the problems in their legal system are instigated by "Americans" and in the UK the problems in the legal system have all been created by "Americans"? That is a bunch of horsecrap.

I don't even know that this happened in America, so maybe it's somebody else's legal system.
