A Will Knot........will not hold :p

I'd steer clear of jeans if at all possible, every pair that I've ever tried on didn't have any room in the legs or "man-land" if you catch my drift. I personally like Tyndale's canvas cargo pants,...

We had an International 4x4 with a 65' Hi-Ranger stick on it. I gotta say that truck went places. If you're going to be in snow or ice four wheel drive is a must. Personally, I'd take a 4x4 over a...

I know a guy that used to work for CW RAT. Yep, good ol' CW. It was his 5th day in the trade period, and they had him gloving 13.8kV BY HIMSELF. Best part is that the guy had so little knowledge of...

I worked with him a couple of times...He was a great guy to work with, fun, and wasn't scared to tell you how it is to your face....

I've been on the receiving end of many pranks and jokes. My foreman and journeyman love to mess with me. My lunch box is actually a "stunt box". Let me think now: It's been buried by a back hoe, run...

I hear ya there buddy.....a guy I work with is quite similar it sounds like. Just happy to have a paycheck. I heard a quote on here one time: "You're not building power lines, you're building...

These "safety" guys that are making these retarded laws and rules should be LINEMEN who know the job. Not some "book smart" piece of shit that got his experience and expertise by reading an effing...

I haven't been in the trade nearly as long as most of you on here. But from what I've seen lately with the newest guys, is that they are getting progressively worse at climbing and a lot more of them...

You left out the loose women, free food, and the end-of-storm bar bash. I'll agree with you though, storm is definitely nice. Throw in the door and watch the block come to life again.:)

Didn't hear anything about this accident until now, but I was working about 35 miles from this guy when this happened......small world. Wish him a speedy and full recovery.

I found an article online about wildland firefighters using DEET on their Nomex clothing and it reducing flame resistance.Sounds like you can use this stuff call Permethrin on your FR clothing, but...

Not looking good in 2150 either until fall. Word on the street is that PAR has a big job starting up sometime in the summer, suppose to clear the books....100 or more guys supposedly. But I doubt...

Now that's pretty clever......have to stash that one in the noggin for future use

I know this ain't been here long but jeez, I know you all ain't staying at the Marriot or the Hilton while you're on the road.....the best I stay at is a Super8, and even that can get a little...

So just out of curiosity, for all you construction hands and tramps, what's the worst "dive" motel you've stayed at? Don't be afraid to get graphic.:p

The worst I stayed at was 19 and some change...

I'd say that I have to agree

I keep my mask in the treasure chest/pleasure box (lunch box). We use the wax trick on compression sleeves a lot. If you don't have wax just wrap the sleeve in the bag it comes in. Saves you the...

I live about an hour from MJ headquarters, so as you can imagine there is plenty of info and gossip around my neck of the woods. I heard from a few of the guys I know at MJ that they are going to get...

I work for a contractor, the hall is stuck way down in the southern part of the jurisdiction (granted the greatest population of people is there). My local meets at various locations around the...

At least if your in the truck or on the side walk you got somewhat of a chance to escape. But shit, in a bucket? That's like shooting a dog that's tied out on a chain. Isn't even remotely close to a...

If there's one thing I've learned in this trade, it is not to take everything to heart. There's some people that say things and you just have to take it as a grain of salt. I work with plenty of...

I don't really know what to say about you....I mean you pretty much created an account on this forum just to reply to our brother from Michigan. On top of that your reply was pretty much nothing more...

I looked transferring from Movalley to Albat before. I was told that I would have to apply just like everybody else and go through the interview process all over again and wait my turn to get called,...

Most of my friends call me Chazz, the rest is the last four of my Social Security number. Believe me I've been made fun of for being called Chazz many a time....real first name is Chad.:rolleyes:
