20 MILES EAST, 30 miles hot 69 converting to 161kva, with hot under build. PAR, with all new equipment $38 PLUS AND SUB. All overtime plus. Friends Working 25 miles north, pole change out 500 poles plus TIME JOB. Talk with the hands daily from 1245 and 47, dumb asses making boo coo money, and not saving a dime for rainy days. 1245 do you know retired SCE lineman Bruce Thompson? After my second retirement as Kansas Safety Director, messed around teaching small REA companies CPR, basic first aid and A-fib. Then this year was a bad year at poker table, with no loses to deduct, so tax time will kill me on $21 K in winnings.
But for Swampy, he can't forget, what he never knew, and him saying Danny Brown was a few brick shy. Well Danny was was of the sharpest nonunion/union lineman on this board........
1245, didn't I meet you at the International Rodeo, in 2008 while you were still an apprentice? Might have you confused with another 1245 hand.
Why did the first electrical workers feel the need to Unionize? To give you something to rail against? No. Because there was a 50% mortality rate in the business. Safety! IT IS STILL TRUE TODAY!

Yep, go ahead and build it, then come back when someone can be inside checking as you throw it in! Preferably an employee of that facility so they can sign off on it. ALWAYS make sure THEY say it's all good in the hood before leaving, even if you're putting something back together exactly the same way it was. I even right names down! You aren't pinning that 5000$ motor that's been spinning backwards for 8 hrs. then blew up, on me Foo!
