the only problem at this poin in time is the onlything i had left to use for the new span to the riser pole was 3/0 ACSR. a bit big for my likeing because i cant said it like i can #4 or 1/0. the rest of the line is 1/0 acsr, so i am waiting for some more 1/0 which wont be long, and in the meantime i still have to figure out how to get the screw anchors i got in the ground by hand and guy the poles, so for right now the 3/0 is just slacked in lol.

right now i'm downloadin pics of the new arm i put up (which i actually had to make my own arm outta a 4x4 cuz i used all the actual arms up lol. so those pics will be up shortly. wish i had someone take pics of me transferrin the wires in gloves and sleeves tho lol. thatd make for an interesting shot.

You got your safety let out to far.

[Special ED]

Great pics Brian.. But yeah tighten that saftey up a little. Your back will thank ya for it.

Take your saftey around the base of the pole while standing on ground. Then take your elbow and place it against your belly button or (close as you can in my case) with your wrist straight and hand in a fist you should be able to pass your hand up and down between your body and the pole with out having to bend your wrist but being as close as you can with your arm in that position. Then you should be at about the right saftey length.

At times up on the pole you might have to let out your saftey for more reach and thats easy just remember to pull it back in when your done. Or you can do like I do sometimes and "Double D". But I think thats outlawed everywhere and I dont teach apes to do it. Kinda like I dont teach apes to turn all the way around in their belts.

Spec ed is right about the distance but you look like you were out that far to set the pork chop. Wish you could have come to Sudan for the summer. Would have been a great time. Perhaps next year if one of the other countries open up.
