It nice to see a happy ending feel good story for a change. The Owl is lucky!
Damned Lucky !!!
Got to work one morning and there was no Power inside of the Store So We go check the Circuit Breakers and none are tripped but just so We can tell the Power Company “Yes” We checked them. They send out a Service Guy and as We come out the backdoor to wait for them.
To pass the time We’re looking up at the Pole, Lines & Transformers (3 Phase Power) and then We see the problem— Mr. Owl landed on one of the Lines BEFORE the Transformers and had landed on it AND also contacted the Ground Lead for the Pole.
The Lineman gets there and surveys the situation and says “Well that musta’ hurt for a second.” And He gets in the Bucket, goes up and takes Lineman’s Cutters and cuts off the one leg on the line and puts the Owl in the Bucket and the pulls the other leg off the wire, lowers the Bucket and hands Us the Owl and the loose leg. The ZOT !!! had blown the one leg off the Body and left it on the line.
The Lineman got new Fuse Links and We were back online.
We put the one blown off leg on top of the Breaker Box.
