Those alpha males risk their lives while beta pajama boys stay snug and warm in their onesees, sip hot chocolate and discuss white privilege and toxic masculinity with their gay boyfriend.
I am a lineman for the county.
And I drive the main road
your posts are always helpful, unselfish.
Lineman apprentice program? If so, isn’t that handled by the IBEW Local? If not, some sort of OJT program for ground operators?
on a cold, cold night
Lost me right there. I don’t do cold anymore since I had frostbite. Plus I’m not moving out of Texas.
That’s good money in rural Indiana. Or suburban Indy, New Albany, etc.

I used to go up on 2000 foot towers in the middle of the night to keep the taxi cabs tow trucks,powerline workers etc. communicating on their 2 way radios. It does make one feel good about restoring much needed services to the public. So many people never even realize what gets done behind the scenes. I worked on equipment on a 2000 foot tv tower. There would be twenty or more different companies going up the tower daily. There were about 200 radio systems up there. We even worked for the secret service and the FBI. Sometimes we had to wait 24hours to get a time to work on out stuff.
I knew a lineman in Muncie back in the 1970s who, after apparently witnessing some UFOs, developed a mental illness, then took off for Devil’s Tower, never to be seen again.
In all seriousness thought, these are great guys.
