They often use helicopters for live line work now, especially in hard-to-get places like the mountainous regions, where they can’t get trucks and equipment into the area easily. It’s pretty cool in a way, but very precise work. The lineman has to use a cable to “latch on” to the individual phase conductor and become as one with it, so to speak. Can’t touch or even get close to a tower (grounded) or another conductor because he’ll be fried instantly.
They’re very cognizant of weather and wind conditions when they do that type of line work, obviously. Fortunately, transmission line towers and steel poles are relatively low maintenance, outside of storms or the errant, unhappy hunter that takes his frustrations out on the insulators when Bambi doesn’t show up.
Thanks. Trying to catch up since mid day Sunday would take me until tomorrow. I gave up already.
There was a meme saying that Mayor diBlasios real name is Warren Wilhelm Jr. and he was a youthful fan of the Sandinistas and a Communist back then.

I don’t know about the other stuff, but his birth name was Warren Wilehm Jr. Not cool and ethnic enough so he changed it to his mother’s maiden name or something.
I think the most puzzling thing for me is whether the Floyd stuff was staged ... he and perp officer knew each other, they both worked at the same bar, both appear to be actors. There is a lot of funny stuff from the scene meaning inexplicable. My gut tells me it’s mkultra psyop kinda thing. I posted yesterday, there is reportedly some case from France that may mirror this exactly... if/as so then it’s a copycat ff. TBD + WWG1WGA :)
They need to start calling DeBlasio “Wilhelm Klink” in honor of the hapless German Colonel of Stalag 13 on “Hogan’s Heroes”.
#1613 what time in on the Q watch? :) This afternoon would be a good time for a blackout...
WOW, that post is still up, evidently OK with twitter?
Thanks! From what I’ve been able to glean before net going out, and a few snips today, the entire Floyd stuff stinks. Not right, not as presented. And VERY conveniently timed....
That’s why I’ve been saying, they did everything “by the book” except for the initial thing that started the ball rolling.
However, I do not believe they did everything “by the book” that just meant try to make it LOOK like they did it “by the book”.
orry, will not ever go to Chicago again. Mt. Rushmore should be the rally point.

St. Louis would be good too. but OK have fun at Mt. Rushmore.
I think its beyond time for the President to use his Emergency Powers to shut the mouths of these lying, stinking, perverted, perverse anti-American, foreign propaganda traitors once and for all. I can’t take it any more. The military is the only way.
First time I can recall FR not having a live thread.
I noticed that too. It seems Covid19 and various riots has deflected peoples attention. By design?

Seriously though, I think the Barrett is present in an anti-vehicle capacity rather than an anti-personnel role.

That would be great, since George Carlin has passed.
Nobody could do better at being “fed up”, (like Sean, in that respect), but for George’s XXX language. Oopsie.
For now.
That doesn’t look like a Barrett to me. The mag looks too short. Seems like a .338 Lapua, which is very popular with mil snipers.
