Cheerful Curmudgeon

A complete lack of ideas and the power to express them.

What a Job!

May 11, 2007 Art Zemon

You’ve got to see this to believe it. And even then, you might not believe it.

glumbert.com – High Power Job

I was dubious until another member of a forum where this video appeared wrote,

My neighbor works for Santee Electric in the transmission line area and he does this. He is 60 year old and still rides up in the heli and walks the lines. He says he would much rather walk the line than ride on the copter. He gets motion sick while riding.

I am also a certified tower climber and I had to put an antenna on a billboard off I95 once and Steve helped me, well I needed to run back to the shop and get a different mount, he was already up the 300 + feet on the billboard. When I got back I could not find him, I ended up climbing up to the top and found him sound asleep on a 4in I-beam. I guess it is all what you get used to.

Sheesh!

Physics, Technology
