This fall I will be in a powerline technician program at a college! Very excited

[@MikesSoftLemonade]

How is the program going?

[@josemoreno3334]

I did this a lot back in the 1980's and 90's when I was a telephone linesmen in the US Air Force.

[@johnkulpowich5260]

Yeah. But I still love it

[@jaymes7521]

Pulling cable in the rain sucks.

[@ahmedelmiskini1526]

Excellent work

[@markthomas9362]

What happened to testing the air?

[@roycropper420]

So, they religiously say "ALA" instead of "I GOT IT" WHY????????

[@ohwell1008]

It’s All Off, not ALA

All UP

Nice manhole hook, bunch of weaklings on this crew

[@illestofdemall13]

Just because they have that doesn't mean they aren't capable of pulling it off manually. It's called work smarter, not harder.

[@kpanek978]

You ever think it’s company safety policy to use a manhole hook? Prob not

[@Jason-kg3oc]

Why would you hurt your back taking it off by hand when there is a tool to do it smarter and easier? You have to take care of your body.

[@danyalahmed4295]

@@Jason-kg3oc promise you they never actually use that, way too big and takes too long to open up the hole

[@ohwell1008]

@@danyalahmed4295 you’re right, we don’t.
