COLD DARK ROOM

Thank you, Sabine, a much fairer way of getting the numbers up.
Though nearly as irritating.

A funny way to get the numbers up, me thinks. I like those quotes. They are often naughty and sometimes a little bit true.

I hope your power can be restored quickly. I am full of admiration for the guys who work the power lines. It is a very difficult job often in remote locations

Have you seen this?

Have you seen this?

Yep. It's actually really safe. I've worked on one of those helicopters.

I should say worked as in maintenance and not flying or on the power lines. It was at bell helicopter when the class went.

I don't do heights. Even in safe helicopters. They're braver than I am

Good morning, Yvonne!
My potato run is postponed as it has been pouring with rain all day.
So lettuce tonight.

A complete rainy day in Morocco ? That is seldom, is it ?

You guys wanna' have a prize for the 100,000th post in this thread? I'm willing if you are. But there are some rules to adhere to. No one word posts. No emoji only posts. It has to be completely done normally from this point forward - that is, if you want to have a prize.

That is a fair offer.

I think this might generate a few posts

Watch as brazen mankini-wearing man strips down for dip in frozen Paisley fountain - Daily Record

It ... uh ... features a CDR roomie. You may or may not be able to understand his accent and I assure you he isn’t starkers!

Oh My God !!!! John ! He is the craziest man of the CDR and Paisly !!!!!

He is checking for cracks and bad places in the wire insulation. It's a job that will be gone within 5 years here in the US though. Drones can do the job faster, cheaper, and see problems and a human can not.

Or aged Adam.
A couple of the youngsters were joking about my age today on Fossil Forum. And a guy at least 10 years older than me as well!
They made this :

Thank you for explaining this dangerous work. I would die in that high !

Yes, but i guess we get two or three a year.

Those are bare wires - no insulation. The voltage is too high for insulation to be practical, or the air is the insulation.

It's inspection and repair. Towards the end you can see him get to the pole where the supports and splices are.

796 and counting!

Happy Monday, Cameron.
