    That is good for seeing the picture. But I would still have to borrow Stinny 's glasses to read the words. :whistle:Lord, I apologize.

    If you look up Paul Harvey power company lineman it comes up. Can't remember how to post links. Still not real compooter savvy. :whistle: I can get the power to it though.

    THE LINEMAN
    What are their thoughts, these hardy souls tangled in knots on top of poles, sweating it out in a blend of blue, doing a job few would do? What are their thoughts, this gallant crew, who risk their lives the long day through, in summer heat or winter snow, taking orders from afar and below? What are their thoughts, these men of brawn, who joke and swear or hum a song, who know their distance well could be a rubber glove from eternity? What are their thoughts at the close of day, as they scramble down and put hooks away? Do they thank God for the heart skipped beat, to feel the earth beneath their feet? What are their thoughts as they head for home, longing once more to greet their own? Surely they must feel some delight, knowing they helped turn darkness into light.

    That's it thank you. I use my phone almost all the time I'm on here and did not think to copy and paste it.

    When you want to copy a link just go to the web page you want to show. Go up to the place where the web address is. http:// .............................. Put your cursor anywhere in there and right click once. This should highlight it. Then right click in it again and the menu pops down. Select copy. Then go into thread where you want to put it and paste. Done.

    So I took off today. Had to take littlest to ER last night. Was probably being over cautious. He managed to get the cover off the "contact switch" for the well pump. Depending on where he touched it was 120 or 240 volt contact. Not a lot but he's little and can't talk yet. No burns thankfully but would rather error on the caution side. They checked him out and monitored him a while. These boys of mine:hair:. A buddy said my boys are either tough or lucky.:rofl: :lol:

    Not missing much. Just riding in a van looking at all the different customer substations. Going to use a vacation day instead of getting an occurrence for a sick day though.

    What's the old saying moss doesn't grow on a rolling stone. Probably scared the crap outta him, but he went back towards it again. Screwed the cover down and taped it this time.
