A Sea Of Red

Does anybody know what on earth this thing is over by the driving range at TRBC? I'm having a hard time not laughing at the idea of some sort of high tension wire version of the lumberjack games.

They're doing it again?! Awesome!

That's pretty much exactly what it is.

remember posting about this a year or so ago- thought it was on the old Firehouse board but couldn't find it

stand by......

last time- March '06- it was called the "Gaff and go Lineman's Rodeo" (back in the days where we posted entire articles)

I think it's still called that. I couldnt remember it.

Oh yeah I remember that, They had pictures up on the liberty website... but i thought it was just some stupid liberty kid climbing a power pole

its evidently quite a big deal for the utility co guys

God bless 'em- no way I'm doing that.

Its not the height, either. Its the billion volts and the "sudden stop at the ground" thing

You need the sudden stop to re-start your heart. Just ask Mike Schmidt.

More for the wee man:

quote of the day: "there's only 3 things I'm afraid of: electricity, heights, and women- and I'm married, too!"

anyone see the "dummies" hanging from the poles? (like fake humans not idiots) there were a bunch just hanging there....it gave me a bad feeling like the holocaust or something...it was crazy to see
