Surrounded by trees weighted down by the snow, blue skies above, and down below Whitney Creek makes a turn. Not a bad place to be if you ask me. Though I do wish it was for fun instead of work but hey, I’ll take it either way. That’s just...

We had a tree fall through the Powerlines and broke it in a few places. It tore it down from 2 poles and fell across the creek.

Having a side-by-side with tracks makes getting around in the deep snow much easier. Not to mention it’s got a nice light bar on top for working and driving around at night.

It got dark on us really fast. We were hoping to have the spliced back together and up before night fell but... That’s didn’t quite happen. You just never know what kind of obstacles your gonna run into. Wire tangled in the blackberry bushes, getting the wire back across the creek, tree branches that won’t let the wire come up, then when you do get the wires up they are twisted. Trying to untangle wire at night is really fun. 😉 It seem like one little issue after another... It’s just part of the LineLife.

The video is a view from this pole only during the daylight hours. If you look close you can see me on the top of the pole on the left side. You can see my little white hard hat.

Made it home around 9pm and Mama-Splatts had my dinner in the oven keeping warm. I love that Women!!

Well I hope you enjoyed the view and another episode of...
