She Ain't Even Been to Lineman School

We had a bit of a storm awhile back and it broke an old home made lectric pole supplying Juice to the lower barn. Snapped it right off and left the lectric wires a laying in the field.
I ain't supposed to Climb, but I know someone who can climb. Maybe I need to buy a ladder for her or maybe a pair of shoes.....
And Larry D. Scott, I am buying her a bucket of Luminum Paint for that old barn roof.





As it turned out....The JUICE was OFF. I Thought it was, but I wasn't sure till the cutters bit the wire.

Holy Sheeittt! You weren't sure the power was off?!? That lady has a big set of BALLS! LOL
Lol

As George would say, you ain't right!
You are a very fortunate man to have someone like that.
JR you don't know how lucky you are to have a partner like that !!! Mike

+1

Kermit, please DO NOT let Tucker stumble across this. It would, no doubt, give him nightmares for quite a while. :eek:
JR, iffin ya wanted to do the right thang,
you would get Judy a nice bucket truck for
Christmas. LDS
omg.......
that woman is a credit to her gender !
Just to think, a 6ft step ladder scares me.

I know I am expected to make a witty comment here but I got nothin'.
Can't beat them Kentucky wimmen.....or could try... at your peril.

Best.
Jr, that woman is truly a credit to her gender. Not only that, but respectfully commenting she has some fine looking legs. :cool:

Yep, Kate Upton is nice to look at, but Judy Brown leaves her flat on the ground. :D
Not only can she do this stuff...
She can cook with the best of'em...

I can't buhLEEVE you let her climb up like that! Of course this coming from the guy that fell off the roof last month. :D
That is an accident waiting to happen.
I can't believe you let her climb up there on that sort of setup without at least using a ladder for a starter and THEN not pulling fuses at the switchboard/meter board 1st.:eek:

That is 1 way to get somebody killed especially on a setup like that. If she got belted and electricity doesn't let go when it belts you if she survives the hit the fall from the top of the ladder to the ground has a lot of serious consequences.

Sorry for the rant but I work in the electricity industry here in Australia and that would get somebody fined at the least if it were seen by the authorities here.
Like a gun you treat any power line as alive till proven otherwise even low voltage electricity(240V in Australia) can kill you if it grabs you.

That is really testing Darwin's Theory of Evolution....... sorry mate but that is just suicidal under the guise of helping out and at the worst she can end up with a pine overcoat just because she's doing a good deed.

We're not on this Earth for a long time but bugger me there's no need to try and shorten that time up especially with somebody you hold near and dear.

Someone was bound to say it. I just hope someone was listening.
Guys, neither JR or Miss Judy are dummies. Bet that everything was checked out beforehand.
Now for the climbing? She has legendary abilities. Would I be on the top step? Probably not even two steps down after this little side trip down broken hip lane. Too many consequences awaiteth that are very, very time consuming, not to mention the comfort factor being zeroed out.
Tom is right

They are neither one dummies. If you notice the pictures the wire that she is cutting is a bare wire that she is holding on to before the cut. They knew very well that all was well. Except the precarious bit of climbing on the stool on the cab of the tractor. Like Tom said she is well known for her climbing skills. I am pretty sure she knew exactly what she was doing.
