My first cable tv job was wreak-out in Denver in the early ninties. 100 poles a day, two man crew. It was hard core, but we were trained by hard core lineman like you. So, we just did it and that was that. Seems to me nobody wants to work for their money anymore. I got a nice AP-45 nowadays, so I ride the bucket most days. I've earned it. Got lineman that I trained to be just as hard core to do the everyday climbing. But when I have to climb they try to keep up. Ugly's right we are a special breed. This work just ain't for everyone.
