Re: telephone verses Catv


     You asked how do I do it?  Well it happened back in 1983.  I went to Crystal Beach, Texas to check on my mom & dad.  They just went thru  Hurricane Alicia. As I was driving down Hwy 87.  I noticed a crew of guy off to left dropping wire off the telephone poles[ WRECK OUT].
anyways there were 3 guys up on the pole and 3 guy on the ground with a Ford truck & trailer just buried in that ditch.  WELL THESE 3 GUYS ON THE POLE were fucked because they couldn't drop the line because of that truck stuck in the ditch.  I had a 1978 Plymouth Fury with the 440 police package.  They called me nuts when when I hooked their trunk rope up to that truck.  Yes the truck came out of the ditch. And by 3 pm I was up on them poles wrecking out Catv down hwy87.  TRUE STORY  I,ve been a lineman everysince
just an old lineman//grew up with a sawdust pumper in between my belt. chased a 1 ton for years run a T40-C(PRO)//I actually know how to operate it. never could figure out that sawdust pumper//he//he
