:rofl :rofl

I know I was tethered Chad :rofl. That’s why I put the :lol at the end of that ladies comment lol.

Still, I did slip off the line at one point and it is scary at first because you forget that you are secured. I can’t imagine doing that half a mile in the air though.

This might be another ‘group’ in that industry. The one my coworker was talking about are the guys that check the actual lines and stuff I guess for some of the high tower wires, etc.

For that much pay…might as well just do what I do lol. Much safer. :lol
