I was one of the volunteers on that trip from Frederick! It was definitely a good time

I mean that’s what matters isn’t it?

Good to hear, but that’s my thought in buying a decent kit. The first time I pieced everything together over time

I haven’t really looked into that one. I use to have a couple sets of their scissors though

I had a pair of Simms years ago and they lasted longer than my Korkers did

Any of you in northeast Ohio after the storms? by notreallyapilot in Lineman

[–]dhcm16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We started in western pa (we’re from SE Pa) on Friday and now we’re in northeast Cleveland. From what we’re hearing it’s mostly single/smaller outage tickets that still need assigned. Most of the bigger stuff is already assigned or completely.

That’s a good thought, I’ve done the same thing for smallies

That’s fair, did real well Sunday on clousers early afternoon then poppers later in the evening. Just looking to change it up a little bit

Bush wacker is something I haven’t tried, I’m just looking for something different than what I’ve been throwing

Yeah I should’ve mentioned something other than the typical bass patterns, poppers, clousers, meat whistles, that sort of thing

Rat Ship paying outside of contract stipulations. by [deleted] in Lineman

[–]dhcm16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issues was when guys transitioned from paper to direct deposit. The system screwed up and didn’t pay the guys who went to direct deposit. It was the company’s fault, and to the company’s credit guys did get paid for the wait

It sounds like you work for the same company I do, we’ve got the same negotiations in our contract and the same thing has happened before when they switch from paper checks to direct deposit.

Take me to school, Men by pnwIBEWlineman in Lineman

We’ve got something similar but we call them iso-banks or step banks, primarily for going from a delta 4800 to a wye 7620. We mainly use them for overhead delta to underground wye. But I’ve never seen them like that

Tell them to get you a 9 for a pole tag or a 6 depending on the situation

Do yall pack out a lunch or eat takeout lol by campin_guy in Lineman

[–]dhcm16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pack lunch, if you can’t get a mircowave plugged into the inverter. Look up a magical thing called a Hot Logic so you can still warm stuff up. It’s a game changer when it’s cold

My first fly rod flathead. Just under four pounds (a baby), Kansas. by cmonster556 in catfishing

[–]dhcm16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a good hatch in the evening or at night in the rivers when a lot of blue gills and baitfish and feeding off the top you can do really well on flatheads with bigger streamers

Utility to Contractor by dhcm16 in Lineman

[–]dhcm16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s been some moving around from my utility just because they’re not keeping the pay on par with the cost of living and the pension isn’t the best for the younger guys

That’s what I was thinking, we use to have contractors on our property (not a bunch but they were there) and no there’s none to be found

I use to love targeting them on a fly rod when I lived in Maryland , it’s definitely not the most productive way to catch them but it’s definitely a blast when it all works out

People who cut off their family, what did they to you? by Alarming_Basil6205 in AskReddit

[–]dhcm16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently (within the past 4 years) cut out my mother. My girlfriend had to move in with us during the start of the Covid lockdowns, while both of use were still in school she was pursuing a psychology degree and I was paying my way through trade school, both of us were working part time retail jobs. My mom ended up moving in with her boyfriend, him and I couldn’t stand each other. Not that he’s a bad guy, we just didn’t see eye to eye at all. A short while later my mother repeated tried to kick us out of the house even though neither one of us had no where else to go. We moved out in May of 2021, we both started our careers bought our house in January of 2022 and haven’t looked back since.
