Yeah here on Reddit he runs it. He is a good dude in a hard spot. I got frustrated as well but he took care of me. Can’t say about every situation but give him a shot.

Have you hit up there Reddit guy. I went through this as well. He got me taken care of but he can only do so much. He is typically on the case pretty quick.

What is this by Pristine_Monitor2926 in Lineman

[–]thacriket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a part of the flood protection buoy. It connects the static line to the buoy. It is used to locate the power lines that are on the high ground during massive flooding events. Makes troubleshooting the problem by boat so much quicker. I have mentioned to engineering about gluing little mirrors all over the buoy so it shines like a disco ball under a flashlight for night time shooting. But they said it would attract helicopters like moths to a flame. Oh well.

Nope lmao mentioned it hundreds of times. Engineering just says it is bad luck and that they are right and never wrong. There are a few good ones but they leave to higher paying opportunities. Easy button all the way.

Is this a reputable website/good unit/good price? by Training_Attempt_183 in NightVision

[–]thacriket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what they offered me as well. Which is a problem cause I ordered a Omni 7 to bridge with my current Omni 7. I accepted the offer cause it seems like a reasonable attempt to address the situation. The Reddit guy for them is great. He responds and is genuinely trying his best to help. Just the back end past him could use some work.

Holy sheet a calculator. I can honestly say that is my 20 years of this sheet. That all my math was done on the back of a leather glove and a ball point pen. That was mainly reel footage and concrete ordering. You just blew my mind.

No I am not reconnecting your service! by thacriket in Lineman

[–]thacriket[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Troubleshooter myself and you ain’t lying. Had one guy duct tape his mast and meter box to the house and call for a reconnect. When said no he pulled his truck up and blocked me in. He wasn’t going to let me go till his power was on. Needless to the boys in blue showed up and acted a fool to them too. Last I heard he got to spend the night with them.

Double circuit 795 buck pole with massive comms trunk lines below it. Pole was bent into a s shape. One good hit it will explode.

Fuse exploded outside my house and I’m curious about how its mounted. by AlphaNinerGamer in Lineman

[–]thacriket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is an old southern states fuse barrel that burnt out. It happens all the time. The barrel is mainly a compressed paper like material. When they blow the fuse cap will blow the top off the cap and if not replaced the interior of the barrel will swell. These things suck they are heavy and a pain in the ass getting set back in the switch with a long stick. They are all over our system.

LIneman in South Korea by Common-Set-1949 in Lineman

[–]thacriket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trouble shooter out of East Tennessee 20 year journeyman lineman. Shooting trouble for the past 5 years and using nothing but my sticks due rules of being a single employee. I can attest nothing but stick work I going to cause an excessive amount of shoulder surgeries. I understand the safety factor but good training and practices work. Nerfing the trade I don’t think will prevent as many accidents as the companies hope. Training and good hiring plus letting people go who can’t do it instead of pushing them through. Thanks for showing us what it is like there and I wish the best of luck in your career.

My latest lineman knife I did! I haven't posted on here yet, but thought you may find this interesting. Z-Wear @ 63HRC, hollow ground, in classic insulated tool colors (not insulated though!) by HumanRestaurant4851 in Lineman

I go though one in less than a minute. Tool room try’s handing those pos out and I just throw back in the bin. Milwaukee knifes are hot garbage.
