Re: The Daily Grind
Must I show my hard work. This is what I do now in my old age.
I worked many years underground as a miner. I am a Mine Forman, mine electrician, and done most every other underground job. Did that until I became a full time minister at a Church. Now in my older and not so healthy years I help out a smaller Church in my County.
A few pictures... (I'm the young good looking one in the middle)!

Is that tree...burning?Crazynate wrote:I work for the local gas company here in SW Michigan. My crew responds to broken services, leaks, lots of house fires where our gas has ignited and lots of other emergencies relating to gas leaks. This picture is of my partner I was digging with the hoe. Lightning struck a tree and it went down through the roots and jumped on our copper wire that's by our service and it ignited. We were digging trying to find it so we could pinch it off.

Re: The Daily Grind
Thank you all for the appreciation of what I do. I will say that now a days I believe the police have it much more rough out on the streets than we do.

Re: The Daily Grind
Once again I found myself sitting at the kitchen table at 3:30am wolfing down a hurried breakfast with a hot cup o' joe wondering "Who in their right mind is up at this hour?" and then it dawned on me...nobody.
But it pays the bills, I guess.

What great memories you brought back Kirk! (NOT)
Done it too many times as I prepared to go underground in the coal mines! The only positive I found was that the traffic was not an issue at that hour.

Re: The Daily Grind
That's true. While driving in this morning there is a lighted sign over the tollway that displays safety info. Today the sign said "Texting while driving is illegal". I wondered aloud, "What about sleeping while driving...?"Carpdaddy wrote:What great memories you brought back Kirk! (NOT)
