Default Hello from SC!! Line worker training

Well for the last 5 weeks ive been stuck here in SC (30 min south of charlotte) at a Tech College for Line worker training.

hoping once i get back i can find a job on a line crew and start climbing

were climbing 40' poles hanging cross arms and transformers, def an adrenaline rush

hope all is well in the north

At least you are in a nice area. I have a bunch of friends that live on Lake Wiley down there and that whole area is really nice. Hopefully you have been going downtown Charlotte to the new club area. Dale Jr's bar is there and bunch of other cool spots to party. The women are nice to look at there too.

i'd have guessed it was your car, but it had nitrous and was going 9.80s.

I hear those Carolina/Georgia girls can be cute though.

so will you be getting a job with Jersey Central or a contractor? I did that line of work for a few years until i got into the engineering aspects of the utility company. Its a good honest living and you can make a **** ton of money. good luck and be careful!
