That what you call "high-wire guy" was me. It was a fun job. Working outside being paid to 4-wheel up the side of mountains. Set poles, string wire, work energized high voltage electricity (4 and 12 thousand volts). The picture of me on the wire in the previous post, I was replacing insulators on a de-energized 230 thousand volt line. The height was the least of the risks and I would do it all over again.
The picture is of my apprentice class in 1965. I'm the guy standing on the top level.

It's something people can either do or they cannot. I suspect guys like you are in a small minority.Sorry for the mixup with you/Bobby, but I didn't want to scroll back several pages to verify.
I see programs on TV of these guys building skyscrapers and am continually amazed. I've been 135 MPH on a motorcycle (LONG time ago) but NO WAY am I ever doing anything like you did!

But the "Jaime" here spells his name differently, in a way I've never seen before.
There is no idiot out there named "Bruze" either!

Turbo: You are one of the people I was talking about previously that looks WAY different from what my mental image was.
A while back you had an avatar of an old comedian, I can't even remember who it was. I think he was overweight and in kind of a dopey pose. This was an example of mentally tying someone's looks to their avatar, for better or for worse.
Pick your avatars carefully, people! (and no, I don't look like the angry Woody Woodpecker from Thrush mufflers or whatever it was from yesteryear).

Bruze ...
Here is a little more recent photo. Not super recent, but a lot more recent than that photo with Al Gore I posted earlier in this thread.

Accurately reported, and confirmed on snopes.
I think the OP would have a better chance if he lobbied for people to at least fill in their town and state. Many questions asked have geographic-specific answers...we always have to ask those schmucks where they live, and it takes days for them to answer, if they do, at all.
