My day so far

It's good to get away from the desk and do some real work for a change...

uhg, I can feel the swaying from here! lol. Do they actually move much in light wind?
I am not usually afraid of heights, but I don't think I could do that!

That looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could climb one of those one time.

do you ever try to spit on your buddies ?

Oh hail no!! My genitalia gets vertigo just from the pictures.

Did you misspell that?

Looking at pics like that makes my head spin. I’m usually ok if I have solid footing but there is a limit to that.

At that height I wouldn't have to try. It would just naturally happen.

Nope, nope, nope.

Thank God I don't do that for a living! I would be broke 'cause NOPE! I am exceedingly glad that there are folks who enjoy that however! Good Luck and enjoy the view!

Nope. Miss me with that mess.

That would probably bring epic retaliation...

Now way Jose! I don’t do heights....

I've climbed to 1400' on the Shellmans Bluff tower near Savannah.
I actually prefer the tall ones.
It's super peaceful up that high.

Did yonget to wear a diaper? I know i would crap my pants beyond 20ft. Lol. No shame here.

I went up in a bucket truck to check out a parking lot light.

Once.

I get dizzy standing on my step ladder retrieving things from top shelves in my kitchen. NO WAY!!!

The older I get, the worse my fears become. On land I used to be okay but, my last climb up Stone Mtn., I froze and had to take the tram back down.

This will make some of us dizzy.

All I can say is it would be dark up there.

No way I'd climb like that to change a light bulb

Oh no, no no. You’re a better man then I. I could not do that job.

SOMEone has to change the beacon bulb!

I can do the 40' on my ham tower but it's not my favorite thing. Leaning back into the belt and letting go with both hands is special .

Dude in the video must have the thigh muscles of The Hulk

I just know for a fact I would get up there and immediately drop the 10mm socket.

This is how they do it.

Can you see your house from up there?

Uh, no.

I worked with a guy years ago that terminated the cables on the big dishes at Los Alamos. Screw that.

What size truck bed do you have to transport your Balls?

At 800' AGL or so, you lose all perspective of height & it all looks just 2D like a TV screen.

I'm actually freaked TF out by heights. Get me up in a plane & I'll get off that thing from 800' - 13,500' AGL all day long, but don't ask me to get up on my roof.

Those pictures actually made me queezy……………….

Can you wear a chute and take the quick way down when you are done?

If I had known about that job at 25 my life would have taken a very different path. That looks amazing!

That was amazing. I sure hope they never drop anything from up there!!

I had a cousin that lived near the towers close to Lincolnton. According to him they dropped a bulb. It landed a significant distance away in a parking lot. It was not well received.
