Agent Foster Grant

I remember, back in the '70's, when Foster Grants
were all the rage. Nick's grandpappy owns a museum
in Iowa. He stole these out of a 1970's fasion display.
I like to call him "Agent Foster Grant".

Dan is Little Johnny

Raised in a one-room shack in the woods,
Dan still hasn't grasped the concept
of indoor plumbing.

I didn't have the heart to tell Ollie what the
brown stain REALLY was.

Irrational Rule vs. Practical Solution

What's the rule on acceptable lightning rods?
Is there a rule, other than it has to be the
"highest appurtenence" on a tower?
All I know is we had a copper rod used
for grounding and made it the
"highest appurtenence" on this tower.
If the lightning doesn't like it, I don't
think it should be our problem.
That's Mark (left) and Justin by the way.

New Star Wars Weatherproofing Tool

Here, Brandon demonstrates our new plasma
weatherproofing warmer, which makes
weatherproofing much easier on cold days.
The manufacturer ensured us that the
blue radiation emitted from the unit is
not at all harmful to our health.

Jackin' Around

I have a pretty good zoom on my camera.
Here's a shot of Ollie working (left), and
Dan (right) NOT working.
Dan, you're fired.

THE BEARDASH

CAN YOU TELL WHERE THE GOATEE STARTS
AND THE MUSTACHE ENDS?

Yes, Ted DOES work in the field

Just to reiterate this fact: Managers WILL and
sometimes DO work in the field. End of discussion.

Fog-Enveloped Guy Tower

I just think this looks cool.

A Job Well Done

Justin celebrates another job well-done.
This was how he felt after moving a microwave
panel left, right, left, right, left, right...then realizing
they guys installed it wrong.
After making things right, he resumed the left, right,
up, down, left, right, up, down again. Then we
realized we were working with an anal-
retentive tech who was concerned with
1/100 of a volt. We're happy when we appeal
to reality and reality wins.
