[TowerTalk] Raising Towers

[Patrick Greenlee]

Right on, Chuck.  I just turned 70 and some folks (including some doctors) 
tell me to slow down and quit running around at Mach 2 with my hair on fire 
like a teenager.  I'm not like the teenagers I see. Hired some and out work 
them,   Too lazy these days.  I will recommend a climbing harness.  I have 
only used the belt so far but...   I am designing my three tower installs 
(one is up and others are a brewing) to eliminate all tower climbing. 
Extension ladders and painter's ladders may be used but why climb a tower if 
I don't have to.

At 82, I still drive ATVs and UTVs, off road, at racing speeds..  Few
can keep up.  I insure that all the lug nuts are tight.  I also still
climb towers, not 200' ones, with a single waist belt.

I also grew up on a family cattle ranch, and as a teenager, was
expected to rope and bring down wild cows, to doctor their infected
wounds, by myself out in the open range.

Until you have walked in their moccasins - - - - .   Unless you have
had many "hands on" experiences, stay with your books and OSHA
regulations, and keep those rules and postulations to yourself.

Chuck,  W7CS
