[TowerTalk] Rohn 25 Guying

[Patrick Greenlee]

The material a tree generates to cover a wound such as a limb pruned 
flush with the trunk is called a callus.  Ditto for the material that 
would grow over a lag bolt.

 From online encyclopedia ==> In botany, trunk (or bole) refers to the 
main wooden axis of a tree.


Currently in process of getting 2-8 inches of rain preparatory to 
Monday's ice storm.  Intermittent lightning for over 24 hours 
continues.  Tornado sirens went off in nearest town but saw nothing.  
Computer depiction of WX from NOAA shows us with no immediate life 
threatening WX beyond lightning.  Figures, I want to tilt a tower over 
and install a rotator preparatory to installing a new antenna and I want 
to trench in some more 4 inch PVC but my ride on trencher (looks like 
back hoe on its own wheels instead of tractor mounted) strikes me as a 
lightning magnet when the bucket is raised overhead.

Please excuse the "font dance" I don't know why T-Bird (my email client) 
is acting up.
