Wine morning actually.
MrsWagon opened a bottle last night but didn't finish it. So it was my breakfast.

Oh, for sure there's gonna be some hearty beatin' tonight. High winds and rain sounds is perfect to muffle the screaming so the neighbors don't hear.
One neighbor boarded up his windows, so that's even more muffling.
Gonna be a Category 5 boozefight tonight!

We sub out the work to a 3rd party that drives around with a torque gun and a hex bit they drive into the wood poles...
depending on how hard it is to get them into the core of the pole, it determines who gets the upgrade. I thought about
climbing poles for a bit but I'm non Union and don't want to lose my seniority. Plus, those guys are in their 20's and don't
have families yet so they can capitalize on overtime on nights and weekends. They make GOOD money.
Anyway,
cliffs: dumb rockstar hardens poles then climbs them to put himself through college.

Subbing out to a 3rd party is like the cuck equivalent for power companies.

Remember that time the was that polish guy from Deadmonton and he was a giant flapping pussy and really wanted help, but when we tried to harden him up he just cried and ran away?
That pole will never get hard.

From the local weather nerds, regarding the local power infrastructure:
Hehe, harden the system.
95% wood. :cul0:

They know who the experts are. For sure he got the consult. Probably did it for free too.
