Retired Electrical Lineman here. It was a good living and a good career. Tell your Son Congratulations for his accomplishment and Congratulations to you for being a successful parent! Tell your Son to latch onto some old guy thats respected and try to learn from him while he's still there.My youngest Son. 18. Graduated from Electrical Lineman school. Helped him move to Victoria, TX. He starts this Monday with a local CoOp. Good kid. Despite how I raised him (tough). Has a good head on his shoulders. I sure as sh*t wish I knew that I wanted to do at 18 like this kid / young man. Motivational for me. He is the fourth of our 6 kids (married approaching 31 years). If you feel it, lift this Kid up in thoughts. He has been my hunting buddy since I had to carry him up the muddy hill as his boots were too heavy for him to walk. "Fast forward' several years - he is lending me a hand as my old body cannot make it up the same hill. Before I new it, I guess I had passed the baton so to speak to him. God Bless those that CAN and WILL bust their a$$ for others.
Wonder how long it took to get down there.
Yeah, I miss it too! Retired after nearly 35 years. Yes, its a good feeling when you're out on a dark country road and close a switch in and see lights come on across the field after working several hours in whatever kind of weather. I never wake up at night during a storm that I don't whisper a prayer for those still out in it.I retired after 36 years working for the COOP in that same area. My wife asked me if I miss it, I do miss the feeling of accomplishment after busting your ass all night and restoring the service closing in the feeder and seeing the lights come on across the country side.
