Workplace "window"

[Oldskool 6,582]

Let's see your view from your workplace "window". I know some are driving truck,or tractor, work in shops/offices or outdoors. What is it that surrounds you during your work day?

[ebinmaine 63,201]

You asked for it...

Looks like you need to turn a little to the left, you don't want to run over it.

Near miss but I got by it okay...

Better than having to explain the blue goo stain to the boss....

[ebinmaine 63,201]

Well I guess since Mike was nice enough to ask in the first place I'll post a few actual "office" pics.

 

These two are for Trina because she works from home several days a week. This is our backyard.

 

 

 

These two are examples of the crane load charts I was studying a few weeks ago. 

 

 

 

And the rest are things I've seen at or to and from work...

Don't let @Pullstart see that next to last picture - He might be able to get figure how to get 40 or so complete tractors on it to take to the Big Show ....

My "Office" picture used to be stopped stuck in traffic on 95 either going to or coming from work - no more. Retirement kind of keeps me home around my10,000 square feet .... a 100-mile round trip commute - an hour and 5 minutes in the dark of morning - an hour 20 minutes at best coming home. - a white knuckle ride in the winter ....

The port-a-john reminds me of when they built 485 around Charlotte NC.  They had just opened it and had named it after a former governor.  With in the first week they had an accident with a port-a-john truck and got it properly

christened.

Apparently my membership has run out so no pic from me till later today.

Looks like there is an eagle's nest on top of the post in the back.

[WHX?? 46,809]

Correct... Osprey tho. School with the help of FD ladder truck and others tried to move it to a nesting platform further away from the foot ball field & track. But the birds gave them the bird and rebuilt it in the same spot.

Some of my past views when I was working, just a boring life now Thats me in the second pic on the hook ladder,  in the basket in the next to last pick and in the nearest bucket truck. I really miss it sometimes. Bob

That’s a good size transformer. What KV?  I’m going to guess 345 KV. 

[WHX?? 46,809]

Did I mention afraid of heights here Bob? I got horses in need when can I sign for the boring life?!?!? 

[oldlineman 1,450]

500 KV hi side to  4160 V low side, GSU = Generator step-up one of 4 we built at a NG peaking station.

[oldlineman 1,450]

I was never afraid of Heights I respect electricity greatly. It's not for everyone. I loved it though! Bob

Had the riggers set the glove there on the edge so I could hit the same spot everytime.
