Talk about Getting 'R Done:  Power restored to all but 1.7 million of the 6.9 million that lost service in Florida.

Line crews have been busting some butt, congrats to them!

Morning gents.  Nice evening of eating, drinking, and smoking with customer BOTL yesterday.   One to many G&T's, though.
HR approve that party?

Morning GinBean!
That fk'er can shove the CC receipts up his arse.
Sounds like your blood is still about 70 proof, sheesh!
Yea, we'll see how big his talk is when he gets called into HR to explain.

Florida men caught with stolen power pole strapped to SUV ???


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Sheriff’s officials in Jacksonville say two men are accused of trying to steal a $2,500 utility pole days after Hurricane Irma caused severe flooding there.

Jacksonville sheriff’s officials say 42-year-old Blake Lee Waller and 46-year-old Victor Walter Apeler were arrested on grand theft charges Wednesday after someone reported seeing them load the pole onto a sports utility vehicle.

A police report says an officer noticed a light pole missing from an area on top of a bridge and then spotted a vehicle driving with the pole on top.

He stopped the vehicle and arrested the men.
What could they possibly want with that?  Nice to see they were concerned about safety and tied a flag on to the end of it.

Had that same thought and have to believe they planned in selling it, but who really knows maybe they could trade it for meth.

Ten years ago: In his Saturday radio address, President George W. Bush said while "formidable challenges" remained in Iraq, the United States would start shifting more troops into support roles in addition to troop withdrawals announced earlier. Several thousand protesters marched from the White House to the Capitol to demand an end to the Iraq war. Sarah Thomas became the first female official to work a game in the Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly I-A, serving as the line judge in the Jacksonville State-Memphis game (which Memphis won, 35-14). Actress-comedian Brett Somers died in Westport, Connecticut, at age 83.

Five years ago: Four days after the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula called for more attacks on U.S. embassies. The State Department ordered non-essential government personnel and family members to leave its embassies in Sudan and Tunisia and warned U.S. citizens against traveling to the two countries. The National Hockey League locked out its players at 11:59 p.m. EDT; it was the league's fourth shutdown in a decade and one that would cost the league nearly half its season.

One year ago: A report issued by the Republican-led House intelligence committee condemned Edward Snowden, saying the National Security Agency leaker was not a whistleblower and that the vast majority of the documents he stole were defense secrets that had nothing to do with privacy; Snowden's attorney blasted the report, saying it was an attempt to discredit a "genuine American hero." Arizona's first female governor, Democrat Rose Mofford, died in Phoenix at age 94.
Also one year ago today, Mayor Barry moved on to the big CigarFest in the sky.
Wow, that was a year ago already? I actually have a browser tab opened to his obituary. Guess it's been open for a year. Sheesh. Good morning, LTG.
Doesn't your computer ever restart? Sheesh!
Browser on my phone and all the tabs open up again even after restart.
Better call an IT expert.
Not necessary. I know how to close a browser tab, I just choose not to.

And it doesn't cost to keep on replacing and repairing these lines?

Exactly.  Maybe not every line, but prioritize trunk and main feeder lines and get them under.
