The crew had set up the trucks and trailer and were having a BBQ burger lunch complete with a table top BBQ before going back to work, in honor of an employee who retired that day. Nice place for a picnic and a beautiful day. I declined an offered burger since I already had lunch at my house. They asked what I wanted off the pole (knowing me well enough to guess there was something I wanted ;) I told them that I wanted the old MSP spool rack, a crossarm and the downguy strain insulator with the odd U-bolt clamps. I also told them that I wanted to see just how they pull that pole out situated way down off the top of the hill like that!
