Not to get too deep,but almost bit the big one.

Working on a new house with my son-in-law,putting up trusses with a crane.He was hooking them up,and I was useing a strap to guide them to the crew on the roof.Crane operator zigged when he should of zagged about 4 hours into it,and hit the power line.
Happened so quick,I'm not sure what happened,the flash blinded me for a few seconds...all I felt was a tingle and a shockwave.The crew told us later the lines were bouncing around for a while...found out later it was a 4,200 line.

EMS and the elec. workers told us it was a miracle any of us survived.No injuries,but 10-30 minutes later,the 3 of us(me,son,crane operator)were shaking pretty bad as we relized how close it was...things like this result in fatalities more often than not.

I guess it takes things like this to remind you how to enjoy each day you have,and not be stuck in a rut.

Stayed in bed all day Sunday and watched football,seeing all the snow,while I turn on the ac because it was 87 down here..don't miss that mess at all!
