    First time I was there today told him if he wants me to be his guy he has to lay out a lot of money for me to make this possible.
    I told him don't call me if he doesn't want to make everything right. Cause I'm no shoe maker so leaving things like this is not my style.

    my days of "ah, I can get to it, just be a second." are over. the older you get the more your mind will change too.

    that one definitely required fall protection.

    I used to be willing to do stupid things like that, until I broke my back. you tend to look at things differently after a life, and habit, changing event.

    compression fracture, moving cooling tower motors while working for an idiot of a supervisor.
    I look at every compressor replacement much differently now. Just be careful.

    Moral of story is don't let anybody force you into doing somrthing you're not comfortable with. You can always find another job.

    No way I would have worked on that without a harness and lanyard secured properly. That's bad craziness.

    I sometimes work at Pittsburgh Airport with one of my instructors and it looks a lot like this. Go up in a boom lift about 5 stories onto a platform about that size. Luckily I'm small enough to fit inside the furnace so I can move around easily. But there we have to wear harnesses.
