Logging Truck Height

[Gologit]

I saw electricians on the boat do some deliciously stupid stuff. Ever hear of a Megger? It's an ohmmeter made for measuring HUGE resistances, like the kind in industrial insulators. Millions of ohms. What it is is a little jack-in-the-box looking thing with two wires coming out one side, a crank on the other, and a meter movement in the middle. Used properly, you clip the probes at some distance from each other, turn the handle, and read the meter to measure the resistance.

Used improperly, you clip the electrodes to two rivets on a bare steel wall. One guy holds the megger while the other puts his hands against the wall. The first turns the crank, and the second holds on for dear life as he gets zapped with several thousand volts (at a tiny current, true, but still). Then they trade places. Lather, rinse, repeat until the shift is over or somebody thinks up something even dumber to do to pass the time.

Did they walk around afterward humming the "Pop Goes The Weasel" nursery rhyme?

That would take both an attention span and a sense of humor.

Geeze. I've been out almost a decade and I'm still ragging on 'trons. Ah, well, I bet they're all still #####ing about us twidgets, too.

After having read through this thread I thought Oldtimer handled it quite well:hmm3grin2orange:.

I have a Mack 500 with a serco 8000 and to the back of the seat is 13'4'' weve caught a few lines I usualy make my groundy get on back and push em up with a stick if in doubt .a big load of logs and my loader can sit over 14'

Well, the west coast brain trust will have you understand that you are an attempted murderer!
You are stupid, and you are to be culled from the herd. Didn't you know that cable lines kill 4,456 Americans every single day in America? Second only to the Vietnam war in deaths caused by stupidity in America since records were first started in 1940. True story!

Your idiocy continues. To the log trucker, here in Wa the legal height is 13'6" which is why most of our dedicated log trucks set the stacks at that height so they don't load above them. Since our state is always looking for additional revenue tickets are always a good source.

Chill, dogg. We're just lookin' out for safety. If I'd been the one putting my foot in my mouth, I'd get the same treatment. It's how we keep each other honest.

No Oldtimer, you're the only one we called stupid.
I'll give you the same advice you gave me. There's no law that say's you have to open this thread.
Now let's see if you are as gracious as I was, or if you'll keep stirring? :hmm3grin2orange:

Your wrong Andy I gave you that advice.

No mingo, you were actually pretty civil in our exchange. Which is why I didn't spend time there anymore when you said it.
This is a copy/paste of Oldtimers post, #122 I believe, or there abouts.

Oh no Mingo, clearly you are a moron who can't run a saw and just by touching the thing causes it to not run right. The forum brain trust has declared this a thread be euthanized because they are tired of hearing it. It wouldn't be a problem, but federal law requires them to open this thread and read it every time there's a new post.

You seem to be a pretty good guy, Oldtimer on the other hand dosen't.

I'm widely detested. My willingness to say what I think disturbs people.

Only when you're wrong, Sparky.

Hahaha. Now that's something to write home about.
Don't think more highly of yourself than you should, bud. You're just another dog turd in the cantalope patch.
