Cooler Days

This is the November sky I'm used to seeing here in Cleveland. The two ore bridges tower over the mountains of taconite. Rising up in the back is C-6 Blast Furnace. Yeah, it's cold.

Here, Johnny-O is in the spot I was in, when I took the pictures of Peeps and Hardy Har Har in the JLG lift. It's a small crawlspace between the main gear room below, and the motor deck above. You can see the motor feed conduits coming out of their respective pull boxes on either side of the picture. Towards the bottom are the new conduits I installed that hold the cables from the hot-rail pick-ups and go to the main switchgear.
A view from the basket of the JLG. The river isn't too far away. I had to swing out over the river while turning the rig around. It was a bit weird, thinking how cold the water would be if the rig tipped over. Sometimes, my imagination takes over....

Ahh, the pullbox. Whenever construction workers work in a hard to get to area, we feel the need to write our names there. I guess it's to let other workers know just how cool we are. Or maybe it just makes us feel cool. I don't know, but my name is all over Cleveland! All of us have nicknames too...like Jimmy 1450.

We also enjoy joking around! I'm the King of the Wooooorrrrlllllldd!

As the sun sets, the moon rises. Another day comes to an end at Mittal Steel, Cleveland Works.
