those black hornets, we were doing some stran in Fla, a friend of mine was up in the bucket when I heard this screaming, and not just your everyday screaming,this was I'm dieing screaming I ran towards the truck and looked up and donny was flopping around like a fish and i thought he was in power, the drivers side door was open, and like I said I thought he was getting fryed so I dove into the truck put it in gear and pulled out to the middle of the road, stopped it jumped out and headed for the controls, he was in the bucket crouched down holding his ribs well when I got him down it turned out that he had pissed off a nest of those black bastards and they nearly DID kill him,I came back the next day with a couple cans of nukem,shot them from the ground, I used to see those ground hornets in Tx,I see one flying by holding on to one of those big ole locast, never been stung by one but here it hurts like hell,

When I started out installing, I got chased down from an attic full of honey bees. I about s__t when my flashlight hit the nest. It was about 6 feet across. No one questioned it later though. This happened about a week after I had a reschedule because the fire dept was there extinguishing a fire in the house when I arrived. I guess they were getting used to it by then. I ended up doing the prewire when they rebuilt that house, and the install after that. The truth always rivals fiction. Also had an apartment complex I had worked in a week before get creamed by a tornado. You have to be carefull so as to fill in the gaps between when you are fortunate.

No one should ever work for Diversified Cable,All they do is get rich from their employees by over charging for motel rooms and such, also they never pay their people on time and sometimes not at all. And Rob Sumner is the worst, he just tells you what you want to hear then conveniently doesn't remember telling you the next day. So many promises that never happen, like working in a town that never goes through, not even a phone call. Now there are so many lawsuits pending and you bet I'll be there to watch and have the last laugh.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED IN THE CABLE FEILD I WAS DOING AN INSTALL ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS AND I WENT TO THE LOCK BOX TO HOOKEM UP AND 3 BABY SQUIRRELS FELL OUT TO THE GROUND THEY SCARED THE S--T OUT OF ME. BUT THEN I RELIZED WHAT THEY WHERE SO I HURRIED UP AND RAN TO THEM I WAS AFRAID THAT THEY WHERE DEAD BUT THEY WHERE
OK. SO I FOUND A GOOD HOME FOR THEM. THE VET SAID THAT THEY DRINK CATS MILK WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG. SO IF ANY OF YOU RUN ACROSS SOME BABY SQUIRRLES THAT ARE STRANDED NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO FEED THEM.
