Whitfield, Personally i love your commentary. You make a helluva lot of sense. There's nothing wrong with trying to come up with a better way or think new idea's. every invention, everything started with an idea. People discussing alternatives, idea's going back and forth. Maybe this person who seems to enjoy name calling suffers from small penis envy and the only way he can feel "big" is to put other people down. Maybe he wants to meet behind the big tree after recess and fight.maybe this splicer should realize Cable dawgs need to stick together. its the only way we are all going to survive and hopefully prosper in this business.

Finally,has anyone else had trouble getting on here today?How does a man write an article, about his life.How can he reach people,how does he make them see through his eyes.Well let me start by apolog- ising.Last night we were cooking out with friends,I had already had too much to drink, you know how it is when you can enjoy some time off at the home 20.Anyway,I read what John wrote, and hell flew in me.I've got good control of my temper,but when anyone is drinking ,control, sometimes just goes right out the window.John what have I done to make you so mad with me?What ever it is I apologise. John I know it was you.Ben from Protel called me this morning and let me know it was not them,and that Protel did not appreciate me implicating them,he told me you resined your position with them in Tuscon.Apon that news, I apologised,and I also think they they are one of the top co's to work for.You do your work properly and you get paid.They paid me every dime they owed me .John have you forgotton how I kept Paul Beck from kicking you ass, or Larry from intimidating you. Mark Connely aka SplicerLife for me,I would like to by you a plane ticket to come the cable dogs fishing tourney,the year.(interested?) Shane,glad to know your opion,opions are like assholes everbody has one,I don't mind deleting your file,it was a short one any way,guess it is because your young,I was building systems, before you were born.Sounds like you think you have all the answers,"GOOD LUCK" young man. Let me now tell all about the man, that wants unity, among cable dogs,me! I was born in 1957. I am a leo,I'm 6'3" tall, a solid 240lbs, I have brown hair and blue eyes.I enjoy many water sports,I hunt,fish,basketball,baseball, all kinds of sports,my most favotate Jumping 10ft seas offshore,in a cigarett boat, Now let me tell you thats intense.The main purpose or drive I have in life are my wife and chrildren,they grow up so fast.Their ages are 16,12,8,and 2,boy,boy,girl,boy.Their names are Logan,Morgan,Mary Cameron and Tanner.Now you know my family.What Qualifys me to be the captin,well lets see,I graduated High School, (BIG DEAL) I turned down a three year full paid scholarship in electronics when I was a senior because I was supposed to have been one of the owners at the boat place I had been working,since I was 13.I left ther after I gratuating school.I wanted in the corp.their answer was I'm sorry its too late its closed. After five years,(welcome to the real world).I left NC,and moved to Ft.Lauderale Fla.worked as a professional bouncer,bartender,ran an escort service,collected money for bookies, did alot of different things.Hell I can even rember when I use to arm wrestle for money,I even broke my roomates arm,in a match.ask Clark to ask my brother,he was there.I then moved back to NC and got into cable did that till 82, off a year,ran two night clubs,and a motel, that was the year I met my sweetie,we got married in 83 and I went back into cable.Logan my oldest son was concieved at the ASI office in fairfax,Mike Brakefield let me pitch,a pup tent, secured down by cinder blocks,we slept on air mattresses.I wonder how many ASI people rember that tent in the old installer room.That tent is where we made Logan,he's Born and bred Cable Dog.From there we moved back to Morehead. I wen't to work as a service mgr.at one of the big dry stacks.I then,bought out the largest at time'fiberglass repair/fabrication centers on the east coast,I was really kickin butt there,and my sister commits scuicide over a heart doctor.I lost it,My mother had three of us kids in 27&1/2 months,needless to say as brothers and sister.(enough) I went back into cable and its what I've done every since. IN my life I have done many things I will list things in which I hold certificates and a few of the trades I am good at.I am certified in Johnson,Evinrude,Mercury,OMC stringer and cobra drives,welding,auto mech,I paint cars, boats,houses,you name it,I can do fiberglass beginning to end,from your idea to the plug, the mold ,to the finshed product.Iwas President of T ball 4yrs,coached Basketball,baseball,as well as serving on their boards,for 9yrs.Let me tell you one of the most gratifying things in life is to hae a child that you coached come up to you when their in high school and shake you hand and say,thanks coach,you gave me heart,you taught me how to win and lose,to mind my tongue to the umpire,so many things thanks.You talk about something tat will make your eyes water,thats what makes all those years worth it.Now About personality,I am Gruff but loving.I command resepct from all who walk in my space.I am a Gladiator , a Shark,A Preator.I have very strong convictions about life,In business I am honest and hard working.I am no better than the poorest man that works with me. Notice I said with me,not for me.Thats how I feel about it.Enough about ME, lets talk about the industry.How many of you cable dogs give a thought toward the future.Look at satillites, when its all said and done,well they aren't hooked together with wire and cable.Where does that leave us.IN two to three years the major poriton of todays rebild/upgrade will be done.Where does that leave the little man,you could go in house for one of moms,or may you'd get maintence and extenisions for one of the bloodsuckers that live off of your labor,so he can stay in business till the next big boom,then he can get fatter,off a bunch of peoples blood,and sweat.HELL!!! its the American way.All I'm going to try to tell anybody is don't put all your eggs in one baskett.ONE last note to Shane,I have forgotton more than you Know,Where the is alot of smoke there is usually "A BIG ASS FIRE" People I'll say it again we need to pull together,if you control the labor,you control the price.I have the answers.I thank you for your time to read this,please keep the e-mails coming to BigDuck69@*****.com till the next time Peace "WHITFIELD"

Well when u drink and think and say shit you dont mean and regret it later you are putting the noose around your own neck. It's just a matter of time before u hang yourself.Especially when you bite the hands that feed you. How can you throw stones when I can say I have never seen any cable guys that live in a glass house. All I have ever seen on the wet cement is negative comments,but we atre supose 2 all work together. Iagree w/ shane(no offense)but the truth hurts!!!!If you cant take the heat get the fuck out the kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
