Even so, John,
If you have the chance, in you area, a good look at a Lineman's Rodeo would give you a good idea of what is required, albeit at higher speed.
Or even having a look at working teams in your area.
Us Utility workers work in some really nasty weather and it is just like water off of a ducks back.
It annoys me a tad when EC's here complain about the "slackness of the Utilities".
That same crew could have jointed half of the grid in thier town, while the EC slept soundly.
I'm not looking to start a "thing" here, but unless you've worked out in the middle of high winds and driving rain, trying to re-instate supply to a whole town, about 10 minutes after you got out of bed.
