I think it have been among the worst winter i can remember. Cold with overcast for weeks in a row
verry few days with clear sky -40 for several days in a row.
Usualy march is clear sky with cold nights and sunny days with abow freezing but not this year
Thursday was sunny with +6 celsius but the wegot overcast with 10 inch of snow this weekend
Funny thing, today when i came home from the shop the snow was shoveled from the front porsh
I thought the wife had done it but....It was Jehovahs Witnesses that had done it

FE Technical Forum / Re: Who Made this Rod?
« on: March 08, 2024, 12:15:13 PM »All good points.
Wait? What, what.....what just happened here?
Did Frank just agree with Bill and Brent?
Where am I? What has happened to this place?
I get the serrated cap concept, but don't like the idea on a steel rod. Just like the 'cracked caps' they use on today's engines, they are a one and done deal. For an aluminum rod, they make good sense.

Yes here was the solid porcelain on powerlines black or darkbrown on the outside white inside
Dont remember what was on telephone lines
I think i have a couple insulators somewhere in the barn.If i found them i can send you and Doug one eash if you
want an Swedish insulator to the collection
One of the last powerlinepoles still standing was actaualy in my yard.
when i came home from a journey to USA i saw a pole layng i my yard
what hapened here
Then i saw the powerline ower to the neighbour was gone.
The day after, when i cut the lawn the mower hit something hard, the hub for the rotary blade split. It was the crimping pliers for the conections
the lineworkers had dropped.
Perfect for crimping conectors on the cabel to the starter and groundwires
It have a rotary wheel with i think six different dimensions
I decided i borrow it from them untill they ask for it
Then if they give me a new hub for the blade they can have the crimper

Nice Shady, They are 59 Fords on the transport?
The things in the window, is that different insulators from powerlines?
Yep, those are power line insulators. Got a collection of them myself. Kids today would probably think they're butt plugs.

LOL Butplugs
Here we only got one Power company, the Goverment owned. So only one type of insulatorsBut many years since the powerlines was dug down under the ground.
I found the one to my house when i dug a pond for the wife in the garden.
The final adjustment sweep in one corner with the bucket, could have dun it with a shovel but naaah.
Just when i saw it hanging over the corner of the bucket BAAAM and a shower of sparks
and all the neigbour was powerles. Had to call out the powercompany on a weekend, became a damn expensiv pond for its size
