Paul got up at 6:45 and went to Old Ranch to meet up with the Burns family.\u00a0 Susie and Oden were in with Loki so we had a breakfast burritos and champagne from the snack shack!<\/p>\n

While returning home Paul spotted a LARGE crane lumbering down the street towards our house.\u00a0 While working in the yard, the crane popped it head up and it was tall and on the next street.<\/p>\n

Sue went to the hand therapist and on the way home we tried to see what it was up to but the streets were blocked off.<\/p>\n

After working in the front yard for a while, curiosity got the better of Paul and he walked over to the next block!\u00a0 Edison was replacing rotten power poles!\u00a0 There were several large trucks assisting the effort.<\/p>\n

Southern California Edison (SCE) routinely inspects, repairs and upgrades almost 1.5 million utility poles and the thousands of electrical components on these distribution structures throughout its service territory. According to SCE: \u201cOver the last few decades, more and more devices have been installed on poles with the various advances in technology and the way people now communicate,\u201d said Trainor. \u201cFrom phone lines to cable TV, to the Internet and now wireless service, some of the poles are carrying a heavier load so assessing, planning and remediating poles that do not meet today\u2019s safety code is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"It<\/a>

It did block the street<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul asked one of the workers several questions about the process and the answers were very interesting! Did you know there was a SoCal Joint Pole Committee?\u00a0 The Joint Pole Committee is made up of a group of member representatives of utilities, communications, and municipalities in Southern California who hold joint equity interest in utility poles. Established by telephone, electricity and railroad companies, the Committee has existed since October 10, 1906. It was formed as a result of the need to limit the number of poles in the field and to create a uniform procedure for recording ownership of poles.<\/p>\n

\"It<\/a>

It had quite a reach and the top had to be at least\u00a0 the height of a power pole plus the height of the house!<\/p><\/div>\n

There was a definite bend on the crane as it took on various loads!\u00a0 The crane operator was outstanding.\u00a0 He put the hook in the hands of the lineman at 150 feet away!<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>

What a reach! Amazing!<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul continued working in the yard while Sue made homemade applesauce directly from our trees!\u00a0 Delicious!<\/p>\n

We got cleaned up and headed to the Garden Grove Elks for an evening of dancing and dining!\u00a0 Great fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
