Damn dude, you live a crazy work life. I made a post about not taking a painting job because the scaffolding was just too much for me. I couldn't imagine getting in a cherry picker, in the winter, with the snow, wind, and freezing temps, way up in the air around electrical wires...you might be crazy splatz! ;)

I am gonna pretend you didn’t call my bucket truck a cherry picker... LOL. Many do call us crazy and when my dad first brought up the idea to me about getting into the trade he said, “ya, you’re crazy enough”. Lol. Stupid or crazy not sure sometimes. But I do enjoy hanging from the bottom of a helicopter on a 60 foot rope flying from tower to tower. Feet never actually touch the ground until the end of the day. That is fun. 😉
LOL! I was under the impression that any truck with a movable bucket was in essence a cherry picker. No mean to insult your truck, haha. Please feel free to enlighten me on the difference :)
The helicopter ride sounds fun, but still not for me. Glad to know you get so much joy out of it though.
I don’t know why but I laugh every time I see that along with this one...
Ya... I’m not right in the head....
Bucket trucks are highway worthy cherry pickers have to be hauled on a trailer. Not sure if that is the exact definition but that is a lineman’s definition. I have seen vans with a boom and bucket on them. They look hilarious. I was trying to get our meter man to order one for his next company rig. Lol.
Ok, that helps clear the confusion.
That second gif I have seen before, but like you, it got me lol'ing in my car before work. I probably looked like a lunatic, staring at my phone hidden from outside view, giggling like a school girl. Even now, catching a glimpse of it, can't help but laugh.
