I had a piece of antenna tap me gently on the knoggin the day AFTER my health insurance went into effect (Thank God)

Next year as I got ready to climb up a tower to string some tunnel lights to light up the site... I put on my hard hat... .As I got to the point where I was going to hang the end of the string my ground man ask why I was wearing the hard hat.

I stuffed the line through the tower, then tossing with one hand and changing grip on the tower while the end of the cable was "in flight" I caught it with the other hand...


Right after it slapped me up-side the hard hat

(no damage)

Ground man just says "OH" His question having been asnwered.

I still have that hard hat.. or one just like it.
