TV Coincidence
Yesterday while channel surfing, I came across 2 shows back-to-back on
National Geographic Channel. One of them was about installing a new lift at Sleeping Giant in Wyoming; the next was about installing hte new tram at Jackson Hole. I found one thing particularly interesting - the way they spliced the haul cable to make a continuous loop. |

I have always wanted to see how that was done, I have looked at many cables over the years and never could find even a hint of whre they were spliced. |

I have always wanted to see how that was done, I have looked at many cables over the years and never could find even a hint of whre they were spliced. They went through that part rather quickly, but from what I could tell -- They started by unraveling every other outer strand from each end. It looked like they then cut back the core and remaining strands in an expert way (expert meaning I don't know the details) Then they layed the remaining long strands into the gaps on the other end. There was some sort of sleight of hand with fids and hammers near the end that the camera didn't show very well - but that seemed to be it. |

I was up on Capitol Hill and stopped at a light next to the East Precinct SPD station, and a cop walked right in front of me. Turns out I know him, and he stopped to say hello. Amazingly enough, he did not arrest, charge, and jail me for telling the truth about you!!!!!!! Here I'm giving you **** about being a lying, stalking piece of **** clown who got blown off with a FORM EMAIL, and then I talk to a cop!!!!!! Unfortunately, I'm sure he's not the cop that laughed at you. How about telling me his name and rank so he and I can laugh together at you? Contact info? |

I hunted through the usual sources but couldn't find anything except a short thing at the NatGeo site which wouldn't work. It says I need a newer version of flash, but the one I have is the newest they have. Smacks of poor programming by their web designer. Oh well... -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== ====== "We don't know how smart people can be, but we know that dumb goes all the way to zero." -- Joe Chew |

Got any comment on your buddies falsely accusing me of molesting children? How about your buddy Ted Waldron and his ongoing campaign to paint me as a freak about to go postal, a tactic you have used yourself? Maybe your buddy Dickless Henry gave you the name of the cop he lied to, how about fessing up? Oooooops, forgot. When I point out your moral and ethical failings, I am victimizing you, right? But when your buddies smear me and stalk me, I am not a victim. I'm a victimizer because I make them do it because I won't stop telling the truth. Smacks of poor programming in your conscience, actually. Oh, welll....... |

I've been splicing cable for 35 years. I remember when splicing fiber-optic cable was a big deal. Now you can buy a kit at www.graybar.com and one person can do it. Vote for Romney.
