Last summer I noticed a new guy bushogging the property next to me. I know the guy and he is the type person that goes wide open at everything he does. I have bushoged the property for the previous owner so I knew a little about it.
I thought I better go out and warn him about a power pole guide wire on the property that was unmarked and virtually unseen with grown up vegitation.

LUCKY he wasn't hurt--just had to change his underware before he could help me fight the fire. :D
My power was knocked out so the power company was notified and they immediately placed a yellow covering on the outside of the guide wire. :!:
