Men's Campfire

well
put a new plug in 25 mile fence charger on around my septic field
which is about 500 feet of polywire in total in a double loop.....
damn bucket fed calf we saved last spring kept going in there

I'm planning on mixing him back with the herd by letting them into HIS
pasture and don't want them on my septic field either

I'd fixed one short in the line and my tester goes to 9.9 and it buried it

so I figured he wasn't grounding when saw him back in there
so I had some Old 1st try polywire that's pretty small, about 1/16 of an inch
in diameter.....so I ran it down by the ground all the way around to the end
around each T post really setting up a REALLY good ground.

in the way I found a new short in main 1/4" polywire 1/2 way and repaired it
and turned on the unit...and no short....and just left it on and kept going

well right at the end I wasn't in the best position in a corner
and was being wary of the hot wire but didn't notice up close
I'd left a tail sticking out from the end while sitting there on the ground...
So there I was trying to reach in to the end where it was tight to reach
and about 2-3 inches above my forehead, through my hat....I touched
that 6 inch tail sticking out, cuzz my old age vision....up close ain't so hot...
that top notch polywire is green and couldn't tell it from the grass
So I was kneeling hooking up the end around the last T post base
which is attached to metal horse fence to which the unit is grounded.

it flattened me face first on the ground...I dropped like a rock....
my legs went straight back and I was lying face down......
felt something like a hammer hitting my skull and heard a Kee-RACK!
that sounded like LIGHTNING....I'm still a little fuzzy from my homemade
electrotherapy

even now I picked up Russian Radio on one gold crown....
and then one from South Africa at the same time in another gold crown....
ok....just kidding about the radio stations....I only got China.....*chuckle*
but joking aside the rest is gospel truth....I'm even still a little wobbly

now I'm wondering if might harm the poor little feller.....if he touches that wire
even once....I'm betting he never goes near it again. It's hot enough to make
them paranoid about electric fences. I'm afraid to test it now and blow out
my nifty store bought electric fence tester. ©
