Screw climbing.  This could be a little more electrifying!

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Wonder what those guys climbing to the top of the towers make.

Back when I was a young man and it was not a terrorist fearful America my buddy and I used to find and climb the highest objects we could find.  Towers, construction cranes we would sneak into highrise buildings and go swimming in penthouse pools.  I even sat on top of the red light on top of a construction crane once.  Figured no one will ever sit in the same place on the planet I did.

What was the motivator?  Boredom, not a ton of cash and we were a combination of extremely talented athletes and stupid as it gets.  To many stories to tell over that stuff.

I have never been afraid of heights, just falling from them.   
Two things I don't do.  Keyboard bullies and hypocrites.
