No Mess is So Sweet
Guys...just a heads up. Saturday, October 18th is Sweetest Day.
I know what you鈥檙e thinking, what the heck is Sweetest Day? Think Valentine鈥檚 Day, but in October.
Fire Saftey for Firefighters

Last Chance
With just days left, I am on the edge of my seat, because the race for 7M视频 Head of the Class instructor of the year award is still anyone鈥檚 game! And with a $1000 prize on the line, EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
Handy Item for Fall/Winter
Fall has officially arrived! Tuesday marked the official first day of Fall. Although it is still a pleasant 70 degrees in northern Illinois, we鈥檝e already had a taste of the brisk cold that will be here before we know it. And if forecasters are to be believed, it鈥檚 going to be another brutal winter.
I鈥檓 not waiting around for it. I鈥檝e already ordered a new hi-viz 7M视频 Orange Fleece Jacket and a Knit Hat. I also got my hands on a pair of our brand-new Journeyman鈩 Cold Weather Gloves.
Oh the Horror!
When you ask electricians about their experience using wire pulling lubricant, you can pretty much count on a negative response.
Now, I鈥檝e never pulled wire before, but I鈥檝e had the鈥ispleasure鈥f handling the traditional wax lubricant, so I completely understand why. There is nothing nice you can say about that stuff. The texture, the color, the fact that you can鈥檛 ever seem to get the stuff off your hands, clothes, etc.

Thankfully, there is one now鈥 7M视频鈥 Exclusive Foam Wire Pulling鈥
Working at 101
Turning 101 years old would be a major milestone in anyone鈥檚 life, so how did Herman 鈥淗y鈥 Goldman celebrate his 101st birthday? By going to work.
Yep, Hy still clocks in at his 9-to-5 job four days a week鈥.as he鈥檚 done for the last 73 YEARS! As if that wasn鈥檛 impressive enough, he鈥檚 worked at the same company for that entire time.
Keep Calm and Share Electrician鈥檚 Memes
Internet photo meme鈥檚鈥.It seems you can鈥檛 escape them lately. And as much as I try to ignore them, every once in a while I come across one that catches my attention. That鈥檚 what happened this weekend, when a friend sent me a good one about electricity (scroll down to see it).
It got me thinking, I wonder what other good electricity/electrician meme鈥檚 are out there?
Head of the Class
It鈥檚 back to school time! School supplies at seemingly every store you go to, big yellow buses moving slowly through traffic and Facebook news feeds full of pictures of kids heading off on their first day of school.
This time of year always makes me nostalgic. I was always one of those kids who actually LIKED going to school, and I credit a lot of that to my teachers. I was lucky enough to have great teachers from grade school all the way through college who taught me a lot, but also instilled in me a love of learning that I still have today.
