aggienaut: (snail piracy)

   There's this house in Coto whose roof is too steep to clamber up, but too slanted to lean a ladder against. I was there first with technician Bobby, but he couldn't get it out. Then I returned with our senior techician Ryan -- we spent 45 minutes setting up and he went up there with a harness but then determined he couldn't do it. So yesterday morning Boss Dave, Ryan, & I came back for a third attempt. Dave went up with the harness & nailed 2x4s into the roof for added footing, while Ryan was positioned halfway up (on a lower roofpeak actually) and passed equipment between Dave & myself on the ground.
   After more than an hour of set up we were finally in position and working when a car came to the bottem of the drive way and started honking. Driver shouted something like "learn to park!" and demanded we repark our cars asap. We thought it was the homeowner gone berserk because she couldn't park in her driveway -- despite this boss dave shouted from atop the roof that she could go to hell. It turns out though that it wasn't the homeowner, but some deranged coto resident who thinks the world revolves around them and that even though they could easily go around the back of our truck thtey shouldn't have to deal with any kind of inconvenience from us lesser folk.
