Blair's graduation!

We went to Boise on Aug.14 for Blair's graduation from the Northwest Lineman College. We had to be there at 9:00 am so we could see him compete in their lineman rodeo. Each team member had a timed event they had to do. Blair's event was Pole-Top Rescue. Not sure what that means but you basically run up your pole and rescue the "dummy" at the top of it. It was kind-of fun to watch him in action.

The last event they got to do was the "mystery event" which turned out to be that each team member was blindfolded and had to tie their five special knots they learn at school while being timed.

Heres a picture of Blair with the kids in between events.

This is Blair walking across the stage accepting his certificate. Side note. Blair also won the overall skills award for his class.

This last picture is what we call the "Trailer Park Boys." Blair found a guy who rents out trailer spaces to guys going to this lineman college on his small ranch. These are the other guys that also had trailers on this guys property. They all got to be pretty good friends and really looked out for each other. L-R Blair, Mckay, Mike, Kevin, and Patrick.
