I live rural. I'm in kitchen hear a rumble on the outside wall. Go out turn corner and there's the asshole writing down the new meter number. Now I got a dog with me and he's giving him the what for. I tell him pulling a move like that could possibly get him shot. My exact words are you could have been shot. I'm so pissed off I storm away from what he's doing and go back inside. My wife gets a call an hour later from elec Co op explaining they don't take threats lightly. So he goes back after our conversation and lies to his superiors that I threatened him. Now I'm screaming while my wife's on the phone that if they thought that was a threat then to send his lying ass back and I'll show him a threat. After 10 minutes of them pointing the finger we want to see a superior face to face. They decline. After this I found out that all new meters communicate to one another like a daisy chain and when the reach a communication hub it downloads all the daisy chained info to main office. They use to have to drive by to get the data but now it's automated. The gate stays shut now. Next time it will play out way different. County sherriff wont even go thru shut gate.

Until next time

Ps

Don't go off half cocked!
