Sorry guys, I cannot locate anything on the Discovery Channel that shows he will be at the Mackinac Bridge tonight June 26th, or at any other time.
Any ideas how to verify this?

Richard[/b]You know Richard I have checked and didn't find anything either.. All I can verify is that last week on the show they had a preview of next's week's show ( this week now) and said it would be on... It might not be listed as the highlight of the show or the main story. I guess we will tune in and see tonight.. Let's hope so.

I think the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor & Detroit would be nasty as well. Weren't there some chaps killed working on it a year or so ago? I'm across it a couple of times every year & they're always working on it it seems.

Well on our t.v it was billboards.........Good show, but not what we were thinking we would be watching.. :bash: I don't know why the discovery channel said it was going to be something different. Very dissapointing for sure. Oh well, keep your eyes and ears tuned in for the show we were hoping for.

Snow4

Ya, I kept flipping to it last night during the ball game (what a waste of time it was to watch the Tigers last night :( ). There were several episodes in a row last night and I checked on all of them.

Keep an eye peeled and let the rest of us know if anyone sees it coming up. :)

Yes on our boob tube it was the building of the new bridge over the Colorado river the Hoover dam great show but will be watching for this show.


Rick

I guess it was not on and I cannot locate it on their listings either. I'm sure it will show up, keep looking.

Richard

My mom told me that it was on 9&10 news that they filmed it, I am sure it will be on sometime.

Well....at least I know I'm not going crazy..Thank you !

Snow4

If anyone sees/hears anything about the bridge on Dirty jobs, shout loud. You don't think it would only be shown in the northern part of the country do you? Nah, that wouldn't make sense.
If you hear let us know!
Richard

One dirty job I would not want to do is unload Hospital renderings to be incinerated... Major YUK!!!

How about this one. I just spent 4 hours embalming a lady with flesh eating disease and you dare not get that on you. I rarely discuss my cases but this one was bad.
Currently though, she will be just fine for the funeral come Tuesday morning and is now safe to touch.

Duly noted w00t

Lets change a light bulb NOT! w00t Looks like it was filmed over the Memorial
Day weekend!

Pretty good show, I liked it. Geeeeez Long way up to change a lightbulb ehh? w00t That person who honked was distracting to him and it would have been for me too. Sheeeesh !

Painting the cables isn't such a gravey job either. WOW !


If you ever get a chance to walk that bridge on Labor day......Doo it ! I have done it and it's absolutely gorgeous from up there. Nothing like walking on a grid and seeing water way way way down below you.. :p

Snow4

Great episode! I was glued.

I loved it! It was interesting to see the inside workings of the columns and do not think I would want to spend my work day down there. I would however, would love to ride the elevator to the top for a moment. My wife checked into this for me a couple years ago and as it turns out, they do a lottery where you purchase an opportunity to go to the top but it is strictly a lucky draw. Corporate companies do this so I'm sure it is not cheap.

Richard

I would like to change that bulb on top that view has to be spectacular from 552 feet :thumbsup:

Darn it, I missed it :( . I just had to go to the Tigers game last night. If anyone sees it repeating in the future please let me know.

I would have went to the Tigers game, too.

Thanks Snow4 :thumbsup:

FWIW, it was a pretty good game, Tampa hits a grand slam to tie it in the eigth only to have Detroit come back and whip em on the bottom part of the inning.
