There is a show by that name on TV. But it is on cable, so we don’t get to see it, except when we are on vacation.
Or when my boss sees a show he thinks I would enjoy and he tapes it.
Yesterday he gave me a tape of Dirty Jobs, cleaning the Soo Locks in winter.
Very interesting. They were mucking out the channels beneath the locks where the water flows from Superior, into the bottom of the locks, and up through some rather large slits. Debris gets down into these areas too, so they have to clean them out periodically. Also in some pump channels, and then trying to melt the ice behind the stop logs and on the front of the lock.
I just never knew exactly what they did. Fun.
Although the host seemed a bit put off by the temperature. I think he does dirty well, just not so much the cold.
