Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

The other day I mentioned that I would talk about the fence getting hit on another day. Well I guess now's as good time as any. Especially since it happened again. It's only been 2 or so months since the last time and now with this one last night this makes 4 times in about a years time. It seems like I always have something exciting going on around here and it's not always windmill related. It's hard not to get frustrated with these kinds of repairs especially since they take up so much of my time. By the time I get a brick guy to come out and and pour a new foundation for the a new column and I get the iron work done about a month will have gone by. So much for working on windmills

I would expect there to be some parts left at the scene to identify the make and model of the hit & run perp. Then I would start looking for a vehicle that's apparently still driveable or have you ID'd the driver? Start by looking at all local school parking lots and markets and malls.

Then I'd buy a few gallons of airplane gas and a flare pistol. (Oops, already have the flare gun and a round). Next problem ?

hahaha

Back in Louisiana in the early sixties a long line of old oak trees was bulldozed from along Hwy 190 west of Baton Rouge because morons kept running off of the road and hitting them. The obvious solution here is to remove those dangerous obstacles that have been intentionally placed in positions that impede vehicular traffic across your property. First you might try posting a "vehicle free zone" sign.

However, I like the flare pistol idea.

Or someone looking intensely at the collection of windmills.
